Launcher requires online login after a period of time not logged in
If I am not online for a period of time and decide to play MC, I only get access to Demo Mode. I have to go online, reopen launcher, then all is fine (I have access to full game). If I then go offline, close launcher and reopen, I still have access to the full game.
Having this issue only after migration. Would appear launcher forgets after a while.
Is really annoying as I only play single player.

See MCL-19645
I actually found a workaround for MCL-19645 that worked before migrating launchers. Even though it says demo mode, you can just go to the installations tab and click play offline from there. The trouble here is that I can't even get to that screen anymore while offline.

The title of MCL-19645 can mislead you, but the cause and effect is the same. 'Play offline' notification is actual bug - this happens when the Launcher is unable to connect the services - the cause is investigated. Therefore, the 'Play demo' happens when the Xbox App loses Internet connection. The new Launcher is connected to both: Microsoft Store and Xbox App to read all the data, if one loses the Internet connection - the other cannot read your profile data and it appears in the Launcher like you were not logged-in with the account that has Java or any other entitlements.

I am also having this problem. I cannot play offline. I very much doubt this is intended. It didn't use to be like this. Before, you could boot up the game and if it couldn't connect, it would tell you that you could play offline. Now if you aren't online, you can't connect to your MS account so you can't play.
I regret migrating
One more reason to hate Microsoft, it seems.
This happens to me as well, but I do not have a "grace period" between online and offline play. The moment I go offline, I am unable to play Minecraft.
if anyone fixed the problem please tell me what to do because the minecraft support team does not help
I found a possible workaround for this issue, at least for when it happens to me. What I do is I go to the installations tab and click play offline from there and it works fine.
Plankera_Beast1 You're the MVP! Now let's see if they remove that button in the next update. I bet they will. I still think this is intentional. All these new modern games are requiring internet to verify the installation isn't pirated before being allowed to play. ex: GTA 5
Technically they did remove the button when they released the new launcher. I migrated to the new MS store launcher and can't even see the main launcher screen when offline anymore. I even made a report about it
MCL-20113but for some reason they linked it as a duplicate to another barely related report.There's a setting in the Microsoft Store that allows you to store offline credentials for offline play. I believe the XBox app also has such a setting, because I had to set it up to play GTA 5 offline, but that too was forgotten by the game after a day or so, preventing me from playing. Not sure if the new launcher requires both Microsoft and XBox offline permissions to be set, but you may want to give it a shot when you're online again.
When I looked into the XBox forgetting login credentials, I discovered it was done intentionally to prevent pirating. The XBox app requires online access every day or two to verifythe installation. Hence why I suspect this new issue with the launcher is intentional as well.
If this does turn out to be intentional, our only option would be to use a pirated 3rd party launcher, or a pirated copy of the entire game. A game which we paid for already and legally own. Such ridiculousness.
Most of the time, I can't play offline. Very rarely, it lets me, but if I close the game and then open it again, it will only let me play the demo.
It looks like the only option is a cracked version to even play offline and that's ridiculous. I bought the game over a decade ago. I shouldn't have to pirate the game to play it offline
Thanks for letting me know not to upgrade my launcher, sorry about yours. Looks like we're going to have to be more persistent if we want to get this shit solved.
@Drew could you give me some more info on how to access that setting?
I used this guide from the XBox support website. Hope it helps:
https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/game-setup-and-play/play-games-offline-on-windows-10-using-offline-mode
This is major bug and please fix it as soon as possible. I have Minecraft only to play then the internet connection is gone. After upgrading launcher it is not working and it is main functionality for a game !!! Offline gaming is turned on - it wont help.
Yeah the offline setting does not help in this scenario. I tested it just now, still will not let me in. Mojang can't just assume that people have an internet connection to connect to Xbox Live 24/7.
This bug is a major issue for people who have internet connection problem and can only play Minecraft offline. Hope that they fix this issue soon, it has been a big problem for a while, every since the account migration, but I have found that this issue happens even for account that were brought from the Minecraft website with a Microsoft account. Which is very ridiculous.
Hi Phil!
Could you answer few questions regarding this issue, it will help with the investigation:
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
same issue being reported in the slack channel
Hi there!
Please sign in in Xbox app, MS store, and Launcher with the same MS account on the newest version of the Launcher
One more question, are you using MS store Launcher or older version of the Launcher?
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
Using ms account on whatever the latest update on pc is. It was updated recently
still getting play demo
opened minecraft
play demo only option
on the bottom it says oh no something went wrong cannot connect to minecraft services
user -> manage account
logs into https://account.xbox.com/en-us/profile?rtc=1
I see my account. Not sure if it should list the games I have. It doesn't.
It was working fine the day before. This issue was reported by many uses in the Discord channel.
I have been playing on this pc for years, I was forced to migrate my account long ago
This happens to me on linux - there's no MS store, Xbox app, etc. to be involved.
I am using mac, and the same thing occurs. I can't play except the demo version, and when I go to the installations tab and click 'play offline', it opens the demo version anyway. Would really appreciate a fix.
I vote for this issue since I have 2 account with 1 License of Java edition each, 2 Ps4 version, 1 Xbox 360 version, 1 Android Version : All bought before the new launcher was made. I assume that as a good client I deserve to have the Offline mode for my personal computer which existed when I bought the game multiple of time.
@mojang: Please understand that Offline mode was a right when we bought the game, we paid it, we respected our part, could you please make the permanent offline mode feature being available again as it was in the past ? Thank you in advance
To help us try and repro the issue: Do you have any information about how long the period of time is before the online log in is required again?
I am solely able to utilise the demonstrative mode when I reboot without connection to the internet. I have been able to utilise the full game if I have connected to the internet previously without rebooting, but that has been inconsistent. This problem usually affects me whenever I am not able to connect to the internet. I have not signed out and in since I migrated. I migrated via the launcher.
I also have this problem, already submitted an issue before I found this
MCL-22329. For me, it forces me to log in with my Microsoft Account every time I open the launcher. It can't do this if I am offline, causing me to be unable to play the full game (because without my account, it can't verify I own the full game). Also, there is no "Remember Me" option when I log in.Hi there!
Do you have Xbox app, Xbox companion app and Xbox identity provider?
Are you logged in with the same account in all of these?
Please also check dependencies section in Xbox apps 'settings' (If possible).
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
I don't believe I have those apps installed, I just know that when I log in (when connected to internet) it logs me in with my Microsoft/Xbox account, and when I am not online it refuses to remember who I am and won't log me in.
Please then install those apps.
Please also check if you might have or use incompatible software on machine you try to log-in or VPN.
Please also uninstall the Launcher, delete .minecraft folder (copy its content elsewhere before deletion) and then reinstall, restart your computer. Then please try to boot the Launcher.
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
Hello, I was sent from my report to here
I have none of the incompatible software on me, the option of the launcher I did apply, delete the folder, deleted the launcher, even deleted tokens from previous logins but the issue remains
It should be noted that I play through a Linux enviroment so the Xbox apps and such I have no idea if they are a solution to my issue
