WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS?
The Java Edition of Minecraft is supported only on PC while the Bedrock edition allows you to play on multiple platforms. The reason is Bedrock edition is supported on Mobile, Tablet, PC, Xbox, PlayStation. You can enjoy the cross-platform multiplayer game on the Bedrock Edition of the game. However, please note that the LLS Build Competition is only available on Mobile, Tablet or PC. You will be able to play other games with Bedrock on Xbox or Playstation, but not the LLS Build Competition.
The servers of both the editions of the game are also different. Due to this, you cannot play with your friend if you are not in the same edition of the game. For example, you and your friends will have to be on either Java edition or Bedrock edition for enjoying the game together. If you and your friend do not have the same edition, you will not be able to enjoy the game together.
If you love modding in the game, want to make changes, using unique features, then you should go for the Java edition of the game. You will enjoy a lot of customization in the game in this edition.
If you want to enjoy your game on multiple gaming platforms, then the Bedrock edition is for you. You can enjoy cross-platform multiplayer games on the Bedrock edition of the game. To read more about the differences, click here.
