 Description   

If you host a LAN server and aren't verified/connected to the internet the host gets kicked saying "logged in from another location"

What I expected to happen was...:
I could play LAN without internet

What actually happened was...:
I got kicked

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Disconnect internet/dont be verified
2.Go into singleplayer
3.Start a LAN server
4.Have someone else join(who also isnt verified)

Perhaps they should get named player(2) player(3) and so on?
But that would mean they dont have the right inventory

Duplicate of MC-979.

Ah Starcraft... Why not have "Lan" game profiles?

Comment by Aden McKinley [ 08/Nov/12 ]

Yes but @tyler and i mean just an offline name without the ability to log into multiplayer servers (wold also work if the lan host would sort them)

Comment by Franco Pellegrini [ 08/Nov/12 ]

the problem is the "piracy". If you allow that, you can play the game with others without cracking/buying the game

Comment by Tyler Georgiadis [ 06/Nov/12 ]

But I agree to the fact that Mojang should create a 'more than one player' system where other "Players" can log in as Player1, Player2 and so on. UNLESS they make an offline name feature. That would be cool.

@Tyler You are correct - this is not a bug - just the username "Player" logging in twice.

some launchers like "Magic launcher" make your username show up offline - Nodus also works but it is a hacked client

What I like to do when I don't have internet connection is grab an offline cracked launcher. You're getting kicked because there is more than one "Player".
