What is the difference between Minecraft java edition and bedrock edition?
Posted On: March 14, 2024

I have just recently started playing Minecraft again after a 4 or 5 year hiatus (java edition ~v1.8 apparently), so I have a couple questions:.


What's the difference between Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock Edition?


Does it cost money? and is it worth it?


How are the servers different in Java vs Bedrock Edition?


Any other notable changes since v.1.8ish?


What are the most popular servers to hop on nowadays?


Question from user CharlieCNX at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

The official documentation and support pages can answer Question #1:.


https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/java-or-bedrock-edition.


https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/differencesbetweenbedrockandjava.


The biggest difference between the two is that Bedrock Edition runs on Windows 10/11, Console, Mobile, and VR, while Java Edition runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The two editions cannot crossplay, making Bedrock more flexible for multiplayer with different devices.


There are some other major differences, reference the above links to read more. The documentation provides a more technical view while the blog article is more player-oriented.
