    Minecraft Classic from browser

    Minecraft free

    You should know that, to coincide with the tenth anniversary of Minecraft, a version of this video game that can be used via any PC web browser, completely free of charge, has been published by the developer Mojang. This version of Minecraft, defined Classic, is the first version of the video game that came out in 2009, defined by Mojang itself as a nostalgic edition for fans.

    For this reason, the gaming experience is nothing like the current one. In fact, the game world, only available in a similar mode to that Creative, is limited and you have only 32 different blocks to use. Furthermore, it is possible to invite up to nine friends, sharing the appropriate link that is generated during the creation of the game map, with which you can interact thanks to an integrated chat system.

    If you are interested in playing Minecraft Classic, what you need to do is reach its official webpage and, on the main screen, type a nickname of your imagination, using the appropriate text box. Via the button Copy, located a little further up, you can instantly copy the session link to share it with your friends and allow them to join you. At this point, press the button Home, to start playing Minecraft Classic for free.
