Hello and today I will be telling you how to get Minecraft For Free. BUT DO REMEMBER THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TRY THE GAME OR WHO DON'T HAVE A PAYPAL DON'T BE GREEDY BUY THE GAME (All download's at the bottom)
Now onto the tutorial. I will give you 2 ways to get Minecraft. One way is to download MinecraftSp.exe which is just a launcher that lets you play MC (Which i would suggest for those who want to just try the game) And then you can get
MineShafter. Which is another launcher that this time lets you login with your minecraft account this launcher is the only way to show other people your skins on Multiplayer (But only people who are using that launcher can see your skin)
Now here is how to play on Mineshafter. Go to
http://mineshafter.appspot.com/ Log in with your google account (If you dont have one make one) After that hover over your username (where the log in was) and click settings then click change for the connected username and put in your REAL MINECRAFT.NET ACCOUNT (yeah for caps) and then use the mineshafter launcher and login in with your connect account and you should be able to play (You can change skin my downloading a skin and click change in your account settings
Now here is how to make a minecraft server. Make a folder (Called whatever you want) then download The minecraft server file at the bottom. Put the file in the folder and open it. It should put a bunch of files in your folder.
Now is for how to play online. To play online with those launchers is very easy just set the sever to offline mode which does not check if the user has a real minecraft account or not to do this you open the server.properties in your Minecraft server folder and set online-mode=false. Then connect to the server by hamachi.. Hamachi is a program that will let you make private servers. When you open it up it should show an ip near the power button that will be (If you are the host) Server ip. But wait first you have to make (or join) a group. Click the network button and click create network then simply put the name and password (most would be 123) and then open the the server.properties folder and put the server-ip= as whatever is your hamachi. Then who ever is in your group can join. Also for mineshafter you have to keep your client proxy file in the same folder as your mineshafter launcher and the server proxy file with your server folder
Note there is a way without hamachi but the file is not updated to 1.5 yet so when that is i will tell you how to play without hamachi but for know that is all
