DetailsCollapse
Setup takes a minute: download the Android launcher, sign in with Microsoft or pick a username, and choose a version. The right Java and libraries download on their own. A phone with 4 GB of memory or more is comfortable for vanilla, and heavy modpacks or shaders want 8 GB. If the game crashes, the launcher offers a Repair button.
For iPhone and iPad the honest answer is different: there is no iOS launcher. You can buy Bedrock in the App Store, or install Java Edition on a computer, and this page will send the link to your PC. Friends on a phone and on a computer can share one server if it accepts your game version.
