New to Minecraft? Here's all you need to know about the difference between Bedrock and Java, and how it affects you.

Minecraft Bedrock Edition is rapidly growing in popularity, much more so than its Java Edition counterpart.

The Minecraft Bedrock Edition supports crossplay on Android, iOS, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and more. Bedrock players also have access to Realms, a multiplayer server run by Minecraft.

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