Verify your email address using the code sent to your inbox. Check your spam folder if you don't receive it promptly. 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, compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, is downloaded from the official website. After installing the launcher, log in with your Microsoft or Mojang account and select your game version.

For solo play, click "Create New World" and choose your game mode: "Survival" for a classic experience or "Creative" for unlimited resources. For multiplayer, navigate to the "Servers" tab in the "Play" section to join public servers or use a private server's IP address.
