Minecraft Java And Bedrock Editions Are No Longer Distinct

We hope you're not too attached to either the Minecraft Java or Bedrock editions of one of the most played building games available on 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 editions. PCGamesN has a handy guide that explains the differences between the two, however, if you paid for one, you did not get access to the other. This is a bit absurd.

Mojang and Microsoft have clearly agreed, since now they have unveiled (thanks, Neowin) the Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition - a single-purchase version of Minecraft on PC that replaces the separate editions. The game will be available for purchase on June 7 and will be "the standard and sole offering of the original Minecraft for Windows PC." Thinkofdeath

Anyone who has either the Java or Bedrock editions of Minecraft will be upgraded to the combined edition. This upgrade is automatic, however it may take up to three days for all players eligible to see the game.

Mojang confirms that otherwise "Java and Bedrock will remain distinct games with their own distinctive features," with the only difference being that you don't have to purchase them separately and you can play both on the same Minecraft launcher. It's a good thing for everyone except for those who recently bought both separately. It will make the process of downloading Minecraft much simpler.
