Minecraft, the wildly popular sandbox game, isn’t free. That’s the bad news. The good news is that there are several ways that you can play Minecraft, or at least test it out, without having to pay any money. We sampled a few methods to see which one would be most effective for getting a free Minecraft experience as close to the full version as possible.

Below are several options if you want to play Minecraft for free. The specifics depend on which platform you are using, either PC/Mac or Console. Sadly, there are no free options to play Minecraft on your mobile device (Android and iOS).

How to play Minecraft for free on PC/Mac (Java Edition)

For a while now, Minecraft has had a demo version that you can download after creating an account on the official website. The demo lets you play for nearly two hours in a single world, as well as in survival mode. After 5 in-game “days” however, the demo forcibly ends. This equals about 100 minutes, as each Minecraft game day lasts 20 minutes of real-world time.

If you don’t have a premium account, you can only run the demo.

There is, however, a simple trick you can use to play longer: open Windows Explorer, type %AppData% and then hit Enter.

Go into the folder marked saves/Demo_World Minecraft and delete the files Level.dat and level.dat_old. If you restart the demo, you should be able to play.

Delete these two files and you’ll be able to continue playing the demo.

Can you play Minecraft for free on Windows 10?

There’s a lot of confusion about whether Minecraft can be played for free on Windows 10. At the moment, there is unfortunately no known way to play for free on this platform.

Back in the beta, there was a time when you could get the Windows 10 edition for free, but that opportunity expired a long time ago.

The good news is that if you previously purchased Minecraft for the PC (Java Edition) from Mojang, you can transfer your older paid account over to Windows 10 for free. In other words, you don’t need to purchase Minecraft again just to play the new version on Windows 10.

To claim your free Windows 10 copy, first, log into account.mojang.com, and under the My Games heading you will find a button to claim your gift code. If you purchased Minecraft: Java Edition after October 19th, 2018, the button will not be there. Pressing the button will generate a token and send you to a Microsoft redemption page.

The original Minecraft was played in a web browser, and although early versions lacked many of the objects and creatures present in the current game, it still has all the essential Minecraft elements.

Can you play Minecraft on a console for free?

Yes! There are demo versions available both for Xbox and Playstation players.

You can find free demo versions of Minecraft for Xbox One and Xbox 360 through the Xbox Store.

PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita also have free demo versions of Minecraft in the PlayStation Store.

Just like the PC/Mac version, however, there are limitations. You can only play the tutorial level and you cannot save your game progress. The demo versions only give you a small taste of what the gameplay is like.

Can you play Minecraft Classic in your browser for free?

The original Minecraft was played in a web browser, and although early versions lacked many of the objects and creatures present in the current game, for a long time, it still had all the essential Minecraft elements.

Sadly, Minecraft Classic is no more, and the web page where it was hosted has since been removed by Microsoft.

Minecraft Classic is no longer available, but it once allowed you to play a simple version of Minecraft in your web browser.

Can you play older versions of Minecraft for free (betas included)?

The new launcher lets you run older versions of Minecraft, even if you haven’t paid for the game. To do this, you just have to create a new profile and allow the use of “Historical” Minecraft versions (the old ones) from the Launch Options menu.

To do this:

1. Enable historical options by clicking on the switch.
2. Choose “Add New”
3. Select which version you’d like to play from the very long list of releases. The old Alpha and Beta versions are towards the bottom.

Yes, you can play the beta version of Minecraft as much as you like without paying a penny.

Can you play Minecraft for free by using game cards?

Well, yes, but with important warnings. Numerous Minecraft game cards are available, and there are several web sites and mobile apps that will let you “earn” them without having to pay for them with real money.

Technically speaking, they’re not “free” because you have to do something to earn the game card. And this is where you want to be careful.

Some of these systems require you to view ads, share links with your friends, or complete lengthy surveys. Some are even known to try to install malware on your device — and dealing with the trouble that this can cause often costs more than the price of buying Minecraft in the first place.

If you really like it, buy it

There are ways that you can play a demo of Minecraft for free, but our advice is simple: if you like it, buy it.

These options are good if you want to test out the game or play around a bit before you decide whether or not you want to buy it, but in the end, if you want to enjoy all of Minecraft and everything it has to offer, nothing beats the full, paid version of the game.

We’re often asked if players can download Minecraft: Pocket Edition for free after purchasing it on a device using a different app store. Unfortunately, this is not possible. For example, if you made your initial purchase on an Android device and then want to play Minecraft on an iOS device, you will need to purchase it again through your iOS app store.

Apple’s App Store, Google Play, and Amazon Appstore each sell their apps separately and do not coordinate sales with the competing companies. Unfortunately, it is not possible to download a previously purchased app, including Minecraft: Pocket Edition, to a device that uses a different online marketplace.
If you’ve deleted Minecraft: Pocket Edition, and want to download it again using the same app store account and device type on which it was purchased, you can visit your device’s app store, search for Minecraft, and re-download the app for free.

minecraft pe game play
The objective of the game remains the same as its PC and Console Edition counterparts, where players can build virtual realities in a sandbox-like environment. Like its counterparts, Pocket Edition also has survival elements present in other versions of the game such as brewing, hunger, and dimensions like the Nether in Pocket Edition. The multiplayer mode is cross-platform compatible between all touch-screen devices capable of running Pocket Edition.

The HUD and other elements are adapted to mobile standards of gameplay. Interactions are made via touchscreen (both the iOS and Android versions of Pocket Edition have the same gameplay). To comply with the disadvantages of touchscreen gameplay, several features were revised. For instance, the crafting system uses the MATTIS system and items are disposed by long-tapping their icon on the hotbar. For better visibility on mobile screens, blocks being aimed at are highlighted rather than outlined. Unlike mobile’s crafting menu, Windows 10 edition’s crafting menu is similar to PC and Console crafting menu. The game was released with graphics akin to that of Minecraft Alpha (bright green grass blocks, old cobblestone texture, etc.), but as of Alpha 0.8.0, graphics have become equivalent, and arguably better, than the PC version with light tinting and shading affected by the Sun’s position. Differences from the PC edition include:

Some mobs have some sort of difference from their PC counterparts. See the Mobs section below.
Multiplayer allows for 4 ways of player connection:
Through LAN, allowing for 5 players to be on a single world
Through Pocket Realms. Pocket Realms was closed in Alpha 0.7.6 and now available again in Alpha 0.15.0.
Through a user-created external server. A list of sever software can be found here.
Through Xbox live

Minecraft guides
open-world sandbox survival，Players control a character that has basic needs such as hunger and shelter to be fulfilled，its “building” gameplay where players construct various structures from simple houses to complex automated railings.In Minecraft Pocket Edition, the Crafting part employs the Minecraft Advanced Touch Technology Interface

Controls
The Xperia Play version of this game has the innate advantage of physical buttons. However, everything else on mobile platforms uses on-screen Controls. The virtual D-Pad (located on the lower left side) is used for movement. Tapping the forward button will bring two more buttons for moving in diagonal direction. The D-Pad also has a button in the middle of the cross. This button is used for sneaking. On the lower right side of the screen is the jump button. You can switch these buttons in the settings menu.

minecraft pe history
Minecraft Pocket Edition APK is a 2009 sandbox indie and arcade video game created by Swedish programmer Markus “Notch” Persson and later published by Swedish company, Mojang AB. Markus Persson was inspired to create Minecraft after he and a few friends played Infiniminer. The first published video of Minecraft was called “Cave Game”. Only later on did it become Minecraft. In October 2014, Microsoft purchased Mojang AB and the rights to Minecraft for 2.5 billion dollars (US), followed by Notch and a few other original developers retiring from the company shortly after. Minecraft had 20 million copies sold as of June 30, 2015.
Minecraft: Pocket Edition is the mobile version of Minecraft developed by Mojang AB. It was initially launched exclusively for the Xperia PLAY on Google Play for US $6.99 on August 16, 2011. It was later released for other Android devices on the 7th of October 2011. Minecraft Pocket Edition for iOS devices was released on Thursday, the 17th of November 2011 on the iOS App Store. On September 13, 2012, the Pocket Edition was made available for purchase on the Amazon Appstore. On April 2, 2014, the Pocket Edition was released for the Amazon Fire TV, with support for the Fire TV’s controller. A demo/lite version of the game, which was essentially version 0.2.1 without world save functionality, was available until October 21, 2013. On December 10, 2014, the Windows Phone version was released on the Windows Store.Since then, four adaptations of Pocket Edition have been released for Windows 10 (Windows 10 Edition), the Samsung Gear VR (Gear VR Edition), the Apple TV (Apple TV Edition), and the Amazon Fire TV (Fire TV Edition). According to Jeb,

why can’t I craft a Saddle
Listen, Minecraft is an amazing game that keeps my 8 soon to be 9 year old and I occupied for hours and hours on in. Which is totally awesome my only gripe, through all the updates, all the plugs, and bug fixes, why, oh why can’t we craft a saddle? Are you game developers trying to just punish us or torture us? Yes, I know I can search for a saddle. I can’t even fish and maybe catch a saddle. With all the different hidden chest in the game, from the desert temples, to the jungle temples even in the spawner rooms I have a good chance to find a saddle. But give me a break I mean we can even now craft horse armor but what good is having the ability to craft horse armor if you cannot ride the horse? Listen not being able to craft a saddle is not going to stop me from wanting to play this amazing game with my Son until we fall asleep with the controllers in our hands while our characters run in place into a wall, but as an addicted Minecraft player, on the Xbox as well as on my iPad mini, I just ask, dare I say beg for you Game developers to please, Please give us this one solid and allow us to craft saddles for the horses PLEASE!!!

how to add trading
I have been playing (MCPE) since the beginning even when they had stone cutters in survival. That was a long long long time ago. Trust me a very long time ago like for real!!! I love that I got to play during the game evolving over and over and over again.!!!.!! I really like playing (MCPE), Mc Xbox 360, and we’ll soon to be pc and I probably will be great at hardcore cuz I’m great at redstone and surviving!!!!! I really wish they could seriously add trading in the next update because I really think they was in 0.16.0 cuz I was at a villager in survival and was on crouch and it showed this button that said “Open” but it didn’t do anything but I’m pretty sure it was for trading!!! Reply to this if u had the same thing happen to u!!!! So if u were, Mojang peeps, going to add trading in the last update but it didn’t work, can u add it in the next update PLZZZZZ!!!!! And I play on iOS so I don’t get too play the next update till the full release so bye really hope u read this who ever in mojang reads this and try’s to add this in the next update!!!!!!!

minecraft pocket edition apk full version
By all means the new update is great with features. But there is so many bugs it is quite hard to do much of them. I load the game, and there is about a 25% chance of the game
crashing before I even get to the title screen. Once I get there when I hit the play button to start I have to wait two minutes for the world list to load, once I get there and I load a world it’s another two minutes to get into the game. When I am ready to get off and I press save and quit it’s two minutes of a black screen with only the controls showing then either the game crashes or I get to the title screen. In game I have this issue where I will suddenly be looking a random direction and also break a block if I’m in creative mode. This is no rare thing. It happened about every 30 seconds or so. Great features. Bugs fixes and engine improvements needed.
The slowness is not me having a old device. I just got a new 64 bit device this Christmas.

Also I would like the old world list system back. It looked and work better. The new one when I scroll the world a had my thumb on to scroll will select and take me into the world (plus 2 minutes) then I log out (plus 2 minutes with a chance of crashing) Title screen play button (plus 2 minutes). I like the game just extremely buggy and slow right now also my never dying hate for the new world select screen. I would love it for the bugs to be fixed and maybe switch back to the old world select. Thank you.

Kinda laggy, could be faster.
Amazing app, could use improvements. Kinda laggy, could be faster. If it was a smaller application, it would be amazing. I wish on creative u could enable enderman so he does not build thoses weird towers I would love it if I could spawn horses too. And I think it is so cool how we can collect “points” and how we can now switch from creative to survival. I also would like it if everything was a little bigger, I’m not like super old( i think im pretty young ) but i can’t see everything clearly

festive mash-mashup
Love new updates Love the newest update and festive mash-mashup, my kids have been waiting for awhile now. Bug that needs to be fixed, my daughter and I had no problem opening the pack on our devices. But my son can’t get it to open on his phone. When I click to purchase again, it goes to google play but then says error already purchased. When he goes into his game the festive mashup is still showing that it’s locked.

amazing updating
What a cool game out of the rest Wow, some amazing updating, keep it up! It’s also relaxing and fun in survival mode. Creative is good but boring for me. I have an idea! May you add a hardcore mode so like us, one live for 1.3.0. Then on 1.4.0 plz other foods e.g. rice, ice cream, burgers and all other things

great graphics
Best game ever! It’s addictive! It has great graphics and if you add shaders to your world it makes it look even better. One of the most creative games ever. There are endless possibilities you can do with this. I do have a bug though that hasn’t been fixed yet. The bug is while I’m playing at random times, when I’ve stopped and looked around and go to move and touch the button to move forward, it makes me look down and spin in a random direction that’s not the way I want to go. This needs to be fixed quickly.

Minecraft – Pocket Edition APK helps you playing a game,killing time,playing with friends,make money,earn money. If you need indie game,sandbox game,puzzle game,reaction time,racing game, Minecraft – Pocket Edition APK is the best super fun,addicting game,creative game,amazing game,casual game.

[2016/08/22] WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH REDSTONE ON POCKET / WIN 10?

As you may have heard, we’ve been making a few changes to the way redstone works in Pocket / Windows 10 Edition – just part of our ongoing mission to give minecrafters as many cool tools as possible. Most recently, we’ve been trying to simplify the peculiarities of redstone without compromising on the power.

Talking of power, right now a block can:
give off power (often referred to as a strong signal or directly powered signal)
be powered (often referred to as giving off a weak, or indirectly powered signal)
be unpowered
In the image below you can see this in action. The redstone block on the left gives off a strong signal, lighting up the adjacent lamp. But the lamp diagonal to the redstone block and the one next to that remain unpowered. Over on the right, a redstone wire has been placed on the middle lamp, allowing it to carry the strong signal from the redstone block and light the lamp next to it.

[2016/08/18] FIXES, FAQS AND A CHANGELOG FOR 0.15.6
