Migration to Microsoft is a disaster From brilliant indie game to a borderline criminal money grab scheme. Shame. My kids grew up with Minecraft but we're looking for alternatives. Funny thing is I'd gladly pay for as many cross platform licenses as my family requires and for whatever premium features we found useful. If not forced to do it... Instead we're going to stick to the single PE license. Not as an act of defiance or anything such but rather not to be screwed again.

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.

Extremely poor customer service Extremely poor customer service. The website password reset doesn't seem to be working, and after some correspondence with a rep (bot?) who only provided canned, unhelpful responses, they closed my ticket without resolving my issue, at which point I could no longer correspond with the rep. So I had to start over with a new ticket and I guess we will see if the new rep is any more helpful.

Very Good Game Very good game, You can play with friends, build, PvP on servers and more. Minecraft is a game of fun and "Infinite Wonder" you can do many things with you friends or alone in survival mode you need to try to get better and then eventually kill the Ender Dragon in The End and beat the game, Hardcore is mainly for good players and YouTubers, if you die on hardcore your world is over, creative is by its name create whatever you want. Java edition is the best version, the version you need to get (Which Java Edition is the version of this review) your kid will be amazed with how fun this game is you need to get this game. Also the price isn't bad for a offline/online game. This game is very famous (But even if it wasn't I would still say get it). Anyways have fun playing Minecraft Java Edition

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.
