Yep. This wasn't intended, and I have said in private chats to the Android developers that this needs to be changed as we have already come across legal issues with Microsoft for this exact issue.

I don't know how to develop for the Android platform (as my area is mostly iOS), so I don't know how to reimplement local mode. But I'll keep bugging the others about it.

local accounts can only play singleplayer

local accounts can play multiplayer if the server is set to offline mode, (online-mode false)

This issue has been resolved with the merging of #5560.

You cant ad for the pojavlauncher to change your skin?

that would result in the need of pojavlauncher accessing your microsoft account entirely, you wouldn't want that do you?
