There are two editions of Minecraft: Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. Both versions might look identical, but they have many differences.

There are many choices of what version of Minecraft to get - the free version, the Java versions and the Bedrock edition. But what makes them different?

Minecraft: Java Edition is the original version of the game for computers, while Bedrock is a newer version available on nearly every device.

Yearning for the mines? Now you can get both versions of Minecraft for one extra-low price. Download Minecraft Java and Minecraft Bedrock right here all for just $24.99 (reg. $39).

Due to their different audiences, there's always been a rift between Bedrock and Java Editions of Minecraft. However, come November 2, that will change, to an extent.

While the Bedrock Edition does have add-ons, it features more paid content to add to the game, whereas the Java version lets you install mods (such as texture packs) for free.

The new bundle, aptly titled Minecraft: Java and Bedrock Edition for PC, will be the standard version of Minecraft on PC going forward.
