Description
What type of update are you requesting?
A new version of an existing package
Current Package Identifier
Mojang.MinecraftLauncher
Package Version
2.0.0.0
Please describe the changes you would like to see
Using "winget install -e Mojang.MinecraftLauncher"
Besides being a NET Installer and installing the latest launcher version the launcher that is being installed by this is the "New Legacy Launcher" as Mojang calls it (see this)
An update to install the newest launcher would be great.
There is no winget package and no msstore source for installing the newest Launcher.

Verify how the newest launcher can be identified and installed through winget; done means the package installs that launcher rather than the New Legacy Launcher.
