    Here is how to do the same thing on Windows and Linux for those interested.

    Windows

    “canPlayMinecraft”: true,“ownsMinecraft”: true},“type”: “Offline”}],“formatVersion”: 3} > %appdata%/PrismLauncher/accounts.json

    Linux

    echo ‘{“accounts”: [{“entitlement”: {“canPlayMinecraft”: true,“ownsMinecraft”: true},“type”: “Offline”}],“formatVersion”: 3}’ > ~/.local/share/PrismLauncher/accounts.json

    Flatpak

    echo ‘{“accounts”: [{“entitlement”: {“canPlayMinecraft”: true,“ownsMinecraft”: true},“type”: “Offline”}],“formatVersion”: 3}’ > ~/.var/app/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher/data/PrismLauncher/accounts.json

    It’s also possible to download the accounts.json file and transfer it into the directory. By the looks of it on MacOS the directory is $HOME/Library/Application Support/PrismLauncher/.

    Edit: If you are using the portable Windows version you can place the accounts.json file in the root directory of the install.

        Do you mean the accounts.json file that contains the following?

        {“accounts”: [{“entitlement”: {“canPlayMinecraft”: true,“ownsMinecraft”: true},“type”: “Offline”}],“formatVersion”: 3}

        If so, I used it a couple days ago with a portable Windows setup of Prism Launcher and it worked fine for me.

          I have tried many times to use it and it didn’t work either on windows or on linux, indeed the one I have on github changed 2 times from the one you currently are commenting
