After setting up your account, verify your email by entering the code sent to you. If the email doesn't arrive promptly, check your "Spam" folder. Once verified, your profile is linked to your Microsoft account, and you can proceed to purchase the game if you haven't already. Choose your preferred version from the store on the website and follow the prompts to complete your purchase.

How to Start Your Journey

PC (Windows, macOS, Linux)

On PC, you have two main options: Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. Java Edition is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux and can be downloaded from the official Minecraft website. After installing the launcher, log in with your Microsoft or Mojang account and select your game version.

Upon your first launch, you'll see an authorization window. Enter your Microsoft account credentials to log in. For solo play, click "Create New World" and choose your game mode: "Survival" for the classic challenge or "Creative" for unlimited resources.

For multiplayer, navigate to the "Play" section in the main menu, then to the "Servers" tab. You can join a public server or enter a private server's IP address if invited. To play with friends in the same world, create or load a world, then enable multiplayer in the settings.

Xbox and PlayStation

On Xbox consoles (Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S), download Minecraft from the Microsoft Store. Launch the game from your console's home screen and log in with your Microsoft account to sync achievements and purchases.
