Hmm, piracy is looking better and better by the day

  It's not piracy if you already bought it

      Not without checking the rear view mirror.

  It does look like Java players should start stashing pirated copies of every MC version they like to play...

    That is what I like about using custom launchers. I am using Prism Launcher [1] which keeps all instances (mod packs for me) locally. It includes the MC version, Forge and all mods. If it gets too big for my main partition, I can just archive and move the instance folder to my NAS. I can launch an instance "offline" which doesn't seem to connect or auth with anything. I have never tested though what happens if I do not have a recent-ish auth session. Bonus feature: I do not have to deal with the Curse client.

      I am running prism but I'm not sure that helps if you want to play on a private server (that has disabled auth checks, like I'm sure a bunch of private servers will do if Java dies officially) after the auth servers are shut down. Edit: anyway, you don't have to deal with the curse client if you're comfortable with installing plugins by hand. Or so it was before i switched to Prism, i could download the jars off Curse without their client.

  Minecraft is like the easiest modern online game to pirate. Dedicated servers with offline mode support built in. Easily reversable client (and server) because Java. There's a ton of pirated clients available online.
