Share Minecraft with Family

I've seen a more or less similar post but of 2016, so I was hoping things might be different now.

Is it possible to buy minecraft once and share it with your kids on the family account and can they play it simultaneously?

I find this whole family account and content sharing on the microsoft store very confusing.  It is very obvious in the Google play store how that works and there I bough minecraft once and can share it with my kids who can play it simultaneously.
