Microsoft controls the java licenses (you can only buy it from them). This allows them to check that account x has a valid license as they are also linked to the game account
The bedrock licences are tied to other platforms (Google play, apple appstore, ...) and are not tied to the game account. I can login with any account on bedrock (not like java)
I am prolly woefully out of date, but there was an option in the java server config to allow or disallow cracked clients. Please let me know if I am out of date so I can forget this info
You can still allow cracked clients. The downsides are that, because minecraft doesnt verify the accounts, if you set your name to someone with op, you get op and you need a plugin to be able to have a skin that is not default
Ok, so basically as it was. I had worldguard and worldedit and many more I no longer remember hehe
On the cracked severs I used to play, they used to have a plugin that would make users register a password when they first visited and type it on all subsequent logins, to protect users' accounts.
