Minecraft

Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, players built simple structures to protect themselves from nocturnal monsters. But as the game grew, players began working together to create wonderful, imaginative things.

It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sunrise over a blocky ocean. It's pretty. Brave players battle terrible creatures in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. Or, if you'd prefer something calmer, you can visit a land of giant mushrooms – if that's more your cup of tea.

How do I update Minecraft?

Open the Minecraft Launcher. Click on "Options," next to the username text box, then press "Force update!" and login with your Minecraft credentials afterwards. Minecraft will start updating itself. This can also be used to get a fresh Minecraft installation, which will keep your saved games and texture packs, but not your mods.

Which version of Minecraft should I download (Java or Bedrock)?

Java Edition is popular for PC players who want mods and custom servers, while Bedrock Edition supports cross-platform play across consoles, mobile, and Windows.

Java is the more powerful and feature-rich version of Minecraft. PC gamers on the Java Edition have access to numerous communities and endless mods, which makes the multiplayer experience a lot more malleable. Java Edition also requires higher spec machines to run smoothly.

Bedrock Edition is multi-platform, which means Bedrock players can interact with each other be it console, mobile or PC. It comes packaged with microtransactions, RTX support, and a handful of other exclusive functions. Mainly its marketplace, where you can acquire skins and add-ons, and the option to use controllers. Parental controls via Xbox services can also provide peace of mind to parents.

How do I find other Minecraft players online?

To play Minecraft with others, you'll need to join a server. Servers offer different gameplay styles – some focus on building, others mimic MMORPGs, mini-games, or survival challenges.

The easiest way to find servers is to use a search engine or browse popular Minecraft server lists like Minecraft Server List, Planet Minecraft, or MinecraftServers.org. If you're after a specific experience (for example, GTA-style gameplay), just search something like "Grand Theft Auto Minecraft servers." Once you've found a server you like, open Minecraft, go to Multiplayer, and select Add Server to enter the server's address.

Do I need to download and install Java to play Minecraft?

Since Minecraft 1.18, the Java Edition installer includes its own bundled Java runtime (Java 17 for versions 1.19 and later), so most players don't need to manually install Java anymore. However, if you're using custom launchers, mods, or older versions, you might still need to install the correct Java version yourself.

Why can't I install or run Minecraft after downloading?

Common issues include outdated Java versions (for Java Edition – see above), insufficient system requirements, or missing game updates – make sure your software and drivers are up to date.

Can I transfer my Minecraft worlds or progress to another device?

Yes, but the method depends on the edition. Java Edition worlds can be manually copied between devices, while Bedrock Edition worlds can often be synced through cloud saves or manually transferred.

Do I need a Microsoft account to play Minecraft?

Yes, new players need a Microsoft account to purchase and access Minecraft. Older Mojang accounts have been migrated to Microsoft accounts.

• They are on by default - no need to enable anything to keep your Realm world safe with automatic saves.
• They are taken at the end of every Realms play session when the server shuts down, or every 30 minutes during a play session.
• They are only retained for a limited time, according to our retention policy (which has not changed with this update): How Mojang Saves Backups for Your Minecraft Realm | Minecraft Help
• They do not count towards your bank of cloud storage.
• All previous Realms backups will be converted to automatic saves.
• Manual saves are created by the Realm owner and count towards a bank of storage that comes with your Realms subscription.
• Manual saves are retained as long as your Realm is. They are not automatically deleted by our retention policy*, but Realm owners can delete manual saves if they want to free up storage space.
• Realms Plus subscriptions come with 10GB of manual save storage and Realms core subscriptions come with 5GB.
• Automatic saves can be turned into manual saves by the Realm owner.
• Realms saves can be found in the Realms settings menu accessed via the "Edit Realm" button rather than the Realms world settings menu that backups used to show up in. While playing on the Realm, saves can also be found in the in-game settings menu for the Realm owner.
• Realms saves will also now list the world name and the packs that were applied at the time of the save.

• Changes to world loading and the "Spawn Chunks"
• A dimension that has any player activity, forceloaded chunks, active portals, or Ender Pearls in flight will be considered "active" and will keep processing chunks and entities
• Previously, this would only apply if a player was in the dimension or a chunk was forceloaded
• Reworked the debug overlay to be less cluttered and more configurable
• Players seen in the game world of the current server are now always shown in the Social Interactions screen even if they are offline
• Players now stop flying when switching from Spectator Mode to Creative Mode if they are near the ground
• A player is considered to be near the ground if there is a collidable surface (i.e. blocks, Happy Ghasts, boats...) within 1 block below them
• Flight will not get disabled if the player was inside a block or collidable entity
• This is to prevent players from suddenly falling through the ground
• Migrated several server properties into game rules
• OpenGL 3.3 is now required to play the game, up from 3.2. This does not change our posted Minimum Requirements

Developer's Note: We do not expect the update to OpenGL version to affect many people, if any at all. Our posted Minimum Requirement has been OpenGL 4.0 since 2017, and OpenGL 3.3 turned 15 years old recently.

Performance Improvements

• Entity rendering order was improved for significantly better performance
• You'll notice much smoother gameplay in areas with lots of mobs, like mob farms
• FPS won't improve much if most of your lag comes from things other than entities, like playing with high render distance while not being near many mobs
• Particles outside the player's view are not rendered anymore, which provides a performance improvement in some cases

World Loading and Spawn Chunks

• The concept of fixed "Spawn Chunks" has been removed
• The game will ensure that the following chunks are fully loaded before the player joins or the server starts, in the same way as spawn chunks formerly were:
• Chunks loaded by the forceload command
• Chunks active due to portal activity
• Thrown Ender Pearls (Singleplayer only)
• A small area of chunks around the player (Singleplayer only)
• Chunks required to assign the global world spawn (World creation only)
• The world loading screen now shows the chunks that the player is about to be placed into, rather than chunks loaded around world spawn
• The loading screen now has a progress bar
