Wondering how you can combine the sandbox fun of Minecraft with the convenience of your Steam library? Let’s figure it out together!
So, you want to know how to add Minecraft to Steam. We’ve got you covered!
Quick Guide to Adding Minecraft to Steam
Adding Minecraft to Steam isn’t as hard as finding diamonds in the game, but it does require a few steps. First, you need to have both Minecraft and the Steam client installed on your computer.
Next, open Steam and head to the bottom left corner. Click on ‘Add a Game’ and then choose ‘Add a Non-Steam Game.’ A window will pop up with a list of programs. If Minecraft doesn’t show up, click on ‘Browse’ and find the Minecraft launcher file on your computer. After selecting it, Minecraft will appear in your Steam library as a non-Steam game!
Why Add Minecraft to Steam?
You might be wondering, “Why bother adding Minecraft to Steam?” For starters, it lets you keep all your games in one place. Plus, you can easily access the Steam overlay while playing, which is great for chatting with friends or taking quick screenshots.
Although Minecraft won’t magically turn into a Steam game with achievements and Steam support, having it in your library makes for a smoother, more integrated gaming experience. It’s all about making your gaming life a tad more convenient!
