How To Play Minecraft Across All Platforms In 2023: Guide And Steps

There are some good news players who wish to play long hours of the exciting Minecraft game but are somewhat hesitant to pay the money for it, can now enjoy the free trial of the game that is available for the Java and Bedrock versions of the game. 

Players may access these free access links on the official website of Minecraft that will redirect you to the download sites for the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft. This download is available for Windows PS3/4/5, PS Vita, and Android.

As you scroll down further on the page, you will find an additional set of links that are accessible for the Java Edition. However, these are only available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. 

These links include detailed instructions on how players can download and install each version of the game.

Minecraft Free Trial

The good news is that during the free trial there will be no blocked material that will be unavailable, irrespective of the Minecraft Edition or your platform. This means players will be able to play the whole game. 

In case players have a time restriction imposed after the trial starts players must ensure that it isn’t taken advantage of. The time restriction may vary depending on the platform. However, it often ranges between 90 and 100 minutes, or close to 5 in-game days.

Even though the time limit may be irritating at times, realize that you have more than enough time to explore all the game’s features. You can use this time to get comfortable with the gameplay loop if you’re not sure you’ll like it. This is undoubtedly one of the best methods to play a bit of Minecraft. Post that make sure you to purchase the game on your favourite platform before you invest any money.

Minecraft Creative mode

Players will now be able to play the original build of Minecraft’s creative mode in any browser for free. This is a gift from the developer Mojang, who celebrated the game’s 10th anniversary in 2019. 

Currently, there are only 32 blocks available to use in this version. This basically implies that all of the problems that were prevalent in the previous version of that mode are also present in this one. Besides, because this is mostly browser-based, closing the browser will not allow you to save your builds.

Players may want to copy the URL that is created at the time when a world is generated. They can then share it with up to nine others so that all of them can play together. Similarly, players can also access this free version of Minecraft at classic.minecraft.net. This can give you a journey down memory lane or you can use it just to try it.
