Correct Screen time setting of Minecraft/JAVA

I set up screen time for my son who want to play Minecraft. But screen time restriction asks him to add website/JAVA all the time. Even I add selected website/JAVA, I have to do it again after restarting Mac. I called Apple customer service in Japan, but he couldn't help him out. Do I have to add selected websites/JAVA all the time when my son want to play Minecraft?


MacOS 11.15.1

Minecraft 1.17.1

Java 8


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.5

Hey,

Is his screen time restrictions set to anything under 12, because if it is screen time will think java is a whole new app or website as it is launched via the Minecraft launcher, Java does not run directly on the hardware, but in a virtual machine, called the JVM (Java Virtual Machine).


Hope this helps.
