We hope you’re not too attached to the Minecraft Java and Bedrock version of one of the best building games on PC, as Microsoft and Mojang have confirmed that both versions will cease to exist on June 7th and will be replaced by Minecraft Java. and Bedrock Edition, so you no longer need to use them separately.
Whether you are a fan of the phenomenal sandbox game or not, you might still be confused by the existence of two different versions of Minecraft for PC: the Java and Bedrock versions. PCGamesN has a handy guide that explains the difference between the two, but it doesn’t matter if you paid for one, you didn’t have access to the other. Which is a bit crazy.
Mojang and Microsoft clearly agree, as they have now announced (thanks, Neowin) Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition, a one-time purchase version of Minecraft for PC that replaces the individual editions. It will go on sale on June 7 and will be “the only standard Minecraft offering for Windows PCs.”
Anyone who has a Java or Bedrock edition will see it upgrade to a Combo edition with no additional purchases, which should happen automatically, though “it can take two to three days for a game to appear when we roll out to all eligible players.” .” Additionally, Minecraft players should be able to switch between versions without issue.
Mojang confirms that “Java and Bedrock will remain separate games with their own distinct features”, otherwise the only difference is that you don’t have to buy them separately and can access both from the same Minecraft launcher. Good news from any point of view, except for those who recently bought the two separately. However, this should make it easier to download Minecraft.
