Are Alts Safe?

[Cookie Kat]

Recently been thinking about alts, and I was wondering, what in the world is a cracked alt? I'm aware that there are "free versions" of Minecraft out there, and definitely "free" Minecraft accounts... but is this even safe, or legal? I know that alt selling is most likely illegal because it's basically selling accounts for a game that doesn't even belong to you. I understand that a lot of people want a cheap way to have an extra account, and they're especially useful for a server like Manacube that is a lot of afking and grinding. But, how safe are these alts? It's to my understanding that the most secure and safe way to get another account is by buying another account off the Minecraft website, but that's paying the full price. Please let me know what your thoughts on alts are, and maybe answer what a cracked alt is? (Tried doing research didn't get a lot of answers)...

Hey there!


I don’t exactly know how there are so many of these alts to be honest. Iknow that I have bought about 5000 alts already. They are super cheap at different websites. Usually around €3 per 150 alts. They are Non full acces which means that you can not change anything about the account. These cracked accounts are illegal accounts that will get deleted after a few weeks, sometimes months.

I have never had any problems with running these ‘cracked alts’. They are safe and well. I’m currently still using those alts.

- Regards

Well I used to run an alt shop and I used a cracker and I would insert combos that I bought off a guy and I used a program to check them and from their I'd sell the alts. It just depends on what alts they are though. MFA are mail full access which basically means we get access to the email and from their you can get the TID and those are the most valuable alts. To answer your question though yes, it is illegal depending on the method, but nothing's gonna happen to you if you use them/crack them most likely.

I guess I'm more worried about getting in trouble for using alts, though it seems that it's highly unlikely. Then again, if my parents knew it was illegal and found me using these "illegal accounts" they would give me a long lecture about why I shouldn't be doing that.

hey,

from my personal experience with alts (both full access, and non full access) the “safety” of it really depends. there’s alts you can buy for super cheap (a friend of mine bought like 20 for $5 USD. i bought my alt for $15 CAD (my alt is full access and i own the email, passwords, etc etc.)

cracked/ non full access alts are much cheaper than full access alts, but they run the risk of being taken or hacked into (because a lot of the information is public, where as full access are private emails and information.) one of my friends once bought some alts for factions, left them to afk, and came back to find they had been hacked and he no longer had access to them.

i personally don’t see an issue with either, i know people who buy NFA or Cracked alts and haven’t ever had an issue. it’s kind of just personal preference.

hope this answered a question or two,
abbie

I guess if you don't get an alt from a sketchy as hell website, you'll be fine

Free cracked alts are perfectly safe but pretty useless since they're usually banned on most servers.
Cheap, bundled cracked alts are hit and miss - it depends on where you buy them. Alt websites like TheAltening and MCLeaks are pretty reputable but obviously giving some random German YouTube video your private info isn't a good idea.
Cheaper premium accounts are almost always a scam.

As with anything that you buy online, especially something sensitive like your Minecraft account or your credit card, be careful and always think twice.

Thanks for the advice, all of you! It's been a big help. I don't think I'll ever try to buy an alt from another website other than the Minecraft website tbh. Then I know that it's definitely safe, and u know... I haven't been hacked once on my current MC account and I've had it since 2017.

Howdy Howdy!

I see others have already given great input, but as always I'm here to throw my 2 cents in as well. When it comes to alt accounts- this is how many players are able to run their extremely large farms/grinders on servers like Skyblock, Olympus, survival, and factions! A lot of these large farms take upwards of 5-50 alts to fully afk depending on the size.

This is why many players use the cheaper alts that are not full access, and sometimes not even semi-full access have seen accounts as cheap as $1 for 100, and heard of others spending $3 for 500 accounts. A lot of these accounts often get "taken back" randomly as there is no guarantee you will have access to them forever. With this being said you can find more secure accounts that you can change the password, skin, and sometimes the username of for a little bit of a higher price. The cheapest I've personally heard for this is about $5ish each which is why players do not often go for these as that amount quickly adds up.

As others have stated I've never heard of someone having issues with account or credit card information getting stolen from these websites. Of course, it is always a possibility. Be careful when purchasing anything on the internet.

If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to let me know,

best, kayla

Honestly, I only thought of this whole idea of alts being safe after asking in the discord if buying alts with cubits was allowed. Apparently, it is allowed but not encouraged by the staff because it's hard to moderate and doesn't fall under scamming if someone doesn't pay up on their end.

I just found this interesting because in theory, a person could try to make a lot of money off of alts, though I don't see how it would be much different than alt websites selling alts.

It is safe but not legal. Those accounts can only access certain servers tho but you can use easymc to access mana
