For anyone who’s not aware, there are some pretty cool open source Minecraft options. Like Luanti (which is more like a playground for all sorts of FOSS Minecraft variants).
I’m of the opinion that Luanti =/= Minecraft, and can’t provide a similar experience vanilla or modded, but it’s still a useful development tool and sandbox for those who understand its capabilities.
I’ve enjoyed playing Mineclonia on Luanti with my kid. I don’t know how it compares to real Minecraft but it’s been perfectly serviceable for our needs. It even has an Android client.

Luanti is significantly lighter weight than modern versions of Minecraft. It doesn’t need a dedicated GPU and will run on almost anything.
