If you own a Chromebook, "Minecraft: Java Edition" is available to you via Linux. Here's how to download and install the popular game on a Chromebook.

The Java Edition is exclusive to PC, Mac, and Linux systems. Bedrock Editionsm, though, are supported by PC, mobile, and various consoles — which includes the Xbox One, PS4, Switch, 360, and PS3.

Both Minecraft Bedrock and Java Edition constantly get updates from Mojang. The company is constantly working on a popular sandbox game, releasing frequent updates to improve the gameplay experience.

Rather than enrolling in a dedicated beta program, Minecraft: Java Edition allows you to select a slice of pre-release software for you to try.
