Download Minecraft Education from education.minecraft.net. Mojang’s download page lists Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and iOS options. Choose your device there rather than an unofficial installer.

Can you play Minecraft Education for free?
Mojang describes two options in its free-trial support guide:
| Option | Account | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Demo lessons | No account needed | A limited lesson selection; no saved progress or multiplayer |
| Free trial | An academically verified Microsoft education account | Limited sign-ins before a license is needed |
A personal Microsoft account and a school-issued account are different. Ask your school administrator whether your account qualifies before purchasing a license.
How to start a demo lesson
- Download the app for your device from the official page.
- Install and open Minecraft Education.
- Choose the welcome-screen option to try a demo lesson without an account.
- Review the terms, then start an available lesson.
Locked lessons need a licensed account. The demo cannot load custom worlds or join dedicated servers.
If sign-in or installation fails
Write down the exact error and whether it appeared in the installer or after opening the app. Those are different problems. On a managed school device, send that information to the administrator rather than repeatedly changing account settings.
If the app offers only demos after sign-in, ask the administrator to check the account’s license and eligibility. Reinstalling should not be your first step for an account entitlement issue.
Is this Minecraft in a browser?
Education uses its own app. For Mojang’s older browser building experience, see Minecraft Classic. For planning builds, our circle generator works in your browser independently of either game.
