Minecraft on windows? (downonthestreet.eu)

I host a minecraft bedrock server user by the family to play, from ps4 and android.

Adding a windows client, do i need to pay again to play? I mean, the price of the windows Minecraft client is... Unbeliable. And we already purchased the android client and the ps4 client...

I tried to look around for a cracked windows client but with no luck.

Is it possible? Anybody running a cracked Minecraft client on windows? No need for online play except connect to our self hosted server ...

So this is where minecraft having 2 pc versions (java and bedrock) gets complex.

It is very easy to find a custom or cracked launcher for java minecraft, and play it without also having to purchase minecraft on PC. You just have to source the game files for the version(i.e. 1.21) you want and play it with a cracked launcher.

When it comes to multiplayer... Java edition can operate its own server on Lan or the internet, and you can also setup a dedicated server on another machine that will let you and your friends play. This will work with purchased or cracked versions of mc java, assuming the game and server game version numbers match.

The whole reason Mojang/Microsoft made Bedrock was to allow them control over the community, and to make money. This means they charge for skins, resource packs and servers(now known as Realms). As far as i know, you cannot hose a Realm for free or with a crack.

There are programs that can convert bedrock saves to java saves, and vice versa... But the last time i used one it didnt work well.

The best option is to start a Java server, and use mods that allow bedrock players to join. That can be a pain too if they are on console.

This is why there is alot of disdain for the Bedrock version of mc...
