@nucleative If one of those copies you own is on the Microsoft Store for Windows 10/11, you should already own the Java edition as well, courtesy of Microsoft themselves. Just open the official launcher (or a custom, community launcher like MultiMC, Modrinth App or Prism Launcher) and select the version you wanna play

@Nemoder Cracking the games doesn't do shit in this matter. It'd block the online functions of the game if they depend on anything else, or on license checking (one simple example, Steam/Epic based servers)

To put an example of this, you can pirate Baldur's Gate 3 and still log in with a Larian account, connect the Twitch integration and even setup a multiplayer campaign like it's nothing.

There are Unity related DLLs that take the role of the telemetry, and thus, don't care about cracks (in fact, Unity have said that the developer should contact them to avoid getting charged by piracy, meaning that those DO count)

@mossy_capivara @uuhhhhmmmm Yeah, I don't think those games and the developers behind them are at fault for Unity's bullshit.

Just block Unity's telemetry call by redirecting the URLs to 127.0.0.1 on your hosts file and done
