I host my own Minecraft server and have online-mode set to false in serer.properties.
Now, I want others to join but I don’t expect them to buy a legitimate copy of Minecraft. Isn’t that why we use this setting online-mode?
In the ol’ days (1.8 and post), I remember using some copy of Minecraft where I could just change my username on every start of this client, and join my server. Period. Done. I want the same again. Is this possible? In a non-illegal way? What about grey-area? I don’t care about security or impersonation (partly).
As I said in the post title (which I should make more clear), I want friends that don’t have a bought account to join my server that has online-mode=false. Is this possible? Or another way they can join without an account.
Yes, by downloading a pirated version that you need.
