I was able to figure out a way around it... kinda. You need to have a friend (or another MC account that can login to Technic) download the modpack you want to play. Then copy the modpacks install dir from their system to your system (just instead of using the .technic folder, just use the .minecraft folder). Then from the regular MC launcher you can create a new version using that directory as its install location. Depending on the modpack you'll also have to create a Forge version of vanilla MC and use that version as the version to create the modpack. It's kinda hard to explain but once you have all the pieces I was able to get everything setup on my friends system pretty quickly.

So by the off chance of bad timing, a friend of mine bought Minecraft Java edition a few days ago. The problem is, starting on December 1, 2020. When you purchase Minecraft, you must purchase it through Microsoft, with a Microsoft account. At no point do you create a Minecraft.net or Mojang account. The problem appears when trying to use Technic. Technic specifically asks for a Mojang or Minecraft.net account. You can no longer create a Minecraft.net or Mojang account at all. Any attempts to do so (using the published methods) will lead you to creating a Microsoft account. Are there any plans on the Technic development roadmap to natively support Microsoft account logins? Or any sort of work around my friend could use today to let him use the Technic launcher? Any suggestions would help. Thanks, Austin Also I'm very new to the forum so if I've posted this in the wrong location please kindly let me know and I'll move elsewhere
