There's actually a classmate who has never played Minecraft. So he does not have to pay Minecraft, I thought I could put the Minecraft installer on a USB stick, and then give it to him. Then he has to create a Mojang account, and then he got Minecraft super easy and especially free. I do not know if that works…
Would it work, or is this what I'm trying to do? A nonfunctional 0815 trick where you initially think it works, only to find that the developers have already thought of it?
You get the client for free, you have to pay for the account.
The client is not a problem. You pay in the end for the account.
So you have to either give it yours or he would have to buy a new one
You can download the installer without buying Minecraft.

But you have to sign up to play and you have to buy the game.
