Yesterday was just fine, I can still play online. But in the morning suddenly the launcher changed to play offline, I tried it and I still can play in multiplayer, but this afternoon, I tried it again after lunch, but I can't play in multiplayer anymore. I don't understand why, I tried doing a tutorial from youtube, I wanted to reinstall Minecraft but before I do that I thought on trying to ask here first rather than waiting to install Minecraft again. Please help, I really want to play Minecraft on Christmas with my cousins, thank you very much, have a nice day.

I'm sorry bot Arisa, I think you are correct. Although I would like for there to be more versions affected, because it affect all the versions, I tried to run the launcher as an administrator but It didn't work, I even allowed it to access private network too, but still didn't work..
Hi turns out it changed into play demo and that I should buy the game again? I already did though, and yesterday with the same account I still able to play it, what is going on..
I tried login in to the minecraft website and it says this..
If you guys stumble this problem, Try to download the launcher from https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download, I choose windows 7 even though I'm in Windows 11, it seems that windows 7 doesn't authenticate your account every single time, therefore your launcher doesn't have failed to login sessions every time you join a server. Meanwhile, the Windows 11 launcher authenticate your account for every step to connect to a server, and that means that your internet needs to authenticate your account every time, which if you have unstable or your wi-fi which sometimes unable to connect to Microsoft Minecraft account authentication, you will get play offline and failed to login session to servers. So here is how I fixed Minecraft's play offline problem. So the problem is actually, my wi-fi is unable to connect with the Minecraft authentication server, so I had to use my mobile data to open the launcher after it finally change to play, go ahead and play in one of the servers first, after you are inside the server, change your connection to your wi-fi, After that it works just fine. You will still see play offline in your launcher but you can still play in multiplayer. If you are logged out of the launcher automatically, try login, If you can't login and there's a message something wrong, try to use your mobile data to login, and enter a server, and do it all over again, I hope it is fixed for you. This usually happens to people that use Minecraft's Microsoft account, because my Mojang account somehow works fine. If you download the launcher from the Microsoft Store or Xbox store, uninstall it, It is really buggy, the launcher takes too long to open, and sometimes Minecraft launcher shows a black screen, if it doesn't work I suggest going to Minecraft support discord (https://discord.com/invite/58Sxm23), it's an official discord don't worry, they help me a lot, if these solutions don't work, try other stuff in youtube, but I still saw a lot of comments that it didn't work.
Thank you for your report!
