Do you need to buy minecraft to play with other people?

I've been playing the cracked one, do I need to buy it to be able to play with other people? How much is it in £'s? Any other information you have would be great thanks

I think that you do have to buy the full version. When i only played on the demo version i couldn't do multiplayer, but i once you get the full version you can. I can't help you with the amount, because i only know that's it's $20 in America.

You need to buy the full version of minecraft to play with other people. It is very affordable. Once you bought the game you can search for other peoples servers and build mine explore like you would in single player. You can also make new friends if your that kind of person!

Yeah, you do need to buy it, as of now it's £18, and you can pay through paypal on https://minecraft.net/...craft.net/
the official website c: Getting the full version means Multiplayer, mods, you own persona servers w/ friends etc
