If you want to enjoy the full version of the game, buying Minecraft Premium is the only way. The free version is actually a demo version that includes a tutorial and a small snippet of the game, but does not allow you to, for example, save yourprogress or test the many features offered by Minecraft.

You can also install modifications (mods) and personalised resource packs that enhance the gaming experience.
