  Hi, ended up using your suggestion, super smooth and easy.

    Hijacking: With the above solution, it’s also super easy to install modpacks and I would recommend Modrinth as both the modded Minecraft launcher and mod-shareplace.

    Went the same route last year and had no issues.

    Just FYI bedrock will only work if the kids are on tablets.

      Why does bedrock only work on tablets?

        That’s how Microsoft designed it. The tablet and console versions are bedrock, the PC is Java. But others here have said there are modded server versions or plugins that let bedrock players play on Java servers.

      Bedrock is on all platforms, pc included. Java is PC only.

  On windows, how do you install Minecraft? I got into a loop of fucking MS bullshit that want me to pay $$€ just for installing it and it feels… scammy…

  Well, it’s Microsoft after all… But I cannot believe now Minecraft is pay to run…

    Hosting the server is free. I’m actually not sure about windows because I don’t use that. We actually play on our iPads. We have a family set up. Pay once for the app, everybody gets to install it on their own device.

    For free stuff I think people run Java edition? Again, I’ve never done that. There is an itzg Java server container github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server
