Hello so i just bought minecraft and got my account (everything works just fine) but my little brother suddenly wants to play minecraft as well and my mother doesn't want to pay another 20 bucks for the same game we have 2 computers on our home (both desk ones) so i was wondering if there's any way for him to play with my same account but on his computer (he plays all the time in single player i'm more of a multiplayer boy) so i was wondering if there's any way for him to play in single player while i play in multiplayer in the same account (i think we both have the same ip since we use the same modem because when my bro got into the minecraft page the "download" option was already available) i hope you guys understand what i mean lol my english is not as good as i wish
thanks in advance for your answers.
(i just find it dumb to pay twice if we live in the same home and i don't want him to mess my sp saves)
As long as he logs in first, you should both be able to play (if he logs in after you, you won't be able to play on servers because of the way session tokens work).
The download button is there for everyone, because you can't download the actual game files without logging into the launcher.
It is better to support the developers and buy an account for each user, though (then everyone can play multiplayer and have their own username and skin).
I understand what you mean, but he's only 7 years old so i don't think he's going to really use it as much as i do (i think he'll get bored soon so it's a waste to buy it to him until he's 9 or 10 at least) my mom told him that also thanks for the quick answer, i tried to disconnect my brother's pc from the modem and make him play offline but when i try to log in it says that the connection server and the account servers are down in my magic launcher i think it's my game or i don't know if it's minecraft
thanks in advance for your answers.
