I haven’t played Minecraft since 2015, but I get the feeling I might again in the new few years as I wanna find new hobbies. I know that game has changed a whole lot but I don’t have any official online data on it.
I’ve had this Microsoft account for over a decade and its probably full of personal information that I wanna let go of, I’ve already exported all my data. I would need to pay $30 for another copy of Minecraft, same price I paid in 2013. I just did a bunch of searching and its not possible to transfer my Minecraft license to another account.
Nothing will unharvest your data. Do your best moving forward.
I dunno, although pirating Minecraft is rather easy, I’d be a bit wary of deleting an account you spent money on like this. Doubly so if you used Hotmail.
Nothing worse than finding you need access to an old account, then realizing it’s registered to an old email address you deleted. Headache!If I was you I’d delete all the data you can from the account, set a new very strong password, enable 2FA and leave it dormant. Never know when you might need it again ya know?
this is the way. you will be glad you didnt delete it completely.
use this opportunity to delete all accounts you can that are associated with that email that are actually useless.
Luanti is quite good.
1 - I don’t believe you can use Minecraft without Microsoft any more - Mojang accounts were discontinued in favour of Microsoft accounts, and unmigrated accounts were deleted in 2023.
2 - Many updates have happened, but the launcher still lets you download and play every single version released, from major (x.), minor (.xx), to snapshots and one day specials, to the very first working version. Note: the first version is also available to play online for free. The last non-Microsoft update was 1.7.2 I believe
in retrospect i’m so glad i pirated that shit.
I still find MultiMC/it’s forks much better for the sole reason it has an “instances” folder and every folder has it’s own Minecraft version. Idk why but I feel that way is more organized
I use prisim mc. I forget why they forked but it works fine for me.
Mmc dev was doing shady at best stuff.
Like? I’m out of the loop
Check out Luanti. It used to be called Minetest. It’s a libre version of the same thing.
