Only Technic Solder packs have this ability, and a surprisingly little amount of packs are Solder packs. That being said, often not even the Technic launcher can offer this.

The mojang check job will always repeat, no matter what you're currently doing. It's called periodically for those service status things at the bottom right of the window.

It looks as if LWJGL 3.3.0 or 3.2.3 fixed this issue. Minecraft still uses 3.2.2.

Though, as you can see here: https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl3/blob/6da65e3c2aca8654ef6fdb0d0520994b43ea90d2/modules/lwjgl/core/src/generated/java/org/lwjgl/system/linux/DynamicLinkLoader.java#L102 dlerror _still_ uses the wrong encoding.
