Pick how you want to play Minecraft

Survival, creative or multiplayer — three ways into the same game, one click each. Switch any time; every world is stored separately.

Survival

Mine, craft and outlast the night in a world that keeps everything you build. Hunger, mobs and boss fights — the full loop.

Creative

Every block unlocked, flight on, nothing hostile. The right mode for megabuilds, pixel art and redstone experiments.

Multiplayer

Join a public Eaglercraft server or open your own world and hand friends a join code — no port forwarding, no launcher.

Built to open instantly and stay out of the way

No Java, no launcher, no admin rights — the game is a web page. That's why it runs on the machines that won't let you install anything.

Opens in the tab you already have

The client streams as a web page. No Java runtime, no launcher, no admin rights on the machine — which is exactly why it works on locked-down school laptops.

Every version, one click apart

26.3 for the newest blocks, 1.8.8 for servers, 1.5.2 and the Beta classics for old hardware. Switching versions never touches your saved worlds.

Your worlds stay yours

Saves live in your browser and export as a single .mpsv file whenever you want a backup. Sign in and they sync to your account too.

Multiplayer over a relay

Our relay introduces the two browsers and then steps out of the way — joining a friend costs a five-character code instead of a network setup.

Twice the frame rate

Where your browser supports it, 1.8.8 and 1.12 load as WebAssembly for about twice the frame rate — picked for you automatically.

Works where installs don't

Because there is nothing to install there is no software for a filter to block, which is why MinePlay works on locked-down school laptops and Chromebooks.

Someone's Minecraft world is open right now

Every lit square is a singleplayer world a player has opened to the relay — join with a five-character code, no server to rent.

No shared worlds open right now

0 worlds open now

Shared world openLand

Nobody has one open right now. Open yours in three steps — your own browser hosts it, and it appears on this map the second you publish.

Play Minecraft in your browser — free, no download

Everything worth knowing before you spawn: what runs, where it saves, and how multiplayer works without a launcher.

Minecraft online with nothing to install.

MinePlay serves a full browser build of the sandbox game. There is no launcher, no Java runtime and no admin rights needed — the client downloads once, is cached, and opens straight into a world on the next click. That is what makes it work on locked-down school and office laptops, on Chromebooks, and on any desktop browser with WebGL support.

Survival, creative and multiplayer in one place.

Start a survival world and fight through the first night, switch to creative for an unlimited block palette and flight, or join one of the public Eaglercraft servers for multiplayer. Every mode keeps its own worlds, so testing a build in creative never touches your survival save.

Seven versions, chosen by your hardware.

Minecraft 26.3 brings today's Java Edition to the browser for a fast desktop. 1.8.8 is the recommended default with the fastest chunk loader and full multiplayer — it is also the version most servers run — and 1.12 adds newer blocks and mobs. The 1.5.2 build and the Beta 1.7.3, Beta 1.3 and Indev classics are the lightest and run comfortably on a decade-old machine. Where your browser supports it, 1.8.8 and 1.12 load as WebAssembly for about twice the frame rate.

Worlds saved locally, exportable any time.

Saves are written to your browser storage as you play — no upload and no account required. From your dashboard you can load, rename, export a world as a single .mpsv file or delete it. Signing in adds cloud backups, so clearing your browser does not cost you the base you spent a month on.

Multiplayer without port forwarding.

Open one of your singleplayer worlds to the MinePlay relay and it becomes a shared world: your browser is the server, friends join with a five-character code, and the connection between you is peer to peer. Prefer something that stays up while you sleep? The server list has dedicated Eaglercraft servers, pinged live over wss://.

Free, fan-run and honest about it.

MinePlay is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with Mojang Studios or Microsoft. Playing is free, no account is forced on you, and there are no fake download buttons. If you can buy the official game, buy it — this is for the machines and the moments where you cannot.

Your questions, answered

The questions people actually search for — is it free, does it need a download, will it work on a school Chromebook.

550k+ sessions played on MinePlay · rated 4.3/5 by 22,954 players

Is MinePlay free to play?

Yes — playing Minecraft on MinePlay is completely free, with no account required and nothing to buy. A free account only adds cloud backups and world sync across devices.

Do I need to download or install Minecraft?

No download and no install. The client is a web page: open it and a world loads in seconds. There is no launcher, no Java runtime and no admin rights needed on the machine.

Does Minecraft work unblocked at school?

Usually, yes. Because there is nothing to install there is no software for a filter to block, which is why MinePlay works on locked-down school laptops and Chromebooks. Follow your school's acceptable-use policy and play during free time.

Will it run on a Chromebook or an old laptop?

Yes. Any browser with WebGL will do. On a Chromebook or a machine that's a decade old, pick 1.5.2 or one of the Beta classics — they are the lightest builds. Minecraft 26.3 is the exception: it needs a recent Chrome or Edge on a fast computer.

Is this the real Minecraft?

It is Eaglercraft, an open-source browser port of Minecraft Java Edition compiled to JavaScript and WebAssembly. It plays like the real thing. MinePlay is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with Mojang Studios or Microsoft.

Can I play Minecraft multiplayer with friends for free?

Yes, two ways, both free. Join any server from the live server list, or open one of your own singleplayer worlds as a shared world and hand a friend the five-character join code — no port forwarding and no server to rent.

Where are my worlds saved?

In your browser storage on the device you played on, saved automatically as you go. You can export any world as a single .mpsv file, and signing in backs them up to your account so a cleared browser doesn't cost you anything.
