I was with a friend today and he played minecraft bedrock on his PC, which surprised me because I know that you can only play java on PC? How can you do that? I already bought bedrock on my mobile phone…

He said he had downloaded it from the official website.

To do this, you have to buy Minecraft from the Microsoft Store.

Well PE (Pocket Edition) is the mobile version. Is pretty cheap. But that doesn't count for Bedrock

ot

You can play both versions on the computer, Java and Bedrock. You have to buy the Java Edition on the Minecraft website and the Bedrock Edition can be bought in the Microsoft Store. The Bedrock version is compatible with the Pocket Edition, but Bedrock and Pocket Edition are not compatible with the Java Edition.

Fr

Mm okay, does that mean I have to buy the new version of everything from the store? So if you mean the Windows 10 Edition.

Fr

Oh okay, because he said he downloaded it from the official minecraft site

Le

If you click on Buy on the official page for the Windows 10 Edition, you will be redirected to the Microsoft Store.

ot

If you have the Java Edition you can download the Bedrock Edition for free, you have to enter such a key somewhere, but I don't know much about it.

Fr

Oh okay, thank you very much, I'll give it a try.
