    A Step-by-Step Guide

    How to get Minecraft:
    Our Server is a Minecraft Server, therefore you need to have a Minecraft account before you may join and play. If you don't have a Minecraft account, you can purchase one here. This payment is not a VIP donation, and MinecraftCC (This Server) does not receive a cent of the money paid for your account. Minecraft was created by Mojang and therefore all new accounts are purchased through them. Do you already have a Minecraft account? If so, skip down to " Creating a Forums Account"

    This is the first page you should see when you go to here. You need to click the big "Get Minecraft" button, which will then take you to a new page.

    Now the server is currently running on the latest version, so you may need to click the "Edit Profile" button in the bottom left hand corner. A new window should pop up, and you need to click the drop-down box that says "Use version:" then scroll down until you see the correct option, and click on it. An example is shown below. Now you can close that window, and click the big "Play" button.
