  You normally have to buy minecraft first. There are cracked clients but those wont work with normal servers. I think there is a way to allow them in server settings but it means player skins wont be loaded and everyone would have the same skin. Idk if there are any other differences.

    Wouldn’t it be more in the spirit of this community to use a free and open source alternative to Minecraft like Classicube?

    github.com/ClassiCube/ClassiCube

    I discovered this one recently. As the name implies, it’s a reverse-engineered clone of early versions of the game. It has extremely low hardware requirements, which allow the client to run on virtually anything.

    Here’s a list of supported server software:

    www.classicube.net/server/host/

    If you use MCGalaxy, then players will even be able to join your servers through their web browser.

      Awesome a will have a look into it. I chose minehut so I didnt have to host the server on my pc. I will check out the server software as well since classicube looks interesting.

        As I said in the other comment, another option is the open source Luanti (formerly MineTest). It is a base “engine” for which you can install different community made games. There are games that attempt to copy Minecraft as completely as possible (with survival mode etc.): content.luanti.org/packages/?type=game

        Voxelibre and mineclonia seem promising.

      There’s also minetest I believe, which is an open source Minecraft clone, but without compatibility with the actual game.
