Key points
- Minecraft's server files can be installed, free-of-charge, on most operating systems (including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux).
- Active and dedicated modding scene, responsible for many fixes, tools and additional content.
General information
- Minecraft Website - buy the game, play the game, download the game, and find information about the game.
- Mojang's Help Site - find help and check if the game servers are down.
- Official Wiki - find information on updates, features, creating servers, and more.
- Official Bug Tracker - this is the one and only bug tracker for Minecraft.
- Official Curse forums - a good place to find mods, servers, and general information.
- Mojang Blog - learn about updates and Minecraft-related projects straight from the source.
- Minecraft subreddit
Availability
- Only available from minecraft.net, any other source is likely a scam.
Improvements
Utilities

Java version

Issues and fixes
- 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
- When in doubt, using the Force update function in the launcher's options can be a good place to start. Mods installed into Minecraft's folder may be lost during this process.
- Some problems can be solved by simply restarting the client.
