Do you have to buy Minecraft? - Answers

"Yes, only if you want multiplayer features or any game play other than Classic. There is a way to log in without a username, buy disconnecting your internet beforehand. Otherwise, it is $27 USD" there are other options.... You can pirate it from a website, in which you will learn how to do from YouTube videos and explanations. This will give you the single player version. However, if you use some torrents correctly, (which can be very risky) you can obtain a username without purchasing the game, and play online. Becaue remember, its not the server playing and the game that costs money, it's the username. Another way that I prefer is to obtain it from a friend of yours that has minecraft. Minecraft is an easily stored folder and so if you simply, copy and paste it from a USB into your computer, you'll have an exact copy. Another way to get online with this is to use a program called logmein hamachi, in which you can go on youtube to learn how to download. You use this to either create a new network for you and your friends to use, or join a friends network, so that you guys can play online together. (Note: This is not the same as a premium account. you'll only be able to play on the servers that you are connected to in hamachi. This means you can only play with other people that use hamachi for mc.) As you can see, these are some other options. You can easily get the normal minecraft without having to pay for it. you'll get all the normal features that a paid version gets.
