2. Click "Azure Active Directory" (the icon should look like Ramiel from EVA 🤔)
3. Click "App registrations" on the left navigation menu
4. Click "New registration" on top left
5. Give it a name
6. For "Supported account types," select "Personal MS accounts only"
7. For "Redirect URI", select "Web" and type "http://localhost:18275"
8. Now you should be in the overview page of your app!
9. You should see a field "Application (client) ID", copy that somewhere

ClientID: Paste the "Application (client) ID" here
ClientSecret: Paste the "Value" you copied here

2. Login!

You can now run mc-authn to login! After logging in, it will create a text file ~/.config/mc-auth/mc-token.txt containing your minecraft token.

In your start script for minecraft, add the --accessToken argument to the java line used to start minecraft:

mc-authn

export name=$(< ~/.config/mc-auth/mc-name.txt)
export uuid=$(< ~/.config/mc-auth/mc-uuid.txt)
export auth=$(< ~/.config/mc-auth/mc-token.txt)

java ... net.minecraft.client.main.Main ... \
    --accessToken ${auth} \
    --uuid ${uuid} \
    --username ${name}

3. Start Minecraft!

You can now start minecraft!
