This following technique requires using MultiMC5 (an alternative Minecrft launcher) which use IPv6 by default for authenticating with the Mojang auth servers because the official Minecraft launcher just doesn't lookup for AAAA records when launching it.

Thanks to AWS CloudFront you can force Minecraft and MultiMC5 to use IPv6 servers by adding those entries into your hosts file:

2600:9000:2012:: account.mojang.com
2600:9000:2012:: authserver.mojang.com
2600:9000:2012:: api.mojang.com
2600:9000:2012:: sessionserver.mojang.com
2600:9000:2012:: skins.minecraft.net
2600:9000:2012:: textures.minecraft.net

The IPv6 address 2600:9000:2012:: is an IPv6 address from the range of Amazon Web services and not a random subnet. You may check that by typing the address into your favorite search engine.

I hope this help Minecraft players behind NAT64/IPv6 only networks.
