Question

If I have the game and one account. Do I have to pay for a second account? (2 kids)?

Annika Johnson

Community Answer

Only if your kids plan on playing either on an online server, or with other real people, including themselves. If they plan on playing individually, then no, you do not need to pay for a second account. First ask the kids what their intended gameplay entails.

There are different editions of Minecraft, and you have to pay for them separately, as if they are two entirely different games.
