#Microsoft it's a purge, with my girlfriend we spend 2 hours to figure out how to install #Minecraft with a brand new account on #Windows
1. Buy a license key on Instant-gaming: 5 minutes
2. Redeem the license key: 10 minutes
3. Try to install the official launcher 45 minutes : does nothing, stay stuck on "Position 2 in the queue"
4. Try to install the legacy launcher same shit
5. Give up and install the #MultiMc launcher: 5 minutes
6. Try to find the Java 24 JRE : 30 minutes
#Minecraft #MultiMC
Вчера я смог подсадить трёх своих друзей на PollyMC (MultiMC) и на ZeroTier. Почему я рад?

Mitlerweile ist der ganze Mist um #PolyMC (der verbesserten Versionen von #MultiMC )
ja knappe 3 Monate her ...

was jetzt so der Stand?

Hat dieses neue #PrismLauncher Projekt wirklich ne Zukunft?

Oder muss man doch zum unliebsamen "guten alten" MultiMC zurück? 🤔

Mal an die ative #minecraft Community gefragt :D

Inzwischen gibt es schon einen Fork der ehemaligen Mit-Maintainer https://github.com/PlaceholderMC/PlaceholderMC

🚨🚨🚨
Da man nicht weiß was der jetzige und einzige Maintainer von #PolyMC macht, ist das Benutzen von Alternativen wie #MultiMC oder #ATLauncher oder das aktuelle #PlaceholderMC dringend angeraten!
🚨🚨🚨

Im schlimmsten Fall können über das Auto-Update und Metadaten-Download schädlicher Code ausgeführt werden.

Gerade entdeckt das #curseforge ihre alte API abegschaltet hat und somit der alternative #Minecraft Launcher #MultiMc nicht mehr Modpacks installieren kann bis/wenn eine neue API bereit gestellt wird.

Bis dahin ist die offizielle Lösung:
Datenhungrige Software direkt von #Twitch.

Ich bin gar nicht erfreut  ☹️

If anyone else is trying to get on the @ZeCircle modded #Minecraft server and has found that #MultiMC is not working for you, I was able to get the modpack loaded up with #ATLauncher. I had to manually install a few mods, but the launcher automated the process as best it could, and there's a browser extension called FastForward that helps you skip the countdowns on CurseForge. Had the whole pack installed in like 60 seconds.

Kinda lame that there's a bit of fiddling needed, but it's better than installing that Overwolf bloatware with the Curse launcher.
