Once you buy it you own it. Therefore you will receive all the updates that Mojang makes.
Nope. It's mostly free. You just have to purchase the game to play the full version.
There is no age limit, as long as you buy an account you have one.
all the minecraft mods are virus free as long as you dont install then incorrectly
As long as you have a legit, paid version of Minecraft, joining and hosting a server is 100% free.
No, Minecraft is not free. You should buy it now, before the full version comes out.
There is only ever one payment, and that's for premium membership. That lets you play Minecraft's full version 'forever', including all future updates.
Mojang updates minecraft when they feel the patch's are ready. It seems it averages around 3 months. It's been updated in little as 1 month and as long as 5+ months.
You can play Minecraft from as many computers as you want as long as you log in on each one from your account.
up to this point, i've never heard of mods costing any money? they're all free, as long as you have minecraft installed (which you can also get cracked for free)
The updates are free as long as you have the base game. However, the christmas themed one and other versions are separate games.
No, it is a one-time purchase that lasts a lifetime, there are no additional fees for updates, or renewals, etc.
As long as you get it from the Mojang website then yes it's safe.
