I run my own Minecraft Classic server and I was wondering if it is possible to play it without logging on to minecraft.net. Minecraft is down all the time (including now) so I was wondering if there was a way for me to set up the server specially and download a client to play it.

Thanks

Yes. If you change online-mode to false in server.properties, you can still play on that server while minecraft.net is down, since it doesn't try to check your username against the database. A word of advice, this will open you up to major griefing and it only allows one person to log in at a time.

  • Thanks for that, yeah I understood that could happen. For the time being I have the online-mode to false and am accessing it via a direct link at minecraft.net/…. Thanks for the great answer.
