Creating a Minecraft Account

You'll need a Microsoft account to play. Visit the official Minecraft website and click "Sign In" in the upper right corner. Follow the prompts to create a new account.

Provide your email address, create a strong password, and choose a unique username (the system will offer alternatives if your choice is taken).

Verify your email address using the code sent to your inbox (check your spam folder if it's delayed). Once verified, your profile is linked to your Microsoft account. You can then purchase the game (if you haven't already) from the website's store, following the purchase instructions.

How to Start Your Journey

PC (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Minecraft on PC offers Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. Java Edition (Windows, macOS, Linux) is downloaded from the official website. After installing the launcher, log in with your Microsoft or Mojang account and select your game version.

On first launch, log in with your Microsoft account credentials. Choose "Create New World" for solo play, selecting "Survival" or "Creative" mode. For multiplayer, go to the "Play" section, then "Servers," to join public servers or enter a private server IP address. To play with friends in the same world, enable multiplayer in the world settings.

Xbox and PlayStation

On Xbox consoles (Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S), log in via the Microsoft Store after downloading and installing the game. Your Microsoft account syncs achievements and purchases. PlayStation 3, 4, and 5 players purchase and download from the PlayStation Store, logging in with a Microsoft account for cross-platform play.

Mobile Devices (iOS, Android)

Purchase Minecraft through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Log in with your Microsoft account to enjoy cross-platform play.

Remember: Bedrock Edition supports cross-platform play across all devices mentioned above. Java Edition is PC-only.

How to Exit Minecraft

Use the in-game menu. On PC, press Esc, then select "Save and Quit." On consoles, access the pause menu and choose "Save and Quit," then exit via the console menu. On mobile, use the "Save and Quit" button in the game menu, and then close the app via your device's system menu.

Enjoy your Minecraft adventures! Explore solo or team up with friends across various devices in this endlessly engaging blocky world.
