General Information About Minecraft on a Chromebook

For optimal Minecraft performance on a Chromebook, these minimum specifications are recommended:

• 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

These are minimum requirements; performance may vary. Addressing performance issues is covered later in this guide.

The easiest installation method is via the Google Play Store. Simply search for "Minecraft," purchase the Bedrock Edition (note: this may require an additional purchase if you already own the Android version), and install.

However, if you prefer alternative methods, Chrome OS's Linux compatibility offers another route. This method requires more technical steps, detailed below.

Enabling Developer Mode

Before installing via Linux, enable Developer Mode. Access your Chromebook's settings (usually via the system tray), navigate to the "Developers" section, and enable the "Linux development environment." Follow the on-screen prompts. Upon completion, the Terminal will open, ready for further commands.
