Session ID is shown as "<censored>" in launcher but correctly written into log file

The bug

When you start Minecraft the Game Output of the launcher does not print the session ID anymore but instead "censored".

[Client thread/INFO]: (Session ID is <censored>)

As there is no way to disable censoring I do not see any reason why this line is printed at all.

In the log file the id is printed

The launcher censors the session ID to avoid it being stolen. If you really want to see it, you can get it from the game logs (won't work after 1.9.1) or calculate it yourself (by far the best solution).

As for why it's printed at all - it's printed by the game. The launcher censors it from the launchers view of the log, but we can't retroactively modify old or current versions of the game. It will be removed in the next release.

Thank you for the quick response, will this line be removed from the launcher completely?

I edited my message but you were too quick for me! Yes, it will be removed in the next release of the game.

How do you calculate the Session ID?

Will the Session ID continue to be correctly written in the log file?

No, as of 1.9.1-pre3 the session ID is no longer written to the log file.

Is it intended for the session ID to be printed into the log file though? @Bren Rado told me about this, because I'm still on 1.9

My launcher said censored and i fixed it up with out waiting for a new version or changing version. I backed up my worlds deleted my .minecraft folder and went back into minecraft the console didn't say Session ID <censored> and everything is alright just have to replqace my saves and its all working hoped it help

Help Finding the issue
i was play in my testing world with the structure block into i looked on the wiki and told me it was useless for normal minecraft users like me and only used for developers so i tried breaking it but my hand didn't move and the block was still there(in creative btw) so i made sure i was in creative by typing /gamemode 1 it said it changed my gamemode except the block broke and i could do anything else without typing that command then i tried restarting minecraft and i looked at the console because i always have the launcher open and at the top it said Session id censored i did what i did in the first paragraph and its all good now
