In order to play the full versions of Minecraft: Java Edition or Minecraft Dungeons, the player must purchase each game respectively on the active account, otherwise they will only have access to the limited demo version of Minecraft: Java Edition. By clicking on it, they can manage or log out of their active account, and see a "Help" page with various links to helpful resources. If the player is using a Microsoft account, this will be their Xbox Gamertag (which may be different than their Minecraft: Java Edition username), otherwise it will be their Minecraft: Java Edition username. The top left corner of the launcher contains the player's currently active account's name. Once logged in, the launcher has a "News" tab which shows the latest news from, a tab for each game, and the launcher "Settings" tab. Subsequent logins can be done in the "Settings" tab. On the initial login screen, the player must log in with a pre-existing Microsoft account, Mojang Studios account, or legacy Minecraft account, otherwise they can create a new Microsoft account by clicking the link.
