Do you have to delete mods to update?

Question

How do I get an instant update?

Andrew Plays

Community Answer

This depends on what system you have. If you have: Console Editions: it should prompt you to update the game or Pocket Edition (PE): look for updates from the app where you bought the game.

Question

How do I update minecraft I've downloaded from Google?

Lj1502

Community Answer

Just search for the latest version of Minecraft PE and download it. Before you can install the new version, you have to uninstall your old one. Back up everything you have, so you do not lose everything.

Question

Is the Acer Cloud laptop a Mac - because it's very slow on Minecraft?

Community Answer

The model of a computer doesn't have anything to do with the OS or how fast MC runs on your computer. Either the internet connection is bad, or the computer itself is not running fast enough.

Samsung tablets use Minecraft PE or the new Console Edition. The steps should be the same as method 3.

Go to your tablet's App Store and search Minecraft, then find it, purchase it, and download it. Not all tablets are compatible with Minecraft: Pocket Edition.

How do you update Minecraft Windows 10 edition?

Kenneth Blake Sweezy

Community Answer

You must have a Mojang account paired with your Minecraft.net account first. Then, go to your Mojang account page and look for an option to DOWNLOAD Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition. It will give you a download code to use in the Windows Store.

How do I update Minecraft Pocket Edition?

Community Answer

It should auto-update, but if you are playing an Alpha or Classic version of the game, you may need to buy Minecraft from the App Store or Google Play.

Question

How do I update Minecraft PC (2018) if it doesn't update automatically?

CaptianYaya

Community Answer

The new Minecraft launcher should, by default, update the game. Try going into the launcher settings and make sure the directory you are playing on is on "newest version," as that will make the game update automatically.
