# Software Requirements 
Minecraft Release 1.6 or newer. Older versions will need to be updated to current versions. 
Note that some users experience issues playing Minecraft while using a mismatched version of Java for their operating system (32 or 64 bit), while using certain versions of Java 7, or while multiple versions of Java are installed. 
Starting from Minecraft 1.12, Java 8 is required to run Minecraft. If you don't know whether you have Java 8, don't worry, our installers supply Minecraft with its own version of Java by default.
