I have a question. I bought with Minecraft in the Microsoftstore. But I want to play with a friend of mine who has an iMac. Is that possible somehow?
Yes, it is. It doesn't matter which provider you buy it from, as long as you both have the same Minecraft version (preferably Java)
You could play via a console (Xbox) or a mobile phone, otherwise via the iMac this would only be possible with a VM running Win 10 or simply install Windows 10 as a permanent installation, that should work.
But when I look for her as a friend, she doesn't exist. And Minecraft looks very different with her
What is a VM 🥲
However, the Microsoft Edition is not the Java Edition, the Microsoft Edition can't be used with Java.
A virtual machine. This is a virtual operating system that runs on your computer, but you have to install it first. It's like a sandbox of sorts. If you have a virus in a VM, it will not affect your main operating system.
Did you buy another version (Microsoft / Bedrock)?
You can set up a server with the plugin https://geysermc.org/ and you can use it to join both editions.
That is possible.
But you had to accept a few difficulties (because of the two different Mc Editions; you have the Bedrock Edition and your friend the Java Edition).
If you still want to play together, I'll be happy to explain how to do it
