Still on the fence about picking up Minecraft?

Maybe you tried the free one and thought it was crap.

You're not alone.

The thing is, the current "free" Minecraft is years old and is no longer maintained. The Minecraft that everyone plays and everyone talks about is the one you have to pay for. Sucks, eh?

Well, now you can play Minecraft, for free, in all its glory, for 100 minutes in its new Demo mode. Simply register for an account at minecraft.net, download the game, and sign in. The game will detect that your account is not a premium (read: paid) account and will offer up the demo mode.

Pretty neat.

Happy Minecrafting.
