How to download Minecraft on a different Apple Account without repurchasing on App Store?

i purchased minecraft through my parents apple id. i want to download minecraft on my own apple id but it doesn’t allow me to do so without paying. i checked and the devices have family sharing. my ipad can download minecraft without paying because the apple id in the app store is signed in with my parents apple id.

You can't do that. Apps are permanently tied to the account used to purchase them.

If the app doesn't support family sharing, then you'll just have to re-purchase it using your own account.

Technically, there is a way to transfer apps, music, etc. between accounts, but it transfers ALL purchases. You can't just select individual apps to transfer.
