How to play Minecraft.io free in your browser

Press play on this page and pick a world or a mini-game lobby. There is nothing to install.
Move with WASD (or on-screen sticks on a phone) and look with the mouse or a touch drag.
Mine and interact by aiming at blocks, trees, ore, chests or NPCs, then use the attack / use controls shown in-game.
Open the inventory and craft menus to turn raw materials into tools, armor and building pieces.
Stash early loot somewhere safe before you leave the hub or queue a PvP mini-game.

You can try public play without an account. Create an account on the official Mine-Craft.io site only if you want saved progress across sessions.

First 5 minutes in Minecraft.io

Wood and stone first. Chop trees, then craft a basic axe and pickaxe before you roam.
Food next. Eat to recover health so a single mob hit does not end the run.
Simple armor. Even light armor beats going unarmored when night falls or another player tags you.
Safe stash. Park extras in a quiet chest before caves or PvP areas.
Then choose: careful cave mining, a featured build, or a short mini-game once movement and inventory feel familiar.

Minecraft.io modes and worlds

There are three main modes. Survival PvE is the safest place to start. Creative gives infinite resources for building. Survival PvP is the same loop, but other players can attack you.

Shared worlds include the Overworld (a public hub with a safer centre), Cave, Dungeon, Nether, End and the high-risk Death Cave. Mini-games include BedWars, SkyWars, Duels, SkyBlock, OneBlock, Zombies, Spleef and Knockout. For the full mode list and early-game priorities, use the MineCraft.io guide.
