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 created and linked to your Microsoft account. You can then purchase the game (if you haven't already) from the website's store, following the on-screen instructions.
How to Start Your Journey
PC (Windows, macOS, Linux)
Minecraft on PC offers two main editions: Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. Java Edition, compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, is downloaded from the official Minecraft website. After installing the launcher, log in with your Microsoft or Mojang account and select your preferred game version.

Upon first launch, you'll be prompted to log in with your Microsoft account credentials. For solo play, click "Create New World" and choose your game mode: "Survival" for a classic experience or "Creative" for unlimited resources. For multiplayer, go to the "Play" section, then the "Servers" tab to join public servers or enter a private server's IP address. To play with friends in the same world, enable multiplayer in the world settings.
Xbox and PlayStation

Mobile Devices (iOS, Android)
