Minecraft.net

Minecraft.net is the official website for Minecraft. It allows users to sign up, play and buy the game, provides links to related community sites (including the Minecraft Wiki) and is also where players can download the Minecraft launcher and server client.

On May 2, 2016, it was given a major redesign to include information about more products.

On December 8, 2016, it was announced on Mojang's 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.

http://session.minecraft.net/game/getversion.jsp?user=&password=&version=12

http://session.minecraft.net/game/joinserver.jsp?user=&sessionId=&serverId=

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 will return "OK" if the given session ID is the last one to have been generated for that username; otherwise it will return a "Bad login" error.
