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 as Microsoft and Mojang have confirmed that both will end on June 7 and be replaced by the Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition and Bedrock Edition, meaning you don't have to use them separately anymore. If you're not an avid player of the amazing Sandbox game, you might still be confused by the presence of two different versions of Minecraft on PC - the Java and Bedrock editions. PCGamesN has a handy guide to explain the difference between the two, however, if you paid for one, you did not get access to the other. It's a bit odd. Mojang and Microsoft are in complete agreement with their announcement. They have announced (thanks to Neowin) the Minecraft Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. This single-purchase edition of Minecraft on PC replaces separate editions. Minecraft gamemodes The game will be available for purchase on June 7 and becomes "the standard and only offering of the original Minecraft on Windows PC." Anyone who owns either the Java or Bedrock editions will see it get upgraded to the combined edition with no other purchase needed and should be done immediately - however "it might take two to three days for the game to show up as we roll it out to all eligible players." Furthermore, Minecraft players should be capable of playing across versions without any hassle. Mojang confirms that otherwise "Java and Bedrock will remain separate games that have their own distinct features," with the only difference being that you don't have to buy them separately and can access both from the same Minecraft launcher. This is a good thing for everyone, with the exception of those who recently purchased both games separately. It should make the downloading of Minecraft much easier.
