Last updated
Ever wondered exactly where you can find the Minecraft launcher on your device? You’re not alone! This question puzzles many players looking to dive into the vast world of Minecraft.
So, let’s get right to it. Where does this gateway to endless adventures reside on your computer or device?
The Short Answer: It Depends on Your Device
The location of the Minecraft launcher depends on what type of device you’re using. Each platform has its unique path to starting up Minecraft. However, generally, you’ll find it through the main program file directory on PCs and Macs, or in the app lists on consoles and mobile devices.
On a Windows PC, you’ll typically find the launcher in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft Launcher folder. Mac users, on the other hand, can locate the launcher in the Applications folder, just like most other apps. For gaming consoles like the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and 5, and the Nintendo Switch, as well as mobile devices running on Android and iOS, the launcher is simply the game itself found within your list of installed applications or games.
