Minecraft on Windows 8 full guide!

Windows 8 has been out for awhile and people have said Minecraft does not work. But the truth is it does! And I get around 20fps more then with Windows 7! So I wrote this guide to show you how to install Minecraft, mods and texture packs!

How to install Minecraft:

  1. Go to your favorite web browser and go to minecraft.net.
  2. Click 'Download' under 'Play Now button.
  3. Click minecraft.exe.
  4. Click 'Save'.
  5. When it's done press 'Open'!
  6. Enjoy!
How to pin Minecraft to Start screen:

  1. Go to the 'Desktop' app.
  2. Click 'File Explorer'.
  3. Locate where Minecraft.exe saved at. For me it was in 'Downloads'.
  4. Right-Click minecraft.exe and press 'Pin to Start'.
  5. Voila it is now pinned to the start screen!
How to locate .minecraft (If you want to install mods/texturepacks/snapshots):

  1. Go to the start screen.
  2. Type %appdata%
  3. Hit enter.
  4. There you are! Now just click .minecraft and use it just like Windows XP-7 would!
