Can You Play Minecraft on a Google Chromebook?
Last updated
Ever wondered if you can play Minecraft on your Google Chromebook? Let’s dive into that question, shall we?
So, you’ve got a Google Chromebook and you’re itching to build some virtual worlds in Minecraft. You’re probably asking yourself, ‘Can I play Minecraft on this sleek machine?’
Short Answer: Yes, But with a Twist
Yes, you can play Minecraft on a Google Chromebook, but it’s not as straightforward as on other devices. Let’s break it down.
Chromebooks run Chrome OS, which doesn’t natively support the Java version of Minecraft. However, there are workarounds. One popular method is to use Linux (Beta) on your Chromebook, allowing you to install the Linux version of Minecraft. Another option is streaming Minecraft through game streaming services. Also, the bedrock version of Minecraft is available via the Google Play Store for Chromebooks that support Android apps.
