Java Family Sharing

Using the family share feature, Minecraft Bedrock Edition can be shared by several users with only one purchase. However, this is not possible with Java Edition, which requires a purchase for each user. It would be nice to be able to purchase one account and share it between family members without additional purchases.

    Is this correct? I have to buy Minecraft Java 6 times so my whole family can play? What a money grab!! I already bought Bedrock three time so I can have it on PC, iPhone and Android, haven't they received enough money from me?

    Disgusting that Microsoft doesn't allow family sharing on this game that is targeted at kids / families.
