Minecraft New Launcher: How To Download And Install For Snapshot 21w44a

The new Minecraft launcher is now available to download and install following the release of snapshot 21w44a.

Mojang's iconic video game remains very popular. The good thing is that Java Edition of the Xbox Game Pass has joined for November. And this is a particularly good month for Microsoft loyalists as Forza Horizon 5 and GTA San Andreas Remastered are also joining the subscription service's library.

Xbox Game Pass users will now be able to download the Java Edition free of charge, but players on PC can also install an update.

How to download and install the new Minecraft launcher

The new Minecraft launcher cannot be downloaded on Windows 10 after May 2019's update or Windows 11.

It is completely free and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store. All it does is allow you to launch the base game, Java Edition, and Dungeons from the same place.

There are a few caveats that you should know about, though. Yurock Story Mode is not available via the launcher since it's no more supported. Education Edition is also unavailable and must be downloaded.
