I can grasp most concepts well, though Minecraft still poses a challenge. We’re at a stage where my child wants to play, and I’m concerned about online safety and security. I need to configure systems that are solid for Minecraft. I have a home lab in Truenas where I can run mineOS. My main question is whether I must purchase a license for each computer or if one license covers all of them. I understand the only real issue is accessing the MS server, but I’d prefer everything to stay local. Is this feasible, or should I go ahead and buy multiple licenses?
I’d also be interested in playing with him on another machine. Or perhaps he has someone visiting, which would avoid sharing a system. That would help clarify things.
I think each player needs one account (license). If you're concerned about the online experience, you can block internet access and either set up a local multiplayer server or use a hosted service like Realm that’s limited to your kids and friends. Microsoft offers robust parental controls for Minecraft. https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/arti...1506781325
You'd purchase it twice to maintain two accounts on one server, and I believe the hosting service is free.
Sure, it's true. While there are many window store games you can play on a PC, Minecraft needs you to log in inside the game, making it impossible to share without proper access.
