No affiliation
minecraft.co.com and Minecraft Free Launcher are not approved, sponsored or operated by Mojang or Microsoft.
Demo boundary
The community profile starts the official demo mode. The word free describes the launcher software and demo workflow, not ownership of the complete game.
Historical versions and mods
Old builds, snapshots, loaders and mods can crash, corrupt worlds or expose incompatible code. Use separate directories, trusted sources and backups.
External links and services
Links to official documentation and third-party projects are provided for context. We do not control their availability, content, privacy or security.
Technical information
Guides describe tested and documented behavior but cannot cover every hardware, driver or mod combination. Confirm critical steps against the linked primary source.
