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?

Is this why Wine cannot use UWPs?

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

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.
