Hi,
Minecraft Java Edition can be easily installed on OpenBSD using the
games/minecraft port (see e.g. https://openports.se/games/minecraft).
Before I buy the game, which at 17.95 GBP is reasonably priced IMHO,
I wanted to ask the OpenBSD community whether anyone has been able to
get the Minecraft port to work using a Microsoft account: Since 1
December 2020 one needs a Microsoft account to buy and play Minecraft
Java Edition.
I have attempted to start the games/minecraft port in demo mode using
the instructions posted at
https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Demo_mode: Supposedly passing the
--demo argument to minecraft.jar should launch the demo. Assuming
these instructions are correct, I have not been able to log in to
Minecraft using my Microsoft account despite registering the account
for a free trial.
Would anyone know the magic trick to play Minecraft Java Edition on
OpenBSD using a Microsoft account?
Cheers,
Mark
I have an account with the paid game. For me it runs perfectly.
However there is a problem: this launcher is outdated. Now there is a
new one that runs from a native executable, and the Java one is
deprecated. This means that you can't run the newer versions (haven't
tried it, but after a bit of searching I can find complains from
version 1.14.4).
And I can't find what are you saying about that «Demo mode page». It
clearly says that for launching the demo you only need to login as an
account without the game bought. The «--demo» option is for servers.
To handle the newer versions we have games/multimc for a more
feature-rich launcher or you can tinker with
games/py-minecraft-launcher-lib (kmos@ has scripts for different
versions here: https://github.com/kmosiejczuk/minecraft-launchers). But
no, neither currently handles Microsoft accounts. I believe multimc
plans that for their 0.7 release.
