Once ready to run, players are welcomed with an eye-catching dashboard that can detect all local versions of Minecraft. To get Minecraft Launcher up and running on any modern Windows 10 and 11 Windows desktop or laptop PC (due to their system requirements, all of them are perfectly capable of running Minecraft games), players simply have to download and run the automated installer. This includes the ability to play them in a cross-play environment, no matter what platform the player is using. The launcher does not include the games themselves (which still have to be individually purchased) and it does not restrict their functionality. Just so you know, by downloading any of the software on this page, you agree to the Minecraft End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy.Minecraft Launcher is an optional game utility that allows Windows 10 and Windows 11 players to have one unified dashboard from which they can start modern Minecraft titles such as Minecraft for Windows, Minecraft: Java Edition, and Minecraft Dungeons.
