This guide shouldn't be given any sort of mass publicity whatsoever, I'm okay if it's shared in small groups but I'm not at all okay with having this shared on mass.

This is a guide to how you can bypass the block of adding an offline account in PrismLauncher, without a Microsoft account.
- Downnload and install PrismLaunncher by clicking here.
For Linux it's reccomended you use Flathub or your distro's package manager.
-
Download the
accounts.jsonfile from releases. -
Navigate to the PrismLauncher root diresctory according to your OS:
- Windows: Press Win+R and write "%appdata%\PrismLauncher"
- MacOS: Navigate to "~/Library/Application Support/PrismLauncher"
- Linux (Base Package): Navigate to "~/.local/share/PrismLauncher"
- Linux (Flatpak): Navigate to "~/.var/app/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher/data/PrismLauncher"
-
Copy the file
accounts.jsonfile you downloaded and paste it there. -
Now open PrismLauncher and continue the launcher's post setup, and adding an offline account should work.
You may also launch the launcher before then perform the steps but any way is alright.
MAKE SURE YOU ADD A NEW ACCOUNT BEFORE LAUNCHING THE GAME AND DO NOT DELETE THE ACCOUNT NAMED XYZ
Moreover, the account named XYZ shouldn't be used at all, as a usable account, and simply should be kept around with another account being used on its place.
