MCL-16349Launcher temporarily is offline after logging in and out of a Mojang account while a Microsoft account is logged in
How did I find this? I don't know.
The bug
Upon logging out and then logging back in of a Mojang account while a Microsoft account is logged in at the same time, the Minecraft Launcher enters offline mode for a few seconds after signing in (around 30 seconds during my tests), until reverting back to online mode.
How to reproduce
- Open the Minecraft Launcher (connected to the Internet)
- Make sure you are signed into a Mojang account and a Microsoft account
- Log out of your Mojang account from the dropdown menu in the top left corner of the screen
- Click Add account -> Mojang Login -> sign into your Mojang account
Notice how the Minecraft Launcher appears in offline mode for a few seconds, before switching to online mode by itself
Additional information
This was not an issue in 2.2.910; this has been introduced in 2.2.1166.
I have set the Environment field to macOS, as I have not tested on a device running Windows yet. I have, however, tested on two different devices running macOS (10.13 and 11.1), and have received the same results.
Yes, the Microsoft account needs to be signed in as well! I could not reproduce the issue when the only account signed in was the Mojang account.
Environment
macOS

The bug
Upon logging out and then logging back in of a Mojang account while a Microsoft account is logged in at the same time, the Minecraft Launcher enters offline mode for an instant after signing in (around 1 second during my tests), until reverting back to online mode.
How to reproduce
- Open the Minecraft Launcher (connected to the Internet)
- Make sure you are signed into a Mojang account and a Microsoft account
- Log out of your Mojang account from the dropdown menu in the top left corner of the screen
- Click Add account -> Mojang Login -> sign into your Mojang account

Additional information
This issue was more noticeable in 2.2.1166. In 2.2.1260, a fix has been implemented. However, as said in Ined's comment on MCL-16349, this fix is not perfect. Previously, the launcher would be offline for about thirty seconds, while now, it's typically only one second (in my tests, at least).
Yes this is a bug. Thanks Mark for letting us know.
On a side note, do you ever play Minecraft or only play with the launcher?
Well, the launcher is quite fun! There are lots of buttons to click on, and lots of bugs to find.
Hmm, honestly, I probably do spend a bit more time looking at the launcher than the game itself. The best explanation I have for that is that the launcher is more of something to mess around with passively, I guess. The game itself requires a lot more attention, and I don't always have enough attention to put into the game.
(But yes, I do find time to play the game for a bit most days. Especially snapshot days
)
Should now be fixed and available to beta users. It's not perfect, and we will improve this further in the future.
Thank you!
