Glossary

Patching in memory: When Minecraft is running, the RAM Manipulator [if using one] edits code (instructions) within the game process and other modules (i.e. dlls). Thus, it is temporary method and needs to be done every time the game is started.

Difference between I-MCM and DMM: In the I-MCM method, the game exe (Minecraft.Windows.exe) is patched in memory, whereas in the DMM method, the store DLLs containing the license checking code are patched within memory.

Methods:

  • I-MCM - In-Memory Code Manipulation: Patches the license checking code within the game exe (Minecraft.Windows.exe) directly in memory.
  • DMM - DLL Memory Manipulation: Patches the license checking code within the Windows.ApplicationModel.Store.dll module loaded within the game in memory.
  • ClipSVC Method: [Patched] Check at Learn -->
  • DLL Hooking: Uses function hooking to modify the license checking functions within the game and/or other DLLs loaded within the game in memory.
  • DLL Replacing: Replaces the Windows.ApplicationModel.Store.dll DLL's with patched (i.e cracked) ones.
  • DLL Auto Patch: Creates a Cracked DLL from original Windows.ApplicationModel.Store.dll and replaces the original one with cracked one.
  • DRC - DLL Redirection for Cracking: Also known as DLL hijacking, this method takes advantage of the DLL search order to cause the game to load a patched (i.e. cracked) dll instead of the dll present within the system directories (System32 and SysWOW64). This method does not require editing the dlls in the system directories.
  • BlueSky Mode - Same as DLL Replacing
