Minecraft Java & Bedrock Edition is priced at $30 and you can purchase it on the official Minecraft website. On PC, the two versions of the game are now sold together, and they also use the same launcher. Even better, Minecraft gamers who already own either the Java or the Bedrock edition of the game will get the other one for free.įor those unfamiliar, the Minecraft Java Edition is the “legacy” version of the game for Windows, macOS, and Linux, while Bedrock is the cross-platform version of the game that’s available on PC, mobile devices, and consoles. If you want to try out the latest new additions, you can’t go wrong with either version.Minecraft developer Mojang Studios has released today the new Minecraft Java & Bedrock Edition for PC, which combines the two versions of the game in the same bundle.
On Java you can access the latest and greatest update via the launcher’s snapshot feature, whereas on Windows 10 there’s an ‘Experimental Gameplay’ option that works in a similar vein.
The Java Edition of Minecraft used to be the go-to version when it comes to flashy new content, but that’s since changed as Mojang aims to release updates across both versions simultaneously.
On the flipside, Windows 10 Edition needs an Xbox LIVE account to play online, which means it comes with all the benefits associated, including the ability to customise privacy settings, alter who your kid can interact with, report dickbag players easily, and so on (you can change your child’s settings via the Xbox site here (opens in new tab)). You can essentially boil it down to: turn chat off, only join servers the parent has checked out first, and general stuff like set real-world screen time limits and enforce it. Java Edition doesn’t have much in the way of parental controls. As Java Edition has been around since the dawn of time, it makes sense that’ll have more variety. When it comes to picking a version, it all comes down to which has more servers you like the sound of. The only issue here is we’re working with two different versions of the same game, so Java Edition can’t connect to Windows 10 servers and Windows 10 can’t connect to Java Edition servers.
Think adventure worlds, PvP, puzzle maps, that sort of thing. If you’re new to the world of servers they are, in a nutshell, gargantuan worlds created and hosted online with the intention of supporting masses of players.
