A:Answer Minecraft can be played on tablets as well as computers. That said, if you want the best performance you will need a computer with a dedicated graphic card. That will give you the best display and show all the textures. Minecraft was written for a keyboard and mouse and not a touch screen. Most tablet computers are 32 bit, 64 bit is better for the game. If you are on a tight budget and decide to purchase a tablet computer you will need to configure your device to the lower settings.
