How To Download Minecraft For Free

Yeah you read that correctly, it really does say how to download Minecraft for free. Not many want to pay for a game they can play for zero bucks. Same is the case with Minecraft.

There is an official launcher available of the game but third party launchers tend to be more popular because they are well, free. This article will guide you through the process of downloading Minecraft for free.

The launcher i will be talking about is known as Tlauncher and it is the foremost choice of players who just want to play the game. So first of all, what’s a launcher, well according to the fandom :

“The Minecraft launcher is the login and downloader front-end to the Minecraft client. It is responsible for downloading the main Java packages such as minecraft.jar, which holds the code and resources, and LWJGL”.

Long story short, it is a program that makes it possible for you to play the game. There are quite a few popular launchers out there, but Tlaucher in my opinion is the most favoured. The steps to download and run it are written below
