The first season for the game is, at last, finally upon us and with it comes a rather anemic amount of...
Microsoft Makes Java and Bedrock Editions of Minecraft a Single Purchase
You can still play each version separately.
The tale of the two separate versions of Minecraft on PC is an odd one. A while back, if you had purchased the Java version of Minecraft prior to October 19, 2018, you were able to claim a free copy of the non-Java built Bedrock Edition for free. All you had to do was tie your existing Mojang account to your Microsoft account.
