Key points
- Active and dedicated modding scene, responsible for many fixes, tools and additional content.
- Game follows the Software as a Service model and support for previously supported platforms can easily be removed with the next version.[1]
- Likely to perform worse than the Windows 10 Edition on low-end hardware.[2]
General information
Availability
Source | DRM | Notes | Keys | OS |
---|---|---|---|---|
Official website |
- All versions require a Mojang Account or Minecraft Account.[3]
- Purchase no longer includes access to Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition as of October 19, 2018.[4]
- A demo is available.
Essential improvements
Utilities
- MultiMC - a custom open source launcher. It allows you to have multiple, separate instances of Minecraft, each with their own mods, texture packs, saves, etc.
Mods
- Fabric is required for many mods for Minecraft 1.14. Can be automatically installed with the 'Install Fabric' option in developer builds of MultiMC.
- Minecraft Forge is required by most mods, and is the standard for a modded setup. Keep in mind all builds for Minecraft 1.13 and 1.14 are unstable. Can be automatically installed with the 'Install Forge' option in MultiMC.
- OptiFine adds support for HD textures and a lot of options for better looks and performance. As of 12/17/2015, Optifine now also supports shaderpacks.
Java version
- The Windows version of Minecraft includes Java (used for Minecraft only). Installing Java manually is not necessary.
- Minecraft benefits from using the latest version of Java. Using 64-bit Java on 64-bit operating systems is strongly recommended.[5]
RAM allocation
- The official launcher allows you to easily allocate RAM and set other Java arguments. The manual methods are detailed below.

Issues fixed
- Mojang has created an Official Bug Tracker that you can use to find or report bugs. Please search for your problem before reporting it, as it may have already been fixed for the next update or reported previously. Reporting bugs multiple times does NOT help the developer fix them faster.
General fixes
- Some problems can be solved by simply restarting the client.
Cannot update the game[citation needed] |

Graphical issues
Black screen / broken textures[citation needed] |
