There’s a ton of flexibility in the game as it comes with zero instructions or goals. Players build and explore however they wish. It’s extremely popular among adults and children alike and can be played on tons of devices from smartphones to consoles and PC. The game comes in two separate versions: Minecraft Bedrock and Java edition.

What are differences between Bedrock and Java editions?

Content-wise, Bedrock and Java are mostly the same but there are some distinct differences between the two. Minecraft Java is the original version that came out back in 2009 and only works on the PC. Players on this version can only play with other Java players. Cross-play with other platforms is not enabled. Players on this version can customize their skins, add mods, and have access to Hardcore and Spectator modes. Minecraft Bedrock, also known as Minecraft for Windows 10, is the version that you see on console and mobile platforms alongside a PC version. It came out in 2017 and brought nine of the major platforms at the time under the Bedrock Engine to create a singular community. This version also includes a marketplace and parental control on it, but it does lack Hardcore and Spectator modes and doesn’t allow modding. Bedrock has been ported over to Windows 11, but it’s unknown at this time if Microsoft or Mojang, the game’s developer, will create a special Windows 11 version of the game or keep it all the same. Over time, Mojang had added new content and features, and bug fixes to the game. The fixes improve upon the stability and performance of the game, so it’s necessary to keep the game updated. Typically, the game updates itself automatically, but sometimes the auto-update doesn’t work for whatever reason. This guide will show you how to update multiple versions of Minecraft manually. It will also show you how to reinstall Minecraft as a last-ditch effort to fix any problems.
