This issue breaks online access for all legacy versions, which many players and modders still use. The Java 8 workaround helps, but it’s not a long-term fix. Please ensure proper authentication support is restored for older versions.

Please confirm whether this issue remains under active investigation.

The linked ticket WEB-8291 currently returns “Issue not found,” suggesting that it may have been made internal or removed. However, the underlying authentication failure continues to affect all legacy Minecraft: Java Edition versions (1.16.5 and earlier).

Players on these versions are currently unable to join any online servers — and potentially even LAN-hosted worlds — due to TLS or certificate validation errors when connecting to Mojang’s authentication endpoints.

Given the widespread impact across older versions still actively used by many players, could the team please clarify whether this issue is being tracked internally and whether a compatibility fix is planned?

These versions remain important for community projects and historical preservation, so confirmation of ongoing support would be greatly appreciated.
