Hello :wave: I’m wondering if something I’m trying to do would even be possible. So, I’m wanting to associate Minecraft accounts with Discourse Accounts much like how you can add Discord, Google, etc. but, Minecraft doesn’t have an OAuth system currently (maybe once everyone is migrated to a Micros…

You could maybe use custom user fields for this? Creating and configuring custom user fields A user field could be set to be required on signup, which would accept the randomly generated code. User fields can also be editable in someone’s preferences after signup, if existing accounts need to add t…

The state would …

Since I didn’t need access to the Minecraft UUID from within Discourse itself, I ended up making an external system that integrates with Discourse SSO . I appreciate the help, and if you’d like to see what I came up with, I shared it here . Some day I might re-visit this once Microsoft accounts are ma…
