Best way to run an instance for cheap is on your own hardware, but I would only do that if you are experienced with self hosting since it would require port forwarding (unsecure if done wrong)

There is [email protected] but that place seems inactive. I couldn’t find a status page listed in their sidebar. When I was looking around it was very slow so it isn’t just a problem with you

Do you own the java edition? If you do then you get the windows version included, if you don’t, you don’t have much choice, it is probably impossible to pirate the windows version since it’s multiplayer is so locked down.

You’ll probably have to emulate android or buy it again to play on PC. At least you get java included! Yay?
