MCL-23973Xbox Game Pass family sharing Confusion
On the Minecraft launcher it says you can play java with Xbox game pass but if you have a family link account you have to buy the game even if it has game pass on it. Why is it like this? It needs to be fixed, even if it is a feature, I think that it should be a bug. PLS FIX because it makes people mad and also it makes you guys lose players.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Microsoft family account.
2. Create a child account.
3. try to play Minecraft in the launcher using member / child account.
Outcome: you can play Minecraft bedrock because of game pass but nothing else.
Expected: you should be able to play Minecraft java, Legends, and Dungeons because their included in gamepass.
