After setting up your account, verify your email by entering the code sent to your inbox. If you don't see the email, check your "Spam" folder. Once verified, your profile is linked to your Microsoft account, and you can proceed to purchase the game from the store on the website, following the provided instructions.

How to Start Your Journey

PC (Windows, macOS, Linux)

On PC, you have two main versions of Minecraft: 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 choose the game version to play.

Upon your first launch, you'll be prompted to log in with your Microsoft account. For solo play, click "Create New World" and select your preferred game mode: "Survival" for a classic challenge or "Creative" for unlimited resources.

To play with friends, 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 you have an invitation. To enable multiplayer in your world, create or load a world, go to settings, and turn on the multiplayer feature.

Xbox and PlayStation

For 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 your achievements and purchases.
