We hope you're not too attached to either the Minecraft Java or Bedrock editions of one the most popular building games for PC. Microsoft and Mojang confirmed that they will be discontinued on June 7. You may be confused by the existence of two versions of Minecraft on PC and Mac, the Java and Bedrock versions. teen time PCGamesN has a handy guide to explain the difference between the two, but regardless - when you purchased one, you won't have access to the other. It's a bit odd. Mojang and Microsoft are in complete agreement, as they have now announced (thanks to Neowin) the Minecraft Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. This single-purchase edition of Minecraft on PC replaces the separate editions. The game will be available for purchase on the 7th of June and will be "the standard and sole offering of the original Minecraft for Windows PC." Anyone who has either the Java or Bedrock editions will be upgraded to the combined edition, with no other purchase needed and should be done instantly - but "it could take between two and three days for the game to appear as we roll it out to all players who are eligible." Furthermore, Minecraft players should be able to crossplay between versions without difficulty.minecraft servers Mojang confirms that otherwise "Java and Bedrock will remain distinct games with distinct 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 to everyone, excluding those who recently bought both separately. Whatever, it should make downloading Minecraft significantly easier.
