Wondering how to keep your Minecraft game up to date on your PC? You’re not alone! Keeping Minecraft updated ensures you have access to all the latest features and bug fixes.

Let’s dive into the simple steps you need to follow to update Minecraft on your PC and keep your crafting game strong!

Quick Steps to Update Minecraft on PC

Updating Minecraft on your PC is a breeze! If you’re using the Minecraft Launcher (applicable for both Java Edition and Windows 10/11 editions), it usually updates the game automatically. When you open the Launcher, it checks for updates and applies them before you start playing.

If for some reason the game doesn’t update automatically, you can manually check for updates. Simply reopen the Launcher, and it should prompt you to update if you’re not on the latest version. For Java Edition, click on the ‘Installations’ tab, then ‘New’ or ‘Edit’, and ensure the version is set to the latest one. For the Windows Edition, the Microsoft Store handles updates, so make sure your Store settings allow for automatic updates.
