You may be wondering what this means for you. Basically, it's just an incremental change. A single purchase will now provide both versions of the game in one package. This also means that you'll only get one vanilla version of Minecraft on Windows today. If you already own either Bedrock or Java edition then there's no reason to worry. Mojang has announced that all players that have either Java Edition or Bedrock Edition will receive the edition they do not currently have for free, directly in the Minecraft Launcher. However, this could take up to three days to be available.

Heading into the future, Jave and Bedrock will be separate games with separate features. There have been no changes to the features. The only difference is that you'll end up getting both by default when you purchase Minecraft on your Windows PC and both versions will be in the same launcher.

As a reminder, even though Java is available only on PC, Mac and Linux systems Bedrock Edition is available on all platforms. Bedrock Edition is available on PC and mobile devices (Android, iOS, Windows 10 mobile ), and on various consoles, including Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and the list goes on. Java is considered to be the more flexible version of Minecraft on PC in terms of mods but it does not allow cross-platform play. Also, the Java Edition has a higher performance threshold and tends appear a bit better on higher-end gaming PCs and the Bedrock Edition is designed to play smoothly, and generally has shorter load times.
