Some suggestion about reCaptcha in minecraft.net from a China player

Minecraft.net has fully started using reCaptcha. I know it is for prevent bots from do hacks.

I really agree with you(Mojang) in the security reason.

reCaptcha is available to access in most countries except China, because China has banned all Google services since 2014. And reCaptcha is one service of Google, used in many websites.

You can learn more about The China censorship of Google services: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2014_China_censorship_of_Google_services&redirect=no

The China censorship of Google services caused reCaptcha in minecraft.net could not load correctly in China(except using a VPN or proxy). And players live in China could not login or register Mojang account anymore(in minecraft.net) without VPN or proxy.

But now it is hard to find a available VPN or proxy in China.

Recently a China player has found a good solution, you can see it here(written in Chinese): http://www.mcbbs.net/thread-778175-1-1.html

The principle of this solution is: use recaptcha.net/recaptcha instead of www.google.com/recaptcha when loading reCaptcha.

recaptcha.net is the offical address of Google reCaptcha in China, and it's not banned in China.

I suggest you(Mojang) that using recaptcha.net/recaptcha when loading reCaptcha for China player, and China players can login or register Mojang account without anything(such as VPN).

I will thank you(Mojang) if you(Mojang) can really accept my suggestion.

Login Mojang account in minecraft.net without a VPN(you can see that reCaptcha could not load correctly):

Login Mojang account in minecraft.net with a VPN(reCaptcha loaded correctly):

    Its really unfortunate and has a very simple solution to it. I would look Chinese players to be able to access Minecraft.net way all of us do. However, maybe Mojang will not implement this to prevent Chinese players from buying normal Minecraft so as to not to run in trouble with the Chinese Government?

    reCaptcha does not work with firefox either. Should consider transitioning to hCaptcha.

    I have the same problem even though I am I the USA. When I am playing on a VPN like pdanet+ from a Hotspot it works perfectly fine from a wifi router connection but not from a pdanet connection it loads weird and freezes making the game crash. I would like you get this fixed because I play with my friends a lot on minecraft and it limits me from playing minecraft as much as I do now.
