Minecraft Java And Bedrock Editions Are No Longer Separately

We hope you're not overly dependent on either of the Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions of one of the most popular building games available on PC because Microsoft and Mojang have confirmed that both will cease to exist on June 7 and be replaced by the Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition which means you won't need to play them separately.

No matter if you're an avid player of the fantastic Sandbox game, you might be a bit confused by the fact that there are two versions of Minecraft on PC which are the Java and Bedrock editions. PCGamesN offers a helpful guide to clarify the differences between the two versions. If you've paid for one, you won't be able to get access to the other. It's a bit odd.

Mojang and Microsoft are clearly in agreement as they have announced (thanks to Neowin) the Minecraft Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. This single-purchase edition of Minecraft on PC replaces separate editions. This goes on sale on June 7 and will be "the only and standard edition of the original Minecraft on Windows PC."

Anyone who owns either Java or Bedrock editions will see it be upgraded to the combined edition with no further purchase required and should be done automatically - although "it might take two to three days for the game to be available as we roll it out to all eligible players." Additionally, Minecraft players should be allowed to play across versions without difficulty.

Mojang confirms that otherwise "Java and Bedrock will remain separate games with distinct features," with the only difference is that you don't have to purchase them separately and can access both from the same Minecraft launcher. This is good news for everyone, except for those who recently purchased both of them separately. Regardless, it should make downloading Minecraft significantly easier.
