About this video: This video will show you how to download Minecraft Java Edition on PC. We show you every step of the process including where to buy Minecraft, which is required to get Minecraft on PC and start playing it.

That is actually the first step. You can find a link above to go to the official Minecraft website and purchase the game. Make sure that you use a Microsoft account that you know as you will need to it to login to Minecraft after you have downloaded it. Minecraft Java Edition is also included in Xbox Gamepass if you have it.

Once you have the game, we will need to download the Minecraft Launcher. There is a link to do this on Xbox.com above. There, click to install, and you will need to login to your Microsoft account. After that, it will start downloading.

You can also download the Minecraft Launcher from the Microsoft Store. This is the same as using the Xbox link above. Lastly, you can search in the Xbox App on your PC and download the Minecraft Launcher there. All of these methods work the same way and will allow you to play Minecraft.

From there, open up the Minecraft Launcher. You will be prompted to login to your Microsoft account. This will be the one you used to get Minecraft earlier.

At that point, you will be in the Minecraft Launcher. Click “Minecraft Java Edition” on the left-hand side and click the green “Play” button to start downloading and play Minecraft Java.

From there, can join a server, play single player, and enjoy the game!
