Accounts
Sign in with one or several Microsoft accounts, or play with offline accounts.
Mistly supports two kinds of accounts. You pick the one to play with in the Account list of the home page.
Microsoft accounts
A Microsoft account that owns Minecraft: Java Edition is needed to join online servers, and to change your skin and capes.
- On the home page, open the Account list and choose Sign in with a Microsoft account (or use the Microsoft account card in Settings).
- A Microsoft sign-in window opens. Sign in as you would on the web.
- Once signed in, the account shows in the list with your skin's head.
You can add several Microsoft accounts and switch between them from the home page or from the settings. Forget this account removes one account without touching the others.
Full sign-out also forgets the account cached on this PC. Use it on a shared computer.
When sign-in fails
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| This Microsoft account has no Xbox profile | Sign in once on minecraft.net to create the profile. |
| Xbox Live is not available in this account's country | The account's country does not allow Xbox Live. |
| This account must first be age-verified on xbox.com | Complete the age verification on xbox.com. |
| This is a child account | An adult must add the account to a Microsoft family. |
| This account does not own Minecraft Java Edition | Buy the game, or sign in with the account that owns it. |
Offline accounts
Offline accounts are usernames you can play with without a Microsoft account. Manage them in the Offline accounts card of Settings: type a username and click Add.
At the first launch, Mistly creates an offline account called Mistly.
Servers that check accounts (most public servers) refuse offline accounts. Offline accounts are meant for single player and for servers that accept them.
Where accounts are stored
- Microsoft accounts:
msa.json - Offline accounts:
listpseudo.txt
Both are in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Misty. See Files and folders.
