Would be great if there is a possible way to implement this without pirating anything.

Would be great, but this is a (very) long ways away, and also not something that can be fixed in GmsCore. This would need to be implemented in microG Phonesky, but who knows when development on that will resume.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but for the time being, if you need apps that have to perform a license check, the only real option is to replace FakeStore with the real Play Store so it can do the license check (or of course, pirate workarounds, at your own discretion.)

Depending on the app it might also be possible to remove Play Store after doing the license check and re-replace it with FakeStore, and as long as you don't clear the app's data it'll just continue to work. Some paid apps need to continually check the license through Play Store to remain functional, so this workaround wouldn't work for them and you'd need to keep the official Play Store around.

There are also some (mostly free) apps that ask to check for a license, in theory many of these could be fixed by giving FakeStore a CHECK_LICENSE permission as described in https://github.com/microg/FakeStore/pull/16, but for some reason this isn't being done. Note that this most likely wouldn't help for actual paid apps like Minecraft PE.

Seems like Minecraft PE might use server side verification

There is also client side verification
