Verify your email address using the code sent to your inbox. Check your spam folder if you don't receive it promptly. Once verified, your profile is linked to your Microsoft account. You can then purchase the game (if you haven't already) from the website's store, following the purchase instructions.

Upon first launch, log in with your Microsoft account credentials. For solo play, select "Create New World" and choose your game mode: "Survival" (classic experience) or "Creative" (unlimited resources). For multiplayer, navigate to the "Servers" tab in the "Play" section to join public servers or enter a private server's IP address. To play with friends in the same world, enable multiplayer in the world settings.
