Use MInetest instead. It's a similar game built, from the ground up, with the idea that the main game should only be the base code, and the visual goodies and effects are extensions.
I gave up minecraft except for my old personal 1.6.4 server that we cracked years ago when it became obvious Microsoft was going to get heavy-handed.
I dont play many video games anymore. It's a shame a bunch if world's will probably be deleted or left abandoned from this though
I suspect a lot of accounts have been abandoned already due to the fact that you have to migrate your old mojang account over to a Microsoft XBOX account and profile in order to continue playing. Microsoft wants a lot of information to do that.
I just went through my historical email records and found the transaction IDs for my accounts, and asked for them to be deleted.
