Is it possible to play MInecraft on GNU/Linux without a Microsoft account? (lemmy.world)

I've been trying to play Minecraft with different launchers but they all ask me to login with a Microsoft account. I don't wanna install TLauncher but I can't find a free option. ¿Do you know how I can do it?

I tried it once and it required to sign in. But thanks

You probably tried PolyMC (one L), not PollyMC (two L). The later explicitly allows you to use offline mode without an account. (I know it for sure as I use it.)

Thanks a lot! It worked

[–] Cheez@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a PolyMC going around here with one L, no sense of humour.

Yeah, that's the original fork of MultiMC. Eventually renamed to PrismMC to avoid confusion with the pirate one.

PrismMC is an old modded server client. PrismLauncher, forked from PolyMC, is a rename spirit but not for any branding reasons like confusion with PollyMC.

Are you sure? I use PolyMC, if you create an instance and right click on it one of the options is to play offline, without an account
