One of my kids wants to buy Minecraft Java for the family shared MacMini.

Is it possible for siblings to share it using different local MacOS accounts? Do they need to all share the same MS accounts, or is it possible to share one local install with multiple MS accounts?

Anything else I should be aware of on install? I’ve never played Minecraft so IDK what to ask.

    okay - i can’t quite confirm this, as i am not in front of my home computer right now, but if i am wrong, i am certain someone will correct me.

    • use the admin account on the computer to install the game for all users, that way no matter what account is logged in, they will have access to the game

    • you will need to create a Microsoft account for each kid. best to use your account as the parent account, and have them as users/family members

    • if you have Xbox Live Gold, there’s a good chance the game will be free for you.

    • you should play too! it’s a ridiculously fun game, and there’s so many different ways to play it.

    if i got any details wrong, i apologise. (except for the part where i said you should play too!!!)
