This means that you can't run the newer versions (haven't tried it, but after a bit of searching I can find complains from version 1.14.4).

The «--demo» option is for servers. To handle the newer versions we have games/multimc for a more feature-rich launcher or you can tinker with games/py-minecraft-launcher-lib (kmos@ has scripts for different versions here: https://github.com/kmosiejczuk/minecraft-launchers). But no, neither currently handles Microsoft accounts. I believe multimc plans that for their 0.7 release. -pamela Pamela, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I will patiently await the MultiMC release that support Microsoft accounts. Cheers, Mark
