I love this game. I always play this when I arrive at school with my friends. Me and my friends and I made dupe machines. I would love it if we could change our usernames!

L don't like to purchase a trial for it. When I was about to create my account, they only gave me 3 trials but my friend got 9 then I didn't play and uninstalled this game. I think it would be better if this Minecraft game was free to download and there was no need to buy a trial. This game is for school children, it only bothers parents who want to let their children play this game.
