Backstory: My friends and I go are both pc gamers and go round each overs houses (not anymore obviously) for sleepovers. Because we are on pc there aren't many games we can play together.
Problem: We are both massive Minecraft lovers and we were wondering if we are able to play Minecraft together on the same machine with different accounts with different input devices so theoretically we could play on the same server together? We have searched everywhere and didn't find much. We were wondering if we could do this through a Virtual Machine maybe? It's just the only issue is that we cannot have the same window open at the same time…

If you have multiple graphics cards, it is theoretically possible to pass through the mouse and keyboard as well as one GPU to the VM, and then set it up as fullscreen on a second monitor. This worked for me in QEMU/KVM on Linux, but on Windows it may be impossible. I used this tutorial on Ubuntu 20.04.
