David. Don't know how to PM on this forum. As you say, it ignores launcher_profiles.json now. I started my LAN server and then, on the server I pulled the ethernet cable out. In the same folder as launcher_profiles.json is the file launcher_accounts.json. I changed "name" to "Dad" in there and started the Launcher. The button then said Start Offline so I did, and that got me in as Dad. Stripped off and emptied my ender chest and saved all my stuff in a big wooden chest, used all my XP combining books at the anvil and bowed out. I guess Dad could live on doing this, but too risky now - the account combination hasn't even happened yet so no doubt more electronic lockdown will occur. Sad times. I buried Dad near his favourite village. Good luck.

I cannot see how this helps. My screen shows this if I check every filter available incuding Modded:
OK Thank you. Close the call. Sorted it myself. Dad is dead. He left me a lot of Protection 4 Mending armour and an ender chest full of heirlooms.
