    Why does the Minecraft launcher need wifi???


    So I was playing overwatch and then poof my wifi goes out and I was like aaaa there was maintenance on the wifi today so I was like whatever I’ll play Minecraft while I wait. I open the launcher and see that I’m logged out I click on my account but ofc you need wifi to be logged in with Xbox/Microsoft so I can’t log in. And it’s not like I was logged out because I hadn’t played in a long time I literally closed it right before opening overwatch. So why does the launcher need wifi when single player is a thing and offline mode has been an available in Minecraft, so why take it away??

    :)

    Minecraft Apple TV Edition freezes or crashes on startup screens (Apple TV 4K)

    So for now, I know Minecraft works with the WIFI of my iPhone, but I do not know why it does not work on my home WiFi.
    Same thing for me : Minecraft works with wifi on iPhone, not via home wifi. I can't find why!

    Get your act together.

    why use the launcher, i use minecraft direct without the launcher, you have the option to install minecraft with or without launcher in the xbox app.

    Minecraft Apple TV Edition freezes or crashes on startup screens (Apple TV 4K)

    Same issue for me.

    A few precisions : My Apple TV is normally connected to the internet by WIFI at home. I noticed that if I generate a WIFI via my Iphone, Minecraft works perfectly. I then turned off the firewall of my home WIFI to see if it was blocking
    Minecraft, but without success ...

    So for now, I know Minecraft works with the WIFI of my iPhone, but I do not know why it does not work on my home WiFi.

    Any idea?
