We already have a detailed tutorial on how to play Minecraft on Chromebook but it uses the Linux container of Chrome OS. Setting it up and installing all the required libraries is not everyone’s cup of tea. Also, the Java edition of Minecraft does not work well on Intel-powered Chromebooks. So if you have an ARM-powered Chromebook and want to play Minecraft then this guide is for you. This method allows you to seamlessly install Minecraft Java Edition on ARM-powered Chromebooks through the Play Store. So on that note, let’s jump to the guide and learn about the steps.
Before we begin, make sure your Chromebook has support for Play Store. School-issued Chromebooks won’t be able to utilize this trick due to the lack of Play Store support. However, the best part is that you don’t need to move to Developer mode.
- Once you have logged in, click the “Play” button. It will start downloading all the necessary files for Minecraft Java Edition and the Java Runtime Environment on your Chromebook.
