    I bought Minecraft when it was first purchaseable. Only converted my account last month as my new-school-entrant kid has asked what it is.

    And honestly, I wish I didn’t. The MS launcher is an absolute shit show in usability for adults, let alone kids. Next time it forces me to log back in I’m just pirating it.

    I bought two copies, I’ll fucking run them how I please.

      I use the Modrinth App because it’s the place where cool people get minecraft mods now, and as a Minecraft launcher it’s a lot better - it uses an auth token system so you only sign in once with Microsoft’s website to connect the app to the login.

      I’m amazed at how much better the official launcher is on Linux than on windows.

      Windows:

      • complains if your logged in account doesn’t match your game account
      • Requires you to log out of one account to log into another in a not very clear or user friendly way

      Linux

      • No logged in account to complain about
      • Lists all your accounts and lets you swap by clicking on the one you want in the accounts list
