INPUT ARTICLE: Article: net and download the launcher. To be able play Minecraft at all, first, you need to download the game itself. The way Minecraft works is a little different than the way other games do in this regard: you can download Minecraft at any time for free, but you need to pay for an account to play the full version. To get the Minecraft "launcher" (the application you use to play the game), first go to Minecraft.net. On the right, you'll see three options: "Get Minecraft," "Play the demo," and "Already bought the game? Download it here." Even though you haven't paid for it yet, pick the last option. On the next page, if you're working on a Windows PC, click the link for either Minecraft.msi or Minecraft.exe. Your download will start. If you're on Mac or Linux, click "Show all platforms" and choose the appropriate option. Once your download is complete, run the file. The install process should start immediately. Simply follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. The installation should go smoothly for the vast majority of users. However, if you have problems downloading or installing Minecraft, try consulting the official help resources at help.mojang.com. Once the installation finishes, the Minecraft launcher should start up immediately. If it doesn't, you can always start it by opening it from the directory you installed it to. When the launcher opens, it will ask you for your login information so that it verify whether or not you have paid for the game. Since you don't have an account yet, click "Register." Without an account, you can't play the game at all not even the demo. Clicking the "Register" button will open a window in your default web browser that takes you to the Mojang website to create an account. Follow the prompts to register a username and password. You will need to provide a valid email address so that you can receive a validation email as part of the registration process.

SUMMARY: Visit Minecraft. Install the launcher. Open the launcher. Register an account.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Fill a cup or bowl with lukewarm water and add two or three drops of alcohol-free detergent. Soak a soft rag in the solution and gently rub the gloves with it. Turn the gloves inside out and wash their interiors with the rag. Hold the gloves under a gentle stream of cool, running water. Rinse them just enough to remove any suds, but don't completely saturate them. Rinse the insides then turn them right side out and rinse the exteriors. After rinsing the gloves, use a clean, dry towel to soak up excess water. Turn the gloves inside out again and squeeze the towel around them to ring out moisture. Then turn them right side out, towel dry the outsides, and hang them to completely air dry. Hang your gloves away from direct sunlight to air dry. When the gloves of are dry, apply a leather or glove conditioner to the leather palms. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to rub a small amount of conditioner onto the surface, let it set for a few minutes, then use another cloth to wipe the gloves once more. Use a baseball glove conditioner, leather shoe conditioner, or other treatment designed for leather.

SUMMARY: Rub the gloves with a solution of lukewarm water and detergent. Rinse the gloves under cool water. Soak up excess moisture then air dry the gloves. Treat the leather with a conditioner.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Protect both your hardware and yourself by taking care of any electrical components. Shut off your computer first, then unplug the keyboard from it. If you're using a wireless keyboard, remove the batteries. Unplug the power cord if you're working on a laptop. Touch a key to make sure the computer is completely off. If you have a non-USB keyboard, always turn off the computer before unplugging the keyboard. The keys on most modern keyboards fit over small clips and are easy to remove. Wedge a flathead screwdriver or butter knife underneath the corner of a key and lightly pry it up. Then, try to pull the key straight up with your fingers. You may need to wiggle it or pry up the opposite side to slide it off its clip. Take a quick picture of the keyboard with your phone before pulling off the keys. It will help you put the keys back in the correct order later. For an easy way to remove keys, get a wire keycap puller. Find one online or at an electronics store. If you're unsure about removing keys, consult your owner's manual or call the manufacturer. Find out their recommendations for key removal and cleaning. Flip the keyboard over and look for screws. Some keyboards consist of faceplates bound together. If the keyboard has screws, remove the bottom faceplate to wash it separately. Check for hidden screws underneath the keyboard's labels. If you can't remove the keys, you usually can remove the faceplate. Take the keys off afterward, if possible, to give the faceplate a more thorough cleaning. Set out a towel next to the sink. Run warm water from the faucet as you gather the keys into a colander. Then, hold the colander underneath running water, swirling the keys around by hand to rinse them. With a colander, most water and debris rinses off right away. When you're done, set the keys on a towel to finish drying. If rinsing isn't enough to clean the keys, try using a liquid dish soap. Fill a bowl with warm water, then mix in 1UStbsp (15mL) of dish soap to create soapy water. Denture tablets are also very effective and can be used in place of soap. Move the faceplate into a colander or bowl. Try rinsing it out with warm water. Clear out stubborn debris with soapy water and a microfiber cloth. When you're done, set the faceplate aside to dry. If your keyboard is very grimy, soak the faceplate and keys in soapy water for up to 6 hours. Scrub and rinse off everything when you're done. Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol. Scrub the remaining faceplate to clear out as much debris as possible. Go around the stems that normally hold the keys in place. Make sure the cloth isn't dripping or else some of the moisture may reach the electronic components. Use an electronics cleaning brush from a general store to help remove tough debris. Finish cleaning out the keyboard by wiping away the remaining debris. The key stems are the little towers or clips perched on top of the keyboard. Wipe around the stems to remove debris on the faceplate. Then, dampen a cotton swab with a drop of cleaning solution to wipe off the top of each stem. Change out the cotton swabs as they get dirty to avoid leaving any debris behind. Isopropyl alcohol dries quickly, so it's safer to use than water. Avoid using a lot of it. Dampen each swab lightly. Find a place on your countertop to put the computer parts. Lay out some towels, then arrange the components over them. Keep the parts exposed to fresh air to dry them out. Make sure the computer parts are in a secure spot so they don't fall on the floor or get lost. Keep them inaccessible to children or pets so they dry out fully. Reassemble the keyboard by reversing the steps you took when taking it apart. For most keyboards, you will need to connect the faceplates first. Screw them back together, then set the keys on top of the clips or stems. Usually, all you have to do is slide the keys onto the clips to snap them in place. If your keyboard doesn't work, take it apart again. Make sure you assembled it properly and plugged in all of the cables. Consider calling a professional to give laptops a cleaning. A professional technician can take apart your laptop, find damaged parts, and clean electronic components safely.

SUMMARY:
Switch off the computer and disconnect the keyboard. Pull the keys off with a screwdriver if they are removable. Unscrew the keyboard and pull it apart if possible. Place the keys in a colander to wash them in warm water. Wash the empty faceplate with soap and warm water. Wipe the other half of the keyboard with a cloth and isopropyl alcohol. Clean the key stems with cotton swabs dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Let the keyboard dry for 2 to 3 days. Replace the keyboard parts and test it. Finished.
