Minecraft - Standard edition vs Java & Bedrock?

Kerri Ginty · Sep 7, 2022

My question: what's the difference between "Minecraft

for PC/Mac (Standard Edition)" (€20) and "Minecraft

Java & Bedrock Edition" (€30)

I'm looking to buy Minecraft on my windows 11 pc and went to Amazon to see if there were any cheaper options than the €30 price on the mc website.

I’m assuming that the €10 difference is the inclusion of the Bedrock version which I could do without.

Is Java the exact same as ‘Standard’?

Probably the most likely reason there are 2 Minecrafts on ur computer is because one is Java and one is Bedrock and if I'm right now Java and bedrock are included in a bundle which is now the standard edition of Minecraft

If i buy Minecraft Dungeons from the Microsoft Store will it be available in the Minecraft (Java) Launcher, or will it be like Minecraft Java vs Bedrock?

Java does not support Xbox Live features such as achievements

Hope you're doing great today Kerri

Yes, the different is that you get Bedrock edition when you purchase Java & Bedrock.

Besides that the Java edition is the same no matter what edition you decided to purchase
