Is there any way to play multiplayer on servers like Hypixel through Tlauncher?

Tlauncher cannot connect to multiplayer on Minecraft, as it is blocked. If you really want to play multiplayer it's a good idea to purchase Minecraft, as Tlauncher could be illegal in your region.

If you have 360 Minecraft you should be able to reinstall Minecraft on either the Xbox One or any console that supports bedrock edition. Counting that you went to Mojang's site and got the bedrock edition for free.

Question

How do I download Minecraft Pocket Edition for free?

Community Answer

There are free editions of Minecraft Pocket Edition but most of them have a lot of bugs, glitches and viruses so it is best not to download them. Instead, download the legal version on App Store or on Google Play, which costs money but it's not that much. Use your birthday money or do additional chores to earn more money.
