Can Screen Time limit Minecraft Java on Mac?

Is anyone able to get Apple Screen Time to limit time on Java Minecraft on the Mac? I don’t want to change permissions (as suggested above) because I want it to be available to my child sometimes, but need to limit the amount of time to play. One person mentioned setting the limit for Java, but how would I do that? I don’t think Java is a website, nor an App. Is it?

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

Minecraft app on Mac circumvents screen time Why doesn’t screen time block the Minecraft app on Mac? Is there a way to block this? If I choose to block all apps after a certain amount of time, it only blocks the app launcher, but if the Java app is running, the time limit is not enforced!

Block minecraft using Screen Time Is there any way to use Screen Time to block / restrict Minecraft? The minecraft launcher can be limited, but the application then runs in a standalone instance of Java which I can't find any way to restrict. The minimum setting for any limits is always 1 minute, so I don't seem to be able to block the use of the launcher for the 15 seconds or so it require to launch Java. Perhaps there is a way to do it in screen time, or perhaps there is a clever alternative way to limit the use of Java on an account? Happy to block Java permanently on a single account if that is possible David
