So, first we need to download and install the JRE.

You should have a page similar to this one:

It's not critical).

Step 3 Installing Minecraft

To start the installation, you need to download Minecraft from the official site, you can download it by .

Even the most novice gamer knows that before playing a game, it needs to be installed. Installation is the first step on the way to exciting activity. This post is dedicated to all those who do not know how to install this game shku.

Even the server owners themselves have repeatedly requested that installation information be made widely available. So that for a person who is interested in the game, there are no unnecessary problems already at the installation stage.

Installing the Minecraft game consists of 3 stages.

So, let's deal with the installation step by step:

1. First step.

This stage begins with the installation of the JAVA environment. First of all, you need to download JAVA, especially for, on which this game is written. You can do this on the official website. It is very important not to make a mistake when choosing a bit depth operating system your PC. It is known that it can be 32 or 64 bit.

To determine the bit depth, in the Start menu (except for WINDOWS 8) on the Computer icon using the context menu, the Properties window opens. In this window there will be a line System Type. It tells you which system you have.

2. Second step.

You need to find the file with the extension - exe in the game folder. They are commonly referred to as launchers. This file is designed to run the game.
This file needs to be moved to the desktop. They differ depending on:

Which server is selected (different servers may have different launchers);
what version of the game itself;
which build of the game (that is, various mods, INDUSTRIAL CRAFT or DECORATIVES MOD can be installed)

3. Third step.

At the last decisive stage of installing the game, you need to work with the files of the game itself. The files must be dropped in order for the system to determine the installed game.

• If your operating system is WINDOWS XP, then copy the game files to the APPLICATION DATA / APPDATA folder. It is located on the C:/ drive, in the DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS folder.

• If you have WINDOWS VISTA or WINDOWS 7, then you need the USERS folder on the C: / drive. The next thing to do is to find the APPDATA folder in the USERS folder. And in the APPDATA folder you need to find the ROAMING folder and drop all the game files here.

APPDATA folders may be hidden. To show hidden folders on XP - select C: / -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View ->

On WINDOWS VISTA/7 select Start -> Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View -> Show hidden files and folders.

On this note, the installation of the game is fully completed and you can start playing.

However, you should know that you will not be able to play with this launcher, as you need to pay for your account at the link https://minecraft.net/en-us/store . The game is paid and implies a one-time purchase on the official website.

Instruction

Minecraft won't function without the Java software platform, so install it first (if you haven't already done so). Download from the official website of the manufacturer latest version, choosing the one that matches the bitness of your operating system. After installing Java, go to its Control panel (via the control panel, which you will find in the computer's start menu) and immediately enter the necessary RAM indicators in the line with Runtime Parameters - how much you want to allocate for the game (it is allowed to set them at a level below the total amount of RAM ). This is necessary for it to function without errors.

Find on any reliable resource the installer of the game client of the version that you need. Run the document with the .exe extension to start the installation. In this case, Minecraft will automatically be installed in the directory where it should be located. If you have only a zipped folder with no visible exe files, you will need to redirect its contents to the appropriate directory yourself. How exactly to do this depends on which version of Windows you have.

If you have to deal with XP, go to the start menu of the computer, find the line Run (“Run”) and enter% AppData% in it. You can try to find the right folder a little differently. Go to C:/Documents and Settings in the folder with your username and find the Application Data directory there. Copy the game files there. If you do everything correctly, a new folder will be formed at the above address - .minecraft.

For Windows 7 or Vista, copy the files from the game's installation archive to another location on your computer. Go to drive C, go there to the directory with users and click on the folder with your name. To open it correctly, click on the address bar in this window. The resulting address will have to end with AppData\Roaming. This is the directory you need to install Minecraft. Press Enter and the game folder will appear there.

If, after the above steps, the gameplay does not start, and an error message with video card drivers is displayed on the screen, it means that they are simply outdated or have not been installed at all. Correct such an oversight by downloading and installing the appropriate software. Now open Minecraft, start creating a new world in it, adjusting its settings (mode, difficulty level, etc.) and enjoy the game.
