FAQ

Questions.

Is MONO free?

Yes. MONO is free and has no ads.

Do I need to own Minecraft?

Yes, to play online you sign in with the Microsoft account that owns Minecraft: Java Edition.

Windows says "Windows protected your PC". Is that safe?

MONO is not code-signed yet, so Windows does not know the publisher. Click More info → Run anyway to install.

Where are my worlds and mods stored?

Every instance has its own folder. Open it from the instance page with the folder button.
