Question Will I be able to play Minecraft offline using the newest launcher? Community Answer I think that this is no longer possible, at least for me it is not. It seems as if you are required to at least verify with minecraft.net that you own a copy before the game is playable, so once you verify, you can launch the game and then play offline.

To minimize security threats as best as possible, re-enable online mode as soon as you’ve finished your Minecraft gaming session.[4] Thanks! Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

Knowledgebase Portal Home Knowledgebase Managing Your Server Disable Online Mode for Your Minecraft Server (Allow Cracked Clients to Join)
We have a video tutorial for enabling offline mode for your server:
Online mode is a server setting that configures whether or not players authenticate through Mojang’s servers before connecting to your server. This authentication process verifies they are logged in and lets players access their profile skins.
Some server types dont work when a server has online mode enabled. For example, BungeeCord does not work when online mode is enabled. Players using cracked clients are also unable to join a server that has online mode enabled. If you want to use BungeeCord or want to allow your players to use cracked clients, you will need to disable online mode.
There are a couple of things you should be aware of if you plan on disabling online mode:
Disabling online mode means that players will not be authenticated by Mojang’s servers before they connect to your server. This means that anyone could log in to your server using any username they choose and your server wouldnt verify they are who they say they are. If you are using a BungeeCord server, a plugin such as IPWhitelist will help mitigate risks. For Minecraft servers, a plugin like FastLogin would help, while modded servers could use a mod such as Simple Login.
Your players will not have their profile skins and you will see everyone with Steve or Alex skins. Again, this is because your server is not contacting Mojang’s authentication servers. You can use a plugin like SkinRestorer to restore profile skins in your server if desired.
If, after taking the above points into consideration, you still wish to disable online mode for your server, you may follow the steps below:
Stop your server. This is an important step that must be completed before making any changes to your server.
On your control panel, navigate to Files > Config Files.
On the Config Files page, select Server Settings.
Locate the option called Online Mode and select Disabled from the drop-down menu.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save.
Restart your Minecraft server.
Thats it! Your server should be running in offline mode/have online mode disabled once this has been successfully restarted.
