Minecraft is easy to pirate…but why? Well to answer you: there is 0 effort to pirate it, download the client.jar from mojang official APIs (which is totally FREE) and run the jar without using any valid session ID, done! What…that’s too easy, were is the catch? Well you can’t have a skin, you can’t play minecraft servers that don’t allow un-authenticated users and anyone can use the same user without any password
Is that really piracy? I mean i am using a free thing, not messing with microsoft shit - yes i did read mojang eula and no- it’s not against it.
So i wonder: can we just not call it piracy? Dunno…i leave the words to y’all!

    There is one more catch: you can’t play LAN games either without a valid session ID. (start singleplayer world -> ESC -> open LAN multiplayer)

    You have to properly start a server so that you can change the conf to allow offline accounts.

        It’s the other way around. You can get modpacks for a client super easy with a one click install, but adding them to a server is manual and you have to read on how to set that up. Not worth the effort if you want to quickly play with 2 people on LAN.
