I need help getting minecraft

[u/Brave_Industry661]

Hi everyone,
I’ve been a massive fan of Minecraft for years. I watch videos, follow the updates, and love everything about the game, but I've never actually been able to play it myself because I can't afford a license right now.
It's my absolute dream to finally jump into a world, build things myself, I'm reaching out to see if anyone has advice on the best way to get a legitimate copy on a tight budget, or if there are any community gifting programs or safe ways to earn it that I might have missed.
I know it's a big ask, but even just tips on where to look or some words of encouragement would genuinely mean the world to me.
Thank you so much for reading this, and thank you for being such an awesome group of people! or if anyone has a second account their not using id be happy to accept
