We hope that you're not too attached to either of the Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions of one of the best building games on PC because Microsoft and Mojang have confirmed that both will be shut down on June 7 and will be replaced by Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition which means you won't need to use them separately anymore.
If you're not a fan of the phenomenal Sandbox game, you could be a bit confused by the fact that there are two versions of Minecraft on PC that are the Java and Bedrock versions. PCGamesN offers a useful guide to help you understand the differences between the two versions. However, if you have purchased one of them, you won't have access to the other. It's a bit odd.
Mojang and Microsoft are in agreement, as they've just made public (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 all-inclusive and standard version of the vanilla Minecraft for Windows PC."
Anyone with either the Java or Bedrock editions of Minecraft will be upgraded to the combined edition. This upgrade is automatic, however it could take up to three days for all players eligible to experience the game.
Mojang confirms that otherwise "Java and Bedrock will remain distinct games that have their own distinct features," with the only difference being that you don't have to purchase them separately, and can access both from the same Minecraft launcher. This is a great news for everyone except for those who recently purchased both games separately.minecraft serversshould make downloading Minecraft much simpler.
