 Description   

As many of us know the pc version of minecraft is not supported on a chromebook but recently chromebooks are now able to run android apps. I was happy until I was greeted with "This device is not compatible with this version" even though it has a touchscreen! Why is that? I'm sure it's able to run it even if it isn't super smooth.

PS I didn't know what to put as a device that should also be fixed... It isn't really a phone.

Minecraft isn't available for Chromebooks. This is not a bug.

However, PC edition can run on your chromebook if you have a Linux server. Otherwise, minecraft won't work.

I can understand this not being compatible since a chromebook is not large enough to fit into a pocket, and is not as mobile-friendly as a tablet or phone despite it being a touch screen, it uses a keyboard, which is used mainly for computers, and since computers can't run pocket edition, (because you definitely can't put a computer in your pocket) it is not compatible with touch-screen chromebooks because they technically consider them as a laptop computer.
