You can install the Bedrock Edition directly from the Google Play Store. Simply open the store, search for Minecraft, and navigate to its page. Be aware that it costs $20, but if you already own the Android version priced at $7, you'll only need to pay an additional $13. This method is ideal for those looking for a straightforward installation process.

However, if the Bedrock Edition doesn't meet your preferences, you're in luck. Since Chrome OS is based on Linux, and Minecraft has long been available for Linux, you can install it on your Chromebook. This method requires a bit more attention to detail due to the differences from Windows, including some coding. We've prepared a detailed guide to help you play Minecraft on your Chromebook in just half an hour.

To begin, you need to activate Developer Mode on your Chromebook. Access the settings menu through the Chrome OS equivalent of the "Start" menu and go to the "Developers" section. Enable the "Linux development environment" option. Follow the prompts on your screen until the process completes, which will open the Terminal—a program similar to the Windows command prompt where you'll continue your work.
