So as an early X-mas present I got my son the Java version yesterday so he could join me on the community Perfectly complex server I play on with some friends. After some digging today I found that we are 10 days past the forced Microsoft account situation and the copy I bought him seems to be unable to launch the technic with the MS account credentials. He is pretty bummed as am I, we enjoy playing together but he's watched me take plastic out of trees to build elevators and of course wants to join in, was excited to buy this version for him. It seems Microsoft will be doing this to everyone in Q1 2021, so is it possible that there will be an official workaround in the relatively near future? Going to try austin's workaround as I have technic all set up on my machine and can login on my account, will let you know if I can get it working. I've got the folder downloaded on his machine and I've found how to make a custom install on the launcher. What folder should the install be pointed to so it will load the mod? I'm not having much luck. I should add I'm trying to load the 1.12.2 Perfectly Complex pack, and am setting the version to 1.12.2. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Likewise, if they don't give access to 3rd party mods is there a plan to make the mods available without the need of a launcher? Love the Perfectly Complex pack, been playing Minecraft since alpha in 2009 and this pack has me discovering new things constantly, really fun. Thanks for any help anyone can give!
