This isn’t because we want to single out some of our players as special (we love you all equally!) – it’s so we can test the game’s performance before we make it available to more players.”
The users of Chromebooks used workarounds to run Minecraft on ChromeOS or else they settled for Minecraft: Education Edition. Linux apps and some manual steps are required on the Chromebook to run the Java version of the game. Additionally, for handling the performance demand, a high-end Chromebook is needed.
