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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true). I appreciate the help, and if you’d like to see what I came up with, I shared it [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-discourse-as-an-identity-provider-sso-discourseconnect/32974/127). Some day I might re-visit this once Microsoft accounts are mandatory for all Minecraft users, since there would most definitely be a way to use their APIs to achieve the same feature.
