So title, joining premium or even java servers with geysermc from cracked bedrock will work, but why? If you can’t join with cracled java why can you with cracked bedrock?

    Microsoft controls the java licenses (you can only buy it from them). This allows them to check that account x has a valid license as they are also linked to the game account

    The bedrock licences are tied to other platforms (Google play, apple appstore, …) and are not tied to the game account. I can login with any account on bedrock (not like java)

      I am prolly woefully out of date, but there was an option in the java server config to allow or disallow cracked clients. Please let me know if I am out of date so I can forget this info

        There’s an option to allow it to run offline and that will allow it to work with cracked clients. There’s no user authentication, so only make the server accessible to people you trust over a VPN.

        You can still allow cracked clients. The downsides are that, because minecraft doesnt verify the accounts, if you set your name to someone with op, you get op and you need a plugin to be able to have a skin that is not default

          On the cracked severs I used to play, they used to have a plugin that would make users register a password when they first visited and type it on all subsequent logins, to protect users’ accounts.
