Wondering how to keep your Minecraft game fresh and up-to-date on your computer? You’re in the right spot!

If you’re asking, “How do I update Minecraft on my computer?”, we’ve got you covered with a simple guide.

Quick Steps to Update Minecraft

Updating Minecraft on your computer is quite straightforward. If you’re using the Minecraft Launcher for PC or Mac, it usually updates the game automatically. When you open the launcher, it checks for updates and if there’s one available, it’ll download and install it for you. Simple, right?

If for some reason the game doesn’t update automatically, you can manually check for updates within the launcher. Just open the launcher, go to the ‘Installations’ tab, hover over your game version, and click the ‘More Options’ button. Then, select ‘Check for updates’. If an update is available, follow the prompts to download and install it.
