    Is Minecraft for Windows and Minecraft for Xbox different?


    Hello,

    Recently I've been switching between playing minecraft on my PC and on my Xbox console. I'm currently using the minecraft launcher and bedrock to play on PC. Most of my progress is on a realm with some friends.

    I've noticed that any achievements unlocked on my PC for minecraft don't appear on my console or the mobile app. The only way I have found to fix this is to join the realm on console and redo the achievement. Is this a known issue, or can this be resolved in any way?

    I would hate to keep switching between PC and console just to get achievements.

    Thank you Is Minecraft for Windows and Minecraft for Xbox different? :)

    :)

    Minecraft Windows 10 to Xbox One?

    There are different versions of Minecraft on Xbox One! Theres Minecraft Xbox One Version, Minecraft (compatible with pc, mobile, switch).

    The Version that you say Minecraft Windows 10 its only for Windows PC.

    Xbox to pc

    Minecraft on Xbox and on Windows 10 are separate. Yes, they're the same Play Together version but they're 2 different games to purchase. Minecraft for Xbox is in the GamePass, but Minecraft for Windows 10 isn't

    XBOX game wont transfer over

    Minecraft for the Xbox is considered a different version than Minecraft for Windows 10. Minecraft is not a Play Anywhere title unfortunately, so it would have to be purchased again if you want to play it on a different platform.

    Minecraft Windows10

    Please check under https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders/ if your purchase for Minecraft Windows 10 shows up.

    Be aware that Minecraft for Windows 10 is different from Minecraft on Xbox and also different from Java Minecraft on PC. If you bought Java Minecraft BEFORE Oct. 2018, you need to sign into your Mojang account on the Minecraft.net website, and can redeem
    a code for Windows 10 Minecraft.

    After you got Minecraft for Windows 10, make sure you sign in with the same account that you bought it. Open the Windows 10 store, check that's the right account in the upper right.

    Then open the menu and check your library. If you bought Minecraft 10 with that account, you will find it there.

    Problems with getting java edition due to family settings

    Thank you for that, Nutlike. Just a friendly reminder though that Minecraft on Xbox is a different license than is on Minecraft PC. They're both bedrock editions but the game licenses on both platforms are different.

    The promo or bundle is if you own Minecraft for Windows PC.
