How to get your Minecraft bearer token

What is a Minecraft bearer token?

A bearer token is a long string of letters and numbers used to authenticate your account with their private API.

NOTE: Bearer tokens only last 24 hours.

Get your bearer token

• Sign in to your Minecraft account at minecraft.net
• Open the Chrome / Firefox developer tools (ctrl + shift + i or f12) or right click and click inspect element
• Go to the "console" tab
• Paste this code into the console:
  console.log(`; ${document.cookie}`.split('; bearer_token=').pop().split(';').shift())

  content_copy
  Or, alternatively, drag this text to your browser's URL shortcuts bar, and click it.
• Copy the bearer token that it shows in the console

You now have your minecraft account's bearer token.

IMPORTANT: if you give someone this token they basically have full control of your Minecraft account. They could even change the password.
