I had Windows 10 and I bough Minecraft for that OS, but my hard disk drive failed, and later I installed Ubuntu in a new external hard disk drive.

As Microsoft Store told me that I own the game and I can reinstall it on my devices. I am trying to recover it.

First I installed wine (My teacher told me that with the help of wine one could run a Windows program), then I tried to download it from the official microsoft page, without success. Then when I tried doing the same in my cousin's PC which has Windows 10, I realized that it also needed the Microsoft Store.

So my question is: Is it possible to install minecraft for Windows 10 in Ubuntu?

If the answer is yes: Is there a way to do so?

If the answer is no: Why not?

At least for .appx files it seems possible, see Is it possible to run Windows 10 UWP apps on Ubuntu?

Download appx file from store via https://store.rg-adguard.net/ (you have to save the file via the context menu).

unzip -d <output-dir> <file>.appx

Then check for the executable and run it with wine.

Hope it helps :)
