Having 2 different versions was a mistake. Not a bad game. Its more that there are two versions: Java & Bedrock. Unfortunately, this means the two will have differences. The 3 big one are: 1. The 2024 Aprils Fool's Update was JAVA EXCLUSIVE. The only way Bedrock got the update was through an add-on which was underwhelming compared to the Java trailer & gameplay. 2. Servers are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Where on Java you can join ANY server with an IP address, on Bedrock there is NO SUCH THING. You can't join any server, only a select few. 3. Modding capabilities don't exist for Bedrock. Only add-ons, which are MASSIVELY underwhelming compared to Java's mods, which are free. You will occasionally have to PAY REAL MONEY for add-ons.

worse with every update Once, a very long time ago, Mojang was a very good game-developing organisation. But since Microsoft bought the company, things got bad really quickly. Updates kept getting delayed and things that were asked for didn't get added. On top of that, now you can get banned if you say something that wasn't even ill-intentioned. Moreover, everything in the game and also the game itself is extremely overpriced. I don't think the game will ever get fixed again. My advice: don't buy it.

2nd best game hands down Love this game, been playing since Beta. I only play single player but better Linux support for versions other than Java Edition would be much appreciated. * mutters terraria is better.

I bought the game back in 2010 I bought the game back in 2010, with a licence that was supposed to last in perpetuity, however, now the game isn't working anymore. I contacted customer service and turns out they have dropped the old licences, without letting original owners know that they made that change. I never received any communications from Mojang, Minecraft or Microsoft (which apparently now owns the game) about any such change. It is a really misguided way to treat customer's who had been with you from the beginning, shame on you! Cannot recommend this company.

You may play with buddies You may play with buddies, build, PvP on servers, and more in this excellent game. Minecraft is a game of fun and "Infinite Wonder" where you can do a variety of things with your friends or by yourself. In survival mode, you must try to improve and eventually kill the Ender Dragon in the end to beat the game. Hardcore is primarily for good players and YouTubers, and if you die on hardcore, your world is over. The greatest version is the Java edition, which is the version you should purchase (the Java Edition is the version of this review). Your child will be shocked at how much fun this game is, so you should get it.
