Is there a way to open Minecraft without using the launcher? My launcher is taking a long time to open and I do not want to wait so long before I can actually play the game.

    Note the launcher is responsible for logging you into your account. You won't be able to log into any servers if you skip that step.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but MultiMC is an open-source alternative to the normal Minecraft launcher. I've been using it for about a year and it works very nicely.

MultiMC has many additional config options & features over the normal Minecraft launcher, most notably the ability to run multiple versions of Minecraft with seperate .minecraft instances.

  • This says "acquisition of profile failed" when I enter my Mojang username and password. Is it because it's trying to log me in, but is failing because I have no Microsoft account? If so, then this answer does not work to avoid having to get a Microsoft account. I want to play Minecraft, a single player game I paid for, but I don't want a Microsoft account, which was not required when I bought it.

  • @felwithe Avoiding the use of a Microsoft account was not the question and is not possible. Things change. If you don't migrate to a Microsoft account now, you will lose your license.
