I do all the cybersecurity work on Linux Fedora KDE-Plasma 44 but i do daily driving with Kali-Linux though does anyone else knows how to do that? i like doing all the cybersecurity work on linux fedora and do the gaming part on Kali-Linux VM but that is how i would like to do in this order, cybersecurity in one linux distribution (operating system) and gaming on another inside VM
What’s your specific question? Is it how to install Minecraft in Kali Linux?

Yes, actually it is that kind of question since i do use Linux Fedora for cybersecurity work and Kali-Linux for daily driving, besides i do think i do not use it for cybersecurity work so i’d rather use it for gaming instead
I suspect you’d be better off asking on a forum that supports either Kali Linux or any system that uses the dpkg package manager, so that would be debian and its derivatives.
According to this then the solution on every platform is to go to the minecraft site and download the installation package, which I presume is a tarball, and unpack it.
It’s probably been package into both flatpak and snap by now so if you install flatpak or snapd into your VM you should be good to go. Expect much weaker performance in the VM compared to a native installation though.

You can use MultiMC(https://multimc.org/); it has a Linux version but depends on QT5.

I would personally do everything in the one OS.
If you need two, I would game on the metal, due to graphics difficulties in VMs. Also doing cybersecurity in a VM gives you some intetesting configs to play around with as you advance.
A very generic feedback from a security (margin) point of view:
Security measures like firewalls aim to protect (as far as possible) from threats/attacks from the inside (such as malicious or captured processes) and from the outside (various types of attacks).
Pentesting measures are often similar, in some cases they are even equal, to the measures of attacks. So pentesting (from information gathering to actual penetration attempts) often resembles or equals attacks or the actions preceding attacks.
Therefore, measures like firewalls have an increased likelihood to corrupt both information gathering of pentesting but also prevent/mitigate the penetration attempts already within the own system (so long before the targeted system is reached).
This means, an operating system designed for pentesting has a high likelihood to have by default disabled security measures that should be enabled for daily drivers.
I have not worked with Kali for many years, but as far as I know, its emphasis has not changed: it’s a pentesting OS.
This does not mean that Kali is insecure or easy to be attacked or captured.
But it implies that some security measures that are suggested to be enabled on daily drivers might be disabled by default in Kali, and much knowledge from many people that in other OS is used to create a good security compromise for daily drivers is invested differently in Kali. This means that in case of a doubt the Kali developers might accept lower/less security margins/measures for its own processes/data/storage than OS that are intended to be a daily driver. This would be obviously in order to serve the purpose of a pentesting system.
Again, this does not mean that Kali can be easily attacked or captured or so. But if any security measure or security assumption of the system is broken (e.g., through a bug), it is likely that there will be less security measures remaining that could compensate.
I write all that just to say: be careful to use a pentesting OS as daily driver 
Hope that makes some sense
Cyber security well how I put this on… as eyes of cyber security specialist UNI student that does everything using fedora as host.
The question is host needs to be clean and secure and easy to recover and that’s why I use atomic as host. I have basic cyber security tools on toolbox and that is defensive tools and monitoring apps. This is because there is no escape and infection escalate problems. So you do all blue stuff using like that. Development is also on my software engineer work using toolbox
When it comes to red stuff you need to have VM and basic clean snapshot pinned always as you need to wipe the Kali after pentest and reports written to back to that clean base. You can’t leave anything from those to system since it also violation of contract and company secrets.
Using Kali as VM also is much faster to recover than each time to reinstall os on bare metal
This is just my thoughts and how I do and it is default how almost all cyber security specialists does penetration testing, but then they have windows VM, self hosted VPS with multiple IP and Kali setups again on VM headless or non headless
