 Description   

If you are offline with a migrated Minecraft account and you use a command and you type in your player name the screen will say "that player cannot be found" but if you type in you email address it will accept it.

What I expected to happen was:
I could type in my player name and the command would work normally

What actually happened was:
I tried to type in my player name but the command did not work in order to get it to work was I had to type on my email address

Steps to reproduce:
1. Have a Migrated minecraft account
2. play minecraft offline
3. type your player name in a command

You are using a 3rd party launcher which gives the game your login "username" as your username. Thus, the game gets your email. The Mojang minecraft launcher will give you the username player.

Under normal circumstances, playing offline results in "Player" as being one's username, so I fail to completely understand the problem.
