It's been years since I've done it so maybe it's much better now, but getting games to run properly in a VM was a huge hassle for me. In the best cases 3d acceleration was slow, often it just wouldn't work at all.

It’s not better now, unless you can do GPU passthrough
ehh I didn’t think of that.

Still though, isn’t Minecraft streaming mostly single player? I assumed latency is the big concern with VMs.

Although I also have very little gaming experience, I can imagine for very good players even slight delays are widely noticeable.

but btw Minecraft is Java, right? So technically it’s on a VM anyway lol. (I know, not really the same, making a joke)
