Now you can play Minecraft on chromebooks?

You heard that right! Mojang just released an early access version so you can play Minecraft Even on a Chromebook.

Up to this point, you were able to play Minecraft on almost any device including most PC operating systems. But you couldn't play Minecraft on Chromebooks which ran Chrome OS. And that ends now! With this early version, you can play Minecraft even on the Chromebook.

"It shouldn’t come as a surprise that we believe mining and crafting is even more fun when we can all do it together. That’s why we’re excited to announce that today, an early access version of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition is releasing on Chromebook, featuring cross-device play with friends, access to Minecraft Marketplace, and the ability to play on Realms!"

Also, be aware that it is Bedrock edition meaning you won't be able to play on java servers such as Hypixel. But it is still pretty cool to see that now you can play Minecraft on almost every device you have. So get ready and invite your Chromebook friends to play Minecraft with you.

This is an early access version so you might experience some bugs and performance issues.

WHAT DOES “EARLY ACCESS” MEAN?

"Early access means that in this first stage, only selected Chromebook devices that meet the minimum requirements will get the option to buy Minecraft, so you’ll have to check the Google Play Store to see if Minecraft is available for you. This isn’t because we want to single out some of our players as special (we love you all equally!) – it’s so we can test the game’s performance before we make it available to more players."
