Minecraft.net

Minecraft.net is the official website for the Minecraft franchise. It allows users to sign up, play and buy Minecraft games, provides links to related community sites (including the Minecraft Wiki), and is also where players can download the Minecraft Launcher and server client.
The website is written in Java, Python and C#.
On May 2, 2016, it was given a major redesign to include information about more products.https://web.archive.org/web/20200719020303/https://www.mojang.com/2016/05/minecraftnet-20-has-been-deployed/
On December 8, 2016, it was announced on Mojang Studios' official blog that they would be moving all Minecraft related news to minecraft.net, and continue to update it there, rather than on mojang.com as they had done in the past.https://web.archive.org/web/20201017113702/https://www.mojang.com/2016/12/shouldnt-you-be-on-minecraftnet-right-now/

Developer calls and URLs found on the Minecraft Forum, game files, API, Authentication, and Legacy Authentication:
 http://assets.minecraft.net/<VERSION>/<FILENAME>
Used to download resources for the client and for the server up to version 1.5.2.
 http://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/<VERSION>/<FILENAME>
Used to download resources for the client past version 1.6.2.
----
 http://session.minecraft.net/game/getversion.jsp?user=<USERNAME>&password=<PASSWORD>&version=12
http://login.minecraft.net/?user=<USERNAME>&password=<PASSWORD>&version=12
The Minecraft launcher uses this to authenticate logins. If the username and password are valid for a premium account, returns "<POSIX time>:<hash of password>:<username with correct capitalization>:<newly generated session id>:". If username and password are invalid, returns "Bad login". If the username and password are correct, but the account isn't premium, returns "User not premium". If the given version number is less than 12, returns "Old version". The username is not case-sensitive.
 http://session.minecraft.net/game/joinserver.jsp?user=<USERNAME>&sessionId=<SESSION ID>&serverId=<SERVER ID>
This link seems to be called when a server with online-mode=true checks if it should allow a player to join the game. The session ID is generated by the launcher when logging in (users can also generate them with the "getversion.jsp" link above). This URL returns "OK" if the given session ID is the last one to have been generated for that username; otherwise it returns a "Bad login" error.
 https://sessionserver.mojang.com/blockedservers
This link is called when a user on Minecraft: Java Edition attempts to connect to a server that is in violation of Mojang Studios' End User License Agreement, which returns the following error message on the client: java.net.SocketException: Network is unreachable
