My internet searches lead me to believe it’s possible to get the Minecraft “bedrock edition” running on Linux. Any pros here have any tips/tricks before I tell my kids that I’m a genius and it can be done? They want to play with their friends who game on consoles/mobile devices. Also, why does minecraft seem so odd with editions and launchers?!
The launcher itself requires you to login with your Google account, where you own the game in the Play Store. Once the game is open, then you can login with your Microsoft account. I never had any problems logging in.
