This page explains what LeviLauncher needs before it can install and launch Minecraft Bedrock (GDK) versions correctly.
System requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|

Required Windows components
LeviLauncher may guide you through missing components during first launch or before installation.
- Microsoft Gaming Services
- Microsoft GameInput
- WebView2 Runtime
Depending on your Windows setup, you may already have some of them installed.
Before you install a version
Complete this checklist first:
- Install Minecraft Bedrock from Microsoft Store at least once.
- Start the game once if Store installation or Gaming Services still looks incomplete.
- Close the game before using LeviLauncher to install or manage versions.
Installing LeviLauncher itself
Option A: GitHub Releases page
Use this if you want the official LeviLauncher download page together with release notes and changelog context.
- Open the GitHub Releases page for LeviLauncher.
- Download the installer.
- Run it and finish the setup wizard.
Option B: Lanzou mirror
Use this if GitHub download speed is poor in your region.
- Open Lanzou Cloud.
- Use password
levi. - Download the installer and run it locally.
Installing your first managed version
- Open Download inside LeviLauncher.
- Choose Release or Preview for the Minecraft build you want.
- Pick a version entry.
- Decide whether to enable isolation.
- Start installation and wait for completion.
Recommended installation strategy
Use a Minecraft Release version when
- you want the most stable day-to-day setup
- you are building a long-term world
- you want fewer surprises with mods and packs
Use a Minecraft Preview version when
- you want to test upcoming features
- you are comfortable with instability or compatibility breaks
- you intentionally keep Minecraft Preview content separate from your main play setup
Recommended for most players
Start with one isolated Minecraft Release version. Add a Minecraft Preview version later only if you specifically need it.
If installation cannot continue
Go to Update & Troubleshooting if you run into:
- missing Gaming Services
- missing GameInput
- missing Store ownership or installation state
- write permission problems
- failed downloads or mirror issues
