If you have downloaded minecraft launcher without buying the game, unfortunately you can not plat the game, you must buy the game first then you can play minecraftThe new minecraft is currently in beta, but you can pay to play beta. The old mine craft is free. You can find it by going to Minecraft's website.
You can download them without buying minecraft, you'll just have no use though.
The regular download as of Minecraft 1.8 is the Beta Minecraft. The last Minecraft update I believe will be the "Final" product and official game and no longer be a game in Beta.
According to the official Minecraft site, you have to purchase the game to play it.
The Minecraft game can be played for free, as a beta version, on the Minecraft website. This version does not require the user to download any files.
When the full Minecraft game is released you will have it if you buy the beta.
By buying the game or getting the game from people.
Minecraft is no longer in the Alpha stage. It has been updated to Minecraft Beta. Update your Minecraft game client.
When Minecraft first came out you could get Minecraft for free. Now that Minecraft has entered Beta version you have to pay for it.
In 1.8 Beta.
No, it is not. Minecraft Beta is the newest version of minecraft. In order to get it, you must pay for it. You can play a free version called minecraft classic though.
Minecraft is an INCREDIBLE game and I seriously recommend you buying it. You should buy the alpha version (the third, and earliest stage of a game's development) because it is half-off while it is in alpha. Once it hits beta (the next, and second-to-last stage in a game's development) it will be full price. It is $13 dollars now, but when it hits beta it, will be $30.
