General Information About Minecraft on a Chromebook

For a smooth Minecraft experience on your Chromebook, aim for these minimum specifications:

• System Architecture: 64-bit (x86_64, arm64-v8a)
• Processor: AMD A4-9120C, Intel Celeron N4000, Intel 3865U, Intel i3-7130U, Intel m3-8100Y, Mediatek Kompanio 500 (MT8183), Qualcomm SC7180 or better
• RAM: 4 GB
• Storage: At least 1 GB of free space

These are minimum requirements. If performance is still lagging, we'll offer troubleshooting tips later. Let's dive into installation!

The easiest route is installing the Bedrock Edition directly from the Google Play Store. Simply search for Minecraft, and you'll find it. Note that it costs $20 (or $13 if you already own the Android version). This is a convenient option, especially if you want a quick and hassle-free setup.

However, if you prefer other versions, remember Chrome OS is Linux-based, and Minecraft has long been compatible. Installation requires a bit more technical know-how, as it differs from Windows. We'll guide you through it step-by-step.

Enabling Developer Mode

First, you need to enable Developer Mode. Access your Chromebook's settings (similar to a "Start" menu), navigate to the "Developers" section, and enable the "Linux development environment." Follow the on-screen prompts. Once complete, the Terminal (similar to Windows' command prompt) will open, ready for the next steps.
