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 ...

My suggestion is to migrate the server to the Java edition and use one of the projects that support plugins like paper or purpur.

After that install geysermc, floodgate, viaversion, and viabackwards plugins.

https://geysermc.org/download https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaVersion https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaBackwards

This lets people connect to the Java server from bedrock clients and it gives some flexibility in the specific version used to connect to the server.

This way you can use whatever official or questionable version of the Minecraft server client.

Migrating the world might require a special tool like chunker.

Once your on the Java edition client all kinds of options open up for you in terms of plugins and options should you wish.

The geysermc plugin supports extensions as well one I recommend is:

This one let's you add an Xbox friend that you can join from most bedrock clients super easily.
