I want to have 2 instances of minecraft running on my computer and a mice and keyboard to control each instance. is there any software that can do that? I know sandboxie removed that capability in an older version. I am running windows 8. one could be sandboxed, I don't care. I just want it to work.

No , that's with VMs 'n shit, @OP is asking if he can play 2 separate instances of minecraft with 2 keyboards and mice plugged in at the same time. I think no.

Actually to do it he would do the exact same thing linus did

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

you should be able to have two instances of MC running without VM's, but while you could each use different keys on your keyboards so software wouldn't be confused, I don't have any idea how dual mice would work

But he would need at least three GPUs for that.

Yeah I don't think there is software out there that would allow multiple mice to work on the same pc. Does Minecraft on the PC support controllers? you might be able to have one run under a controller while the other is mouse and keyboard. But... thinking about it now. The controller would probably need the window to be the active window to work... so that probably wouldn't work either. So VM's are your best option but that will require another license of Minecraft anyway...
