Gifting system for content (was: Give as a gift to friends)

under review

I would like to request a feature. I want to purchase a world or a texture pack and send it as a gift to my friend.

    This is actually a better way to gift than giving minecoins. If there is gifting minecoins hackers will start targeting accounts to resale minecoins, but it is way more trouble to resale skins, maps and texture packs.

    Another idea is setting up a ‘family’ group where everyone in the group can share Minecoins and if someone purchases something everyone else gets it as well.

    It would be great if we get a gifting system in the Marketplace similar to what Epic Games did with their Fortnite cosmetics store.

    I am a parent and assumed this feature already existed in Minecraft when I redeemed Minecraft Coins to my parent/primary account. However, when I bought a world map for my children to play (I have two children with separate accounts each but linked to "Family Sharing") neither child could play in the world?! Since Microsoft owns Mojang and Minecraft and MS has a family sharing feature, digital content in games should share as well! (the same way movies, music, etc. share) As suggested, there should definitely be a gifting feature as well and other games (e.g. Fortnite) already have similar features available. Thanks for considering.

    This would make it easier for us parents of kids who play Minecraft. It would make it so I could sent texture packs to my kids with my in game money.

    This would be way better! My brother really likes minecraft and for his birthday I would like to give him a mod. But there's no way to do that yet......
