Minecraft Java And Bedrock Editions No Longer Exist Separately

We hope that you're not too dependent on either of the Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions of one of the top building games for PC because Microsoft and Mojang have confirmed that both will end on June 7 - and will be replaced by Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition and Bedrock Edition, meaning you don't have to download them separately.

There is a chance that you are confused by the existence of two versions of Minecraft on PC and Mac, the Java and Bedrock editions. PCGamesN provides a helpful guide to help you understand 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 in agreement, as now they have unveiled (thanks, Neowin) the Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition - a single-purchase version of Minecraft on PC that will replace the separate editions. It will go on sale June 7 and will become "the only and standard edition of the vanilla Minecraft on Windows PC."

Anyone who has either the Java or Bedrock editions will see it get upgraded to the combined edition with no additional purchase and should be done immediately - however "it might take two to three days for the game to be available as we roll it out to all players who are eligible." Furthermore, Minecraft players should be capable of playing across versions without hassle.

Mojang confirms that otherwise "Java and Bedrock will remain distinct games with their own distinctive features," with the only difference being that you don't have to buy them separately and can play both through the same Minecraft launcher. This is a good thing for everyone, with the exception of those who have recently purchased both of them separately. It should make the downloading of Minecraft much easier.
