    Originally it was possible to get a very basic demo version of Minecraft for free but nowadays it must be paid for. It might be possible to get gift codes for Minecraft from some sites but if you download Minecraft from the official site or an app store, it requires payment.

    You can buy a Java version off the Minecraft website or the bedrock edition off the App Store, Xbox store, Playstation store, Wii U, etc. You will need a credit/debit card or an equivalent electronic payment ability, or gift codes. In some countries, prepaid cards are beginning to become available for purchasing Minecraft. More advice can be found at Mojang's support page.

    No. For a role-play, just change skins to a character, for example Slenderman. But the role has to be appropriate. So if its a scary/Halloween role, take a scary skin; if its a school role, pick Cute Guy/Cool Boy, or Cool Girl/Cute Girl.
