Three steps, mostly waiting.
Run the installer
Windows may show a SmartScreen notice for new apps. Click “More info” → “Run anyway”. You can pick the install folder.
Sign in with Microsoft
Use the account that owns Minecraft: Java Edition. The sign-in happens on Microsoft's own page — we never see your password.
Press Play
The first launch downloads Java 8 and the game files (around 250 MB). After that it opens in seconds.
Requirements
Runs on most PCs that run Minecraft.
If vanilla Minecraft opens on your machine, Solar will too — and faster. You don't need Java installed beforehand.
