Question

Why can't I just go to Media Fire and download it for free?

Jeff

Community Answer

Once you download it you need a Premium Mojang Account and so it won't work.

Question

How do I get my user information if my parents took Minecraft away from me?

Community Answer

Odds are there will be a "Forgot your username?" button when you're trying to sign in, and you may be able to reset it. If not, you may just need to wait until your parents give it back to you.

Question

After the demo ends, what happens? Will I be able to open it again and play?

Happygreengirl12

Community Answer

After the time is up you freeze and are unable to break blocks. When you leave the world you have to start again, which is the downside to the demo version.

Question

Can I download Minecraft without the demo world?

Community Answer

Actually, the copy of Minecraft that you will be downloading is the full version, only with limited gameplay. You can then buy the full version directly from the game if you want with no further downloads.

Question

Why can't I use SK Launcher when I downloaded Minecraft for free?

Community Answer

You can use that launcher if you don't have any problems with running it. If one launcher doesn't work, try another cracked Minecraft launcher.

Question

What's the difference between the demo and the paid version?

ILikeSlugs

Community Answer

The demo version is the same as the paid version; however, there are quite a few limits. For example, you cannot play for any longer than 100 minutes, which is equal to five in-game days. You can also play on only one seed and you are locked into survival mode. The point of the demo is for new players to try out the game and see what it's like before paying for the full version, which is a bit expensive.

Question

I have the TLauncher but cant play online, what do I do?

7e12 7e12

Community Answer

You need to play on special "offline-mode" servers for launchers like TLauncher or SKLauncher and you can find a list of these servers by searching for servers that support "cracked".

Question

I tried downloading with "TLauncher" but, it didn't work. It said that is was downloaded from an external website and that it won't be opened because it may be unsafe.

ILikeSlugs

Community Answer

That means that you probably downloaded a virus along with TLauncher. Your system is just trying to protect your computer by not opening the file. But if you don't mind getting a virus, you could probably deactivate your antivirus software and then open TLauncher.

Question

Can you go on creative mode?

ILikeSlugs

Community Answer

You are stuck in survival mode in the demo, but you can play any game mode in T Launcher. You are also stuck in creative mode in the online version, only you can't fly because flight wasn't in the classic version of Minecraft.

Question

If I use TLauncher can I play with players that use the real version?

Community Answer

On the big servers, like Hypixel, Mineplex, 2b2t, etc., no. But you could set up a 'cracked' server for you and your friends to play, which would could be joined by premium and cracked users.

Question

Why can't I play on multiplayer servers on TLauncher?

B Chen

Community Answer

The tips say that "pirated versions of the game can suffer from connectivity issues which can make multiplayer unplayable." This could be why TLauncher is not allowing you to play servers.

I got Minecraft on my phone, but now that I have a computer, do I need to buy it all over again?

Yes, you do. Different versions of Minecraft are not cross-platform compatible, and you'll need to buy the game again if you start playing on a different platform.
