    You can disable online mode (weird name but i think still called this) and anyone with minecraft jar can join, no matter if microsoft account or not.

    But can also choose username, so can bypass blacklist.

    This what happen if play through launcher that allow piracy like prism or fjord.

      I think I recall getting around this by hard-configuring the allowed players list?

      I never felt the need to work hard to disconnect from Minecraft’s auth servers - but I think I remember doing some command line foo once when the Minecraft auth servers were down for a day, in order to let current players keep playing.

      Anyway, all that to say, I think are ways to work around that. It’s not ideal, but probably manageable.

      Disclaimer: I host Luanti now, instead, so I don’t remember all of my Minecraft-foo.
