[DEPRECATED] Minecraft login script for Python 3. Use as you wish as long as you give me credit.

minecraft_login.py

import http.client, urllib.parse, getpass
username = input("Username: ")
password = getpass.getpass(prompt='Password: ', stream=None)
params = urllib.parse.urlencode({'user': username, 'password': password, 'version': 12})
headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"}
conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("login.minecraft.net")
conn.request("POST", "", params, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
print(response.status, response.reason)
data = response.read()
data = data.decode("utf-8").split(':')
print("Current minecraft version: " + data[0])
print("Minecraft username: " + data[2])
print("Session ID: " + data[3])
print("UID: " + data[4])
conn.close()

Can you make this work and also post it with a fixed indentation?

@shai The login protocol has changed since I posted this script 7 years ago. Try taking a look at https://wiki.vg/Authentication and the other pages on that wiki

@jenrik yea I thought so, and thought you might want to update the code :)

I abandoned this scripts years ago, and I have no intention of updating it. If anybody needs a script to login to Minecraft you should read https://wiki.vg/Authentication and do your own implementation instead of trying to fix this crappy script.
