MultiMC
NOTE
Nixpkgs currently packages PrismLauncher, a fork of MultiMC, which currently does not require you, but does allow you, to obtain your own client ID. This information is provided mainly for historical interest.
Using a Microsoft account
Microsoft authentication requires a client ID, which the package in Nixpkgs does not currently contain.
The MultiMC source contains instructions to create one:
- Register an app, following the instructions at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/quickstart-register-app (make sure that you've set up a tenant as mentioned in the prerequisites)
- Restrict it to personal accounts
- Do *not* add a redirect URI, platform, credentials, certificates, or client secrets
- Enable public client flows
- Enable Live SDK support (under authentication)
You can then override the MultiMC package to include your client ID:
(multimc.override { msaClientID = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"; })
If you use home-manager, you can use the following snippet in your home-manager config:
nixpkgs.overlays = [ (self: super: {
multimc = super.multimc.override {
msaClientID = "<your application id>";
};
}
) ];
