Minecraft Piracy
This post contains a list of resources for people wishing to play Minecraft for free, including launchers, bypasses for launcher account checks, and skin/auth services. ### Launchers This section focuses on custom launchers. #### PollyMC PollyMC is a fork of the popular launcher known as PrismLauncher, it has been modified to remove the Premium account requirement, and also has had other features re-added like FTB modpack support and curseforge bypass which many other launchers chose to remove. In addition PollyMC also comes with support for [Alternative Auth Services](https://github.com/fn2006/PollyMC/wiki/Alternative-Auth-Servers). The launcher is available on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, and even has flatpak available (not available in flathub). [PollyMC Github](https://github.com/fn2006/PollyMC) #### Legacy Launcher Legacy Launcher, formerly known as TLauncher is a Minecraft Launcher with support for the Ely.by auth server as well as robust modding support. In Legacy launcher you need to download mods and modpacks manually as it doesn't have download support built-in to the client like PollyMC. To download you will need to use a VPN to another country as the Admins of the site disabled downloads to certain countries. You could also use the russian Mirror version of the site. [Official Site](https://llaun.ch/en) [Russian Mirror](https://lln4.ru/en) For the Flathub version you will have to run this command to bypass Microsoft account requirements:\ `flatpak --user override ch.tlaun.TL --env=TL_BOOTSTRAP_OPTIONS=-Doomsday` #### Prism/Poly/MultiMC Bypass If you really want to use the Original Prism or MultiMC Launcher versions these have Microsoft account requirements in them, however it is possible to bypass this requirement. A guide by the name of [PrismLauncher bypass](https://rentry.co/freemc) highlights how to do this, both automatically via commands or manually by copying the file. The accounts.json file also works on MultiMC and other similar forks. #### Warning about Malicious Launchers There are certain launchers out there such as TLauncher which are malicious and include spyware in them. Such Launchers are often named after or similarly to well known reputable launchers. It's important to only download reputable launchers from official sources. ### Alternate Auth/Skin servers This next section focuses on alternate auth servers, these are a few picked from the list of auth servers on PollyMC's github. #### [Ely.by](https://ely.by) Ely.by is one of the more popular Auth servers, it includes its own Skins system, which is proxied with the official one allowing both skin systems to be active together. In addition Ely.by can also be installed on servers which allows for it to be used as authorization in place of the official servers. #### [Blessing Skin Server](https://skin.prinzeugen.net/) Blessing skin server is another popular authorization server, as the name implies this one's primary focus is on Minecraft skins, it supports both regular and also HD skins. It does have auth support as well but its auth support isn't as well documented as ely\.by. #### [LittleSkin (alt Instance of Blessing Skin)](https://littleskin.cn) A secondary instance of Blessing Skin with basically the same features, just on a different website. ### Non-Premium Servers While the majority of Minecraft servers these days are premium servers there are still plenty of servers which do not require premium account login. You can find these servers on various lists such as: - [TopG](https://topg.org/minecraft-servers/type/No-Premium/) - [Minecraftlist.org](https://minecraftlist.org/category/cracked-servers) - [MinecraftIPList.com](https://www.minecraftiplist.com/server-tags/Nopremium) Mos of these servers are public Minigames servers, if you want more survival oriented or building servers these are harder to find. People can feel free to share servers they know of here. Also there are basically no free servers at all which use alternate auth servers like ely.by and BlessingSkin, Hopefully this can change in the future, if you know of any such servers feel free to share them in this community.
