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.
You can make them have separate singleplayer installations under the same Microsoft account. However, their multiplayer accounts will be the same as it’s tied to an account. Minecraft isn’t the most expensive, so if they all intend to play multiplayer, I’d recommend getting them separate accounts.
If you have one account on the mac and want three different instances, you can use MultiMC. Or just have them make separate worlds which is probably simpler if they’re happy with the same game settings.
