I'm a beginner and I want to play Minecraft ON PC with friends. Which edition do I have to buy?
Please only answer from people who are really familiar with it.
I recommend the Java version. Of course, everyone must have this version
Definitely Java. The version is specially made for the PC and a thousand times more versatile and professional.
Bedrock is also possible for the PC, but you can also play with z. B. Cell phone players…
I would recommend the Java version to you. Playing with friends on Bedrock is easier, but there are thousands of servers on Java that you can play together on. There are also thousands of mods on the Java Edition.
The Java version is only for the PC / laptop.
This is ideal for playing with friends, as you can join thousands of servers and play with your friends there.
You have a lot of options. For example, you can download mods.
You have to create a Microsoft account and then you can buy Java. If you are then in the Minecraft Launcher, i.e. Have it open, you have to log in with your Microsoft account.
You then start Minecraft and click on Multiplayer or Multiplayer and can add servers and play with friends there.
There you can buy the Java version:

Have fun.
Thanks for sending me the link too. Unfortunately, I have already bought the wrong version for my child: the so-called starter collection
If you all want to play on PC, then you should buy the Java Edition (minecraft.net)
The edition in the Microsoft Store is the Bedrock Edition (worse but also for consoles and mobile phones)
