Minecraft Forums

So I just bought and downloaded minecraft and it is not working or i am confused.
This is what i did:
1. Bought Minecraft.
2. Went to E-mail.
3. Downloaded the Windows version.
4.Started it up.
5. Logged in.

Then it showed me a screen with a list of all the updates and at the bottom it said "Play Demo".
Whats up with that? Please tell me what to do or what i did wrong. I am really exited about playing Minecraft so please answer soon! Thanks guys!

So, I just have to wait until that screen changes to something like "Play Now"? That's doable, I gues I can hold my exitement a little longer. But guess what? I played the demo and there was this huge cave with a room with 2 chests with awesome loot and a skeleton spawner and an abandoned mineshaft but i tried to get on it but i fell into some lava. I'm looking for a desert temple too, I heard they have the best loot.

It didn't work yet...are you sure that's the problem?

If you're not able to play the full game now, then it's possible your payment hasn't processed. You should have received a transaction ID and an invitation to set a profile name if your purchase was successful, let us know if you have (but don't post your ID).
Check with your payment method (e.g. PayPal, or credit card provider) if you've been charged -- if you haven't been charged and haven't received your transaction ID, then you may need to purchase the game again.
