Minecraft.net is the official website for the Minecraft franchise. It allows users to sign up, play, and buy Minecraft games, provides links to related community sites (including the Minecraft WikiTemplate:Citation needed), and is also where players can download the Minecraft:Minecraft Launcher and Minecraft:server client.

Applet pages
Template:MainDuring development of Minecraft: Java Edition Classic, the Minecraft.net website was used to host several Java applets that allowed early versions for the game to played in a web browser as long as the computer system had the appropriate Java runtime environment installed.
Minecraft.com
Prior to 2022, the web domain "Minecraft.com" was owned and operated by an Australian mining consulting company called "MineCraft Consulting Pty Ltd." The company was founded in 1993 and began using the name "MineCraft Consulting" in 2001. The company registered the domain name "Minecraft.com" in 2003, although they didn't start using it as their primary website until 2011, instead relying on the domain "Minecraft.com.au".
In 2022, the domain was acquired by Microsoft through their domain services partner Template:Wikipedia and was changed to redirect to Minecraft.net. MineCraft Consulting returned to conducting business through their old "Minecraft.com.au" domain.
