Don't bother buying from amazon

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

Purchased on amazon, but code wouldn't redeem with Mojang (that's the parent company for Minecraft). Since is non-refundable, basically just wasted my money here since I had to buy through Mojang to get it downloaded onto my kid's computer for Christmas.

Was the same price on Mojang (and, of course, it worked when buying from them) so I wouldn't bother purchasing here.

Try a different browser if the code doesn't work!

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

I gave this as a gift today and the code didn't work. Not with dashes, or without dashes, always copied and pasted, nothing we could think of made it work. Kept getting an "invalid" notification. After an hour or so of trying different things and searching for answers, it occurred to me to try another browser to enter the code at mojang.com. THAT worked.

This should be NO stars. The code I was given was not recognized by the mojang site, tried all of the suggestions and instructions, but no dice after over an hour of effort. How can this cheat not be redressed, Amazon?

unable to download, extraordinarily frustrating purchase

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have been trying to download this for two days and still have not been successful because I cannot even set up an account on account.mojang.com and every time I try to contact their support, the page says that it thinks that I am spam so enter in a code, but the code does not show. I have had apple support try to help me to no avail, amazon doesn't allow returns and I can't get in touch with mojang, so I am entirely out of luck and my son is super sad that this "Santa" gift doesn't work. What a waste of money

1.13 Aquatic update is out! Game gave countless hours of entertainment

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

For about $25 you are grandfathered into basically all future updates. Can play with the Java client on Mac and PC. I bought this for a friend so they could play with me in the extra Realms feature (Realms is the available Mojang provided server subscription service, takes care of all the technical challenges of playing with your friends online). I originally bought it more than 7 years ago, still have an account, still get access to the new updates. Aquatic update 1.13 and the changes since the game was acquired by Microsoft have been loyal to Notch's vision and only improved my game experience. Keep up the good work Jeb and company. Makes an excellent gift.

It's Minecraft, it's crazy awsome, I can't believe I ever panned it.

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

OK, I'm late to the party. I'm a 42 year old engineer who has been playing computer games since Lemonade Stand on my Apple II+. I remember thinking Zork was awesome. For those who don't know, neither of those games actually had graphics...

So, when I started hearing about Minecraft I thought, "Huh?" I piddled with it a little and it was this clunky looking Java based game and I couldn't really understand the appeal it. I derided it as a jumbled up, incoherent mess, and I wasn't really wrong, but... I hate being wrong. My son started getting older. We bought Minecraft on the PC. We bought Pocket Edition on his Kindle Fire. I installed a private server for him and his friends on our Synology Rackstation (see my blog page about how to to do that). I even played a little while testing those things. Still: meh.

Somehow about 3 months ago my son, now almost 9, sucked me in. Geez. We're now on our "Mark II" Pocket Edition survival world sharing between his Kindle Fire and my Windows 10 Beta version, and we have a system of rails, lava motes, redstone equipment (omigosh, I'm tediously creating digital systems!?!) and I'm completely hooked.... So, I stepped up and bought a 2nd PC copy because the Pocket Edition doesn't quite cut it, and I want to play on our server.

The digital purchase on Amazon works as expected. No complaints. The price is the same as elsewhere but if you have a reason to buy things on Amazon then buying here makes sense.

As for the game, it's still a bit of a mess, but it's a fun mess, and no, the graphics aren't complicated, but we've gotten too obsessed with graphics and forgotten about gameplay. Zork is still awesome. So is Minecraft.

Note: The full "PC" (Java) version of Minecraft includes a free copy of the Windows 10 Edition. The Windows 10 edition is based on Pocket Edition, which is great if you want to play with people using tablets from your computer (we host the world on the computer when doing this, so it does the hard work):

Research Which Version Is Right, and Google How To Play Multiplayer

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

This Java Edition is the best for playing on computers! My family and I have a blast playing on our old PC and Mac laptops together on our local network. Finding each other isn't easy. We have to do a Direct Connection and type in the host computer's IP Address and the LAN game number. Had to Google the solution to find it.

Minecraft has multiple versions which aren't easy for people to figure out which to invest in. This Java Edition is the original before Microsoft bought it, and it works the best across computers. There's a Windows 10 Edition, a Pocket Edition, iPad and Android versions, etc. etc. which all work a certain way. Some let you play with XBox consoles. Note the PS4 version only allows you to play with others on PS4 consoles.

This claims it’s compatible with Windows 10 but Mohammed just forces you to the Microsoft store which WILL NOT accept this code. I found this out tonight. I now own a code that I cannot use! And seeing as there are no refunds I am screwed.
VERY misleading!
This is robbery.

Don't buy it on amazon if you are buying it for a kid - multi hour wasted warning

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

If you are buying this for a kid under 13 buy it direct from the minecraft people or you will get into the look I got into.

I created an account for my daughter and tried to install it. At this point it demanded that I create an account for me and pay 10p to check that I was an adult. Ok, I guess. But then it absolutely would not let me pay the 10p to conform the account without buying another copy of minecraft. I obviously strayed in some minor way in the install and it went down a path it can't get out of. The minecraft support people took 4 days to get back to me and had obviously not even read my email. They asked for information I had already sent them in the original message.

I now cannot log into the accounts on the machine I want to install to (a iMac) as every time I try to log in it skips the login pace. I've cleared the cache and nothing.

This was something I thought would take 2 mins. More fool me. I've spent hours on this and guess what..

There is no apparent refund path. Very frustrated and with a 7 year old that's been in tears over this more than once.

Wenn ihr vor dem Download der Vollversion die Demo hattet ist es möglich dass ihr nach der Eingabe vom Code weiter nur die Demo zu verwenden wird. Wenn das der Fall ist meldet euch einfach im Minecraft Launcher von eurem Mojang Konto ab und wieder ein.

No issues, excellent game

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

Minecraft is positively one of the best games I've ever played, and I've enjoyed it from my childhood all the way through to adulthood. The possibilities are endless, and even if you've played the vanilla game to completion there's a huge community behind it that have created countless fantastic mods and multiplayer servers which extend your game time more or less forever.

I would recommend buying the official game codes like this one instead of the cheap accounts you see on Ebay as those ones are actually accounts that have been stolen from other people and resold (which explains their confusingly low price)

Keine Hilfe auf Deutsch, deshalb lange Suche.

Reviewed in Germany on September 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

Ich habe das Spiel für mein Kind gekauft. Sie hatte die Demo-Version bereits. Sie war angemeldet, als sie auf "Mincraft kaufen" klickte und dann den Code eingab. Das Spiel wurde herunter geladen und wir installierten es. Aber es lief weiter nur die Demo-Version. Da es keine deutsche Hilfsseite gibt, suchten wir auf der Amazon-Seite in den Bewertungen. Das brachte nicht viel. Aus Verzweiflung am nächsten Tag wieder Suche auf der englischen Hilfsseite. Dort wurde dann erklärt, man müsse sich mit der Email-Adresse registrieren - also auch die Eltern, mit der man das Spiel gekauft hat. Außerdem solle das Kind sich nicht mit seinem Spielernamen, sondern mit seiner Emailadresse beim Spiel anmelden. Nachdem wir das so gemacht hatten, war endlich doch die richtige Spielversion da.
Das Spiel gefällt meinem Kind sehr gut. Aber in Zukunft werden wir Spiele nicht mehr online kaufen, sondern nur noch auf DVD.

Amazon were selling Minecraft cheaper than Microsoft were. Instantly stores your download code on Amazon and no problems whatsoever. Download from Minecraft official website and works on both my PC and Mac. The game is perfect for anyone, children and adults alike. Creativity, exploration, building. This Java version allows for heavy modding and multiplayer servers that you can find anywhere on the internet. The game is whatever you make of it.
