Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is Minecraft on PC free?

No. The full version of Minecraft for PC is not free, although Mojang offers time-limited free trials of both Java and Bedrock Edition. On Windows, Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition includes both versions of the game in one purchase.
2. How much is a gaming PC for Minecraft?

Minecraft doesn't require a high-end gaming PC for standard gameplay. A modern gaming PC with a Ryzen 5 or Intel Core i5-class processor and 16GB of RAM provides a strong starting point, while a dedicated graphics card is recommended if you want to use demanding shaders, higher render distances or enhanced visual settings.
3. Is it worth buying Minecraft on PC?

For many players, yes. Minecraft on PC provides access to both Java and Bedrock Edition on Windows, with Java particularly popular for community mods and custom servers, while Bedrock supports cross-platform play with consoles and mobile devices.
4. What is the cheapest computer that can run Minecraft?

Minecraft can run on relatively modest hardware, but its current Java Edition requirements are higher than they once were. Mojang now lists a four-core processor and at least 8GB of RAM with dedicated graphics, or 12GB with integrated graphics, as the minimum target for Java Edition. For a new PC, we recommend 16GB of RAM for a smoother experience and additional headroom for mods and other applications.

5. How much is Minecraft on PC UK?

Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC includes both versions of Minecraft in a single purchase. Prices can change, so check the official Minecraft store or Microsoft Store for the current UK price.
6. Can I install Minecraft for PC for free?

You can download the Minecraft Launcher and try Minecraft using the official free trial, but the full game requires a purchase or other valid entitlement. Free trials are currently available for both Java and Bedrock Edition, although multiplayer servers are disabled during the trial.
7. What PC do I need to run Minecraft with shaders like BSL or SEUS?

Minecraft shaders can be significantly more demanding than the standard game. For popular shader packs such as BSL, we recommend 16GB of RAM and a modern dedicated graphics card. An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 gaming PC is a great choice for shader-based Minecraft at 1080p and 1440p, while an RTX 5070 or higher provides additional performance for demanding shaders, higher render distances and more intensive visual effects.
