Minecraft has gained extraordinary popularity among gamers in just three or four years of its existence. The number of his fans has long passed the ten-million mark, and this regiment is still coming. However, many beginners find it difficult to even install the game correctly.
It is necessary
- - Java
- - installer for the desired version of Minecraft
Instructions
Step 1
Minecraft will not be able to function without the Java software platform, so install it first (if you have not already done so). Download the latest version from the manufacturer's official website for free, choosing the one that suits the bitness of your operating system. Having installed Java, go to its Control panel (through the control panel, which you will find in the start menu of the computer) and immediately enter the required RAM parameters in the line with Runtime Parameters - how much you want to allocate for the game (it is allowed to install them at a level below the total RAM). This is necessary for it to function without errors.
Step 2
Find on any reliable "minecraft" resource the installer of the game client of the version that you need. Run a document with the.exe extension to begin installation. In this case, Minecraft will automatically be installed in the directory where it should be located. If you have only a zipped folder without any visible exe files, you will need to redirect its contents to the appropriate directory yourself. How exactly to do this depends on which version of Windows you have.
Step 3
If you have to deal with XP, go to the start menu of your computer, find the Run line there and enter% AppData% in it. You can try to find the folder you want in a slightly different way. Go to C: / Documents and Settings in the folder with your username and find the Application Data directory there. Copy the game files there. If you do everything correctly, a new folder will be formed at the above address -.minecraft.
Step 4
For Windows 7 or Vista, copy the files from the game installation archive to another location on your computer. Go to drive C, go there to the directory with users and click on the folder with your name. To open it correctly, click on the address bar in this window. The resulting address should end with AppData / Roaming. This is the directory needed to install Minecraft. Press Enter - and the game folder will appear there.
Step 5
If, after the above actions, the gameplay does not start, and an error message with the video card drivers is displayed on the screen, it means that they are simply outdated or have not been installed at all. Correct this mistake by downloading and installing the appropriate software. Now open Minecraft, start creating a new world in it, adjusting its settings (mode, difficulty level, etc.) and enjoy the game.
