Hello, I am trying to install Minecraft Bedrock on Arch Linux to play cross-platform multiplayer with my friends. I have heard about the mcpelauncher but that requires to have Minecraft from Play Store, and I already have bought Java and Bedrock for PC. Can I do anything to actually play Minecraft Bedrock on Linux?

Yeah everything installed via the Microsoft store is encrypted and won’t run outside the little sandbox it lives in. Hopefully someday someone figures it out but it looks unlikely anytime soon

Is this why Wine cannot use UWPs?

I once looked at a free UWP and that was just a zip archive, if I recall correctly. Definitely nothing hard to implement.

But the restrictive DRM would need to be cracked.

Correct, its not that it wouldn’t be able to run, the DRM on it is just so restrictive
