How to move Minecraft Java edition from parent account to child account.

Question

Hi. I have bought the Minecraft (Java and Bedrock) on my account. But I do not want to play in this game. I bought it for my son. On his child account he can play the Bedrock edition without any problems it works great. But, he told me that Bedrock edition sucks and he want to play Java edition. And here the problem starts. The Java edition work only on my (parent) account, but do not work on his child account. Why? How can I transfer the game from my account to his account? I do not want to pay twice for the same game. Please help.

Hello, good day and thanks for your question. As the game license itself is tied up to the account from where it was purchased, the option is for you to use your account on that device and install the game for your son to be able to play Minecraft Java.
