General Information About Minecraft on a Chromebook
To ensure stable gameplay, your Chromebook should meet the following 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
If your device meets these requirements but still experiences lag, don't worry—we'll provide a guide at the end to help you optimize performance. Now, let's dive into the installation process.
You can directly install the Bedrock Edition from the Google Play Store, which is straightforward: open the store, search for Minecraft, and navigate to its page. Note that it costs $20, but if you already own the Android version ($7), you'll only need to pay an additional $13. This method is ideal for those who prefer a quick and easy installation.

However, if the Bedrock Edition isn't your cup of tea, you're in luck. Since Chrome OS is based on Linux, you can install the Linux version of Minecraft. This process requires more attention to detail due to the differences from Windows, including some coding. We've prepared a detailed guide to help you get Minecraft running on your Chromebook in just half an hour.

To start, you'll need to enable Developer Mode on your Chromebook. Navigate to the settings menu, similar to the "Start" menu on Windows, and find the "Developers" section. Enable the "Linux development environment" option and follow the on-screen instructions. Once complete, the Terminal will open, which is similar to the command prompt in Windows and where you'll continue the installation process.
