Minecraft is the kind of cross-platform game that just keeps getting better. With tons of developer support, and mods a-plenty, there’s several ways you can experience the thrills of building, mining, and avoiding zombies. You’ll even be able to play Minecraft on a Chromebook, and no, it’s not going to fry your new 2-in-1.

Can your Chromebook run Minecraft?
Before we dive into the steps to install and run Minecraft on your Chromebook, we do need to check whether your Chromebook has the necessary hardware for the job. Just like a Windows gaming machine, if your Chromebook isn’t fast enough to run Minecraft, you won’t be able to play it locally — though streaming still remains an option in some cases.
The minimum system requirements to run Minecraft on Chrome OS are as follows:
- Operating System: ChromeOS 111
- 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
- Memory: 4 GB RAM or more
- Storage: Minimum of 1 GB game installation, maps, and other files
If you technically meet these specifications, but you’d like performance to be better when you play, Microsoft has a guide to optimizing Minecraft for Chromebooks, here.
