Would you like to play with Minecraft on your computer but, for any reason, you don't want to log on to Mojang servers? Now you can!! This launcher should keep you up to date with the latest versions of Minecraft automatically, plus it allows you to play with all the previous ones, like 1.7 and 1.12. 🙂
⚠ This Version is Outdated, Please Visit the Page Below ⚠
By using the nifty launcher displayed above you can run regular and modded versions of minecraft without having to log on to Mojang servers with a paid account. This is quite useful if you want to have multiple user names, for example, and will only play in single player mode or multi player on open servers that do not require a realms authentication.
I have been using this alternative method of playing for years and it's very reliable and convenient, specially if you have a server that you maintain and you need to test dummy accounts on it, or if you have multiple people in your house and you don't want to buy a separate account for each person.
⚠ Important! As of today this launcher does not seem to be able to download the latest versions of the game, so you might use THIS ONE instead! ⚠

Hiiiii, I figured out a way of how to use skins if you use texture packs. I have a PC and this is how I do it.
1) Download whatever texture pack you like that is compatible with the version you play.
2) Download a skin that is also compatible with the version you play. *Make sure it is a .png file*
3) Make 2 copies of the skin and rename the 2 skins "alex" and "steve" without the quotations.
4) Copy the 2 skins.
5) Go into the Compressed (zipped) folder of the texture pack. *Do not unzip texture pack.*
6)Follow this path: assets>minecraft>textures>entity
7) Paste the 2 skins inside the "entity" folder. If it asks to replace the files, replace them.
8) Install the texture pack. There are hundreds of Youtube tutorials if you don't know how to do that.
9) Check if it works.
*This essentially turns every Steve and Alex into the skin you wanted which might not be ideal if you play multiplayer. You can always do 2 different skins and name one "steve" and the other "alex". It's all up to you. I've done this with 2 texture packs and it worked both times.*
Yes! That's a brilliant solution, I think I have read about it sometime in the past. Some resource packs will change the skins as well, I think?
Now, to use custom skins without a Mojang account I think you need a mod or something.
Yeah, I think you need a mod otherwise but if you like almost vanilla gameplay and don't want to fuss with mods I think the resource pack solution works pretty well. Also, this past week was the first time I've ever played Minecraft, so I think it's pretty doable for new players like myself.
That sounds awesome! I really wish to see you playing in our server! I have been streaming a few times per week from it.
can i download mods?
Yes! You can see on my videos that I have lots of plugins on my server as well.
hello!! ive got two questions.
1.can u change your skin?? and if so, how? ive been trying to figure it out but i cant seem to lay my hands on it, please help!!
2.im just trying to make sure but, playing with friends is possible, right?
Not with this version, you need a Mojang account and to play on single player or servers that give support to skins (closed ones).
Yes, you can play with friends.
thank you so much!!
