Authenticating with a Microsoft account

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Mojang are transitioning to Microsoft authentication and intend to completely switch over to it in the future. I haven’t been able to figure out how to use my new Microsoft account with #createClient().

Describe the solution you’d like It would be great for the package to treat Microsoft and Mojang accounts equal, i.e. supply an email and a password for the username and password ClientOptions

Describe alternatives you’ve considered I’ve attempted to authenticate my Microsoft account with the access- and clientTokens I extracted from my .minecraft/launcher-accounts.json file but I’m not sure what username to supply. I’ve tried using my Microsoft email, my Minecraft username, and my Xbox username (seeing as this one is also saved in launcher-accounts.json I figured it was worth a shot) but none has worked.

As of now, minecraft does not use microsoft accounts and mojang did not provide any technical details on how this will work. So there is nothing to do, it will not work to try anything now. Just wait for microsoft to enable this.
