Hey, welcome back to the channe;! Today's video is going to be on one of my most
requested topics and that is howto install Minecraft on a Chromebook. Now to
get this going you're gonna need Linux Beta support turned on as well as GPU
acceleration. If you don't know how to do that I have two videos, I'll put a link up in
the corner and down in the description. There's also one more thing you're going
to need to turn on that I'll talk about in the tutorial. If you have any
questions along the way let me know down in the comments section and with all
that out of the way let's jump into this tutorial so here we are in Chrome OS and
again I'm going to assume that you have Linux betas support and the GPU
acceleration turned on now there's one more thing that we want to turn on it's
another flag so if we just go out here and go to Chrome and then slash slash
Flags you want to turn on this pointer lock for Linux applications if you don't
the mouse is not going to lock to the screen so when you move the mouse to the
edge of the screen you're gonna stop turning in the game and it's not gonna
be a good experience so turn that on restart your machine and then come back
for the rest of this install alright so that's all taken care of now let's
download minecraft and get her installed on our Chromebook here so open up Chrome
and go to this minecraft alternatives download this is on the official
minecraft site I'll have a link down in the description this just lets us
quickly get to the version that we want to download to make this work and that
version is the Debian Ubuntu version we want to get this minecraft de Bie so
just click on that it's a super fast download just takes a few seconds and
now that that's downloaded we can just click on this dialog it brings us out to
the Downloads folder and all we need to do is double click on the Minecraft de
Bie file brings up this installer dialog and just click install now we just wait
for just a few seconds it's gonna do its thing it's getting all the dependencies
it's installing the application and once it's done we'll be able to launch it so
we're there we are we're all complete we can either launch it right from here or
if we go into the menu into our Linux apps area you can see we have minecraft
launcher here so you can launch it either way let's just click on that and
login with our credentials now that we're logged in we just want to go ahead
and hit play it's downloading all the files at this point it's just like
installing Minecraft on any other machine I just wanted to let it run and
play a little bit of the game so you can see how well it actually works on this
this Chromebook so here we are it is up and running we can go in and set our
options to let's let's go full screen
I am going to reduce the chunks just a little bit to about 10
and let's just do a new game
just going to do a creative world
and jump in there show you how well this runs on this Chromebook alright so here
we are it's a little laggy at first but once some of the chunks load in we're
good to go and we are in minecraft on a Chromebook
so if you look kind of near the top you can see what how many frames we're
getting right now it's not too great we're only at about nine but as we move
out into this open area we'll get a few more frames now just
like on any other machine you can install Optifine and kind of get a
little more performance out of this or we can go in and tweak the settings a
little more let's go to graphics we'll go to fast maybe lower down the chunks a
little bit more
and turn vsync off see if that helps at all
alright so again Chromebooks are not made for gaming but with a little bit of
tweaking you can get this to run fairly well it's not a gaming machine but if
this is all you have you can run things like minecraft and roblox and some other
games if there's any games that you want to see specifically you want me to test
on this Chromebook let me know if it's a paid game I may or may not do it
depending on if I own it or not but if it's free game then that's totally fine
I'm happy to do it hopefully you found this useful and informative if you did
