minecraft-xbox 360 edition update version differences

Hello Army,

AS you know Minecraft for Xbox 360 came first so there will be more updates and such as to why different version numbers this is why you are unable to use them on the Xbox one. They are two different versions, both need to be purchased. In this case since
you have them on the Xbox one we suggest getting with Mojang to see how to use them as they are the ones that release the updates.

Thanks,

Brad

Both copies were purchased a long time ago now. Yes I know Minecraft was released on the 360 first and since they are different platforms obviously they will have different version numbers for each platform. Mojang is not responsible for Minecraft on Xbox
360 or Xbox One, Microsoft is. Mojang only deals with support issues for Java editions and Mojang accounts. The problem is Minecraft on Xbox 360 has been updated to a release higher then the current release for Xbox One Minecraft Edition making the two incompatible.
If Microsoft would allow Mojang to release an update for Xbox One Minecraft Edition to bring it up to date with the Xbox 360 Minecraft version they would. So this is a Micosoft issue as they control which editions get updates and when.

From Mojang:

"The Minecraft editions you're playing on are handled by Xbox Support. This help center is mostly limited to provide support for the Minecraft Java edition and Mojang accounts."

It just doesn't make logical sense to update Xbox 360 to a more advance version/patch/release then Xbox One. Unless Microsoft wants me to toss out my Xbox one and stay on the 360 always.

Your addons for Minecraft on the 360 won't transfer to Xbox one because Xbox one edition is a different game and the 360 version of Minecraft isn't back compatible

On the One do you have "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" or "Minecraft"? The One version of the game had an updated a while ago and it is no longer possible to transfer 360 saves to the updated version. "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" is the original version for
the One and the save can be transferred to that version.

There are several different versions of minecraft. Minecraft: Java edition is PC only and can only crossplay with Java players (mac, Lenox, PC) The minecraft that doesnt have a version next to it is the play together version or more commonly called bedrock.
Bedrock is the version that can be played across mobile, console, and PC. There are also editions that are made specifically for most consoles and even a stand alone mobile version. Examples would be Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, Minecraft: Pocket Edition.
These do not work with Bedrock which is just called Minecraft. Java is the most updated version of minecraft while bedrock would be right behind that one. The others I'm really not sure how often they update them if at all. Each edition of Minecraft has to
be purchased separately. I happen to own both Minecraft: Xbox one edition and Minecraft since they released at separate times. I also have Java on my PC. As for your issue they do not have a Bedrock version on the 360.
