Creating a Minecraft Account

To embark on your Minecraft journey, you'll need to create a Microsoft account. Head to the official Minecraft website, and locate the "Sign In" button in the upper right corner. Click it, and in the authorization window that appears, choose the option to create a new account.

Enter your email address and set up a strong password for your Minecraft account. Next, pick a unique username. If it's taken, don't worry—the system will provide alternative suggestions.

After setting up your account, confirm your email address by entering the code sent to your email. If you don't see it, check your "Spam" folder. Once verified, your profile is linked to your Microsoft account, allowing you to purchase the game if you haven't already. Choose your preferred version on the website's store and follow the instructions to complete the purchase.

How to start your journey

PC (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Minecraft on PC comes in two main versions: 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 to start playing.

Upon your first launch, you'll encounter an authorization window. Enter your Microsoft account credentials and log in. For solo play, click "Create New World" and choose your game mode—either "Survival" for a classic challenge or "Creative" for limitless resources.

For multiplayer, navigate to the "Play" section in the main menu, then the "Servers" tab. You can join public servers or enter the IP address of a private server if you have an invitation. To play with friends, create or load a world, then enable multiplayer in the settings.

Xbox and PlayStation

For Xbox consoles (Xbox 360, Xbox One, and 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.

PlayStation users (PS3, PS4, and PS5) can purchase and download Minecraft from the PlayStation Store. Launch from the home screen and log in with your Microsoft account for cross-platform play.

Mobile Devices (iOS, Android)

On mobile, purchase Minecraft from the App Store for iOS or Google Play for Android. After installation, log in with your Microsoft account. The mobile version supports cross-platform play with other devices.

It's worth noting that Bedrock Edition enables cross-platform play across all listed devices, uniting players regardless of their chosen platform. However, Java Edition is restricted to PC and does not support cross-platform play.

The process of starting Minecraft varies by platform, but thanks to Bedrock Edition's cross-platform feature, cooperative play is easily accessible across different devices.

How to Exit Minecraft

To exit the game, access the menu. On PC, press the Esc key to open the game menu and click "Save and Quit" to return to the main menu. From there, close the program to fully exit.

On consoles, open the pause menu with the appropriate gamepad button and select "Save and Quit". To fully close the game, use the console's menu by pressing the "Home" button, highlighting Minecraft, and selecting the exit option.

On mobile devices, the "Save and Quit" button is in the game menu. To close the app completely, use the device's system menu. On Android, swipe up from the bottom to close running apps, and on iOS, double-press the "Home" button or swipe up to close the app.

Now that you're familiar with the basics, we wish you endless fun and exciting discoveries in the blocky world of Minecraft, whether you're playing solo or with friends on any device.
