MODERATORS
I don't understand, what are you asking then? Everything seems to work?
Didn't you read the post, did OP change it fully or am I hallucinating? They're asking how someone without an MC account can get and launch the game. All normal launchers require at least one legit account to log in and download the game.
You'd need a cheating client with a launcher, which usually allows you to use unauthenticated accounts. As that's pretty weird, they're asking for some other alternative.
Ok, it seems like he's asking how someone can play on the server non-illegally without getting a copy of the game, which just seemed incredibly weird to me because of course that's impossible.
Either you buy a copy or you get a client illegally.
Maybe not, I think. If third party launchers are legal, and one of these supports offline playing, then it can be used for all online-mode=false servers. But this requires one initial login from a legitimate account. This means you have to give your password to whomever wants to join your server.
Third party launchers that do not check for an official account are certainly not legal. Just do piracy, it's completely fine.
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.
