Playing Minecraft Bedrock and Minecraft Java together, is that possible or not?
No of course is not
No,
and that won't change anytime soon.
Isn't the Nether update in both version 1.16? So far it was so that Bedrock was always one number behind (Bedrock 1.14 = Java 1.15).
Isn't the Nether update in both version 1.16? So far it was so that Bedrock was always one number behind (Bedrock 1.14 = Java 1.15).
Jo, the two editions are now level with the updates. Bedrock probably left out 1.15 so that the version numbers finally match.
Yes, but never with the same version number, which will probably change with 1.16 (in the wiki there's at least 1.15 as well as 1.16 in Bedrock as a Nether update), so I wonder if the versions are not completely the same. By that I mean there may be a "base" from which both editions build. Theoretically, the multiplayer technology could run there and you can then play with any edition with any other.
I'm also amazed by the "Better Together Update" that has been published for some time now.
Have you heard of the combat updates?
An attempt is made to adapt the Java Combat to that of the Bedrock Edition. Because at the moment they are very different.
After this update it could happen that you can crossplay between Java and Bedrock. But definitely not before that.
Makes sense and no, haven't heard of these updates
Just check out Combat Snapshot on YouTube
No is not possible and will probably never be possible since the two versions were written in different programming languages. The effort to make both versions compatible with each other would be much too great, if that is possible at all.
Sorry, sorry to disappoint both of you. As one of them already answered here, it is too difficult to combine 2 Minecraft games with 2 different engines. Java remains for Windows and Mac only, and Bedrock is available across multiple systems. Above all, the Windows 10 version would generally not make any sense if you wanted to make Java compatible with Bedrock, since the Windows 10 version would have been left out immediately if Java with Bedrock Crossplay were capable.
True, good point.
Nope Bedrock uses C ++ Java edition uses java as the programming language
Windows 10 Edition and Mobile Edition are also in different programming languages, but are compatible. Think that has less to do with it. Rather with the thousands of different features that can't be changed easily.
No, that's not right.
The Bedrock Edition and its branches are written in the programming language C ++.
Do you have any sources for this info?
You don't have to have sources for that. It is simply almost impossible to make Java and Bedrock cross-playable with each other. These are 2 differently programmed engines. Something just doesn't work. There isn't even a report that deals with something like that. Not even modders got it, and the wars always got something where the developers failed at the crux of their programs themselves.
You don't have to agree with me. But I can assure you that it will be a long time, and probably never will be possible to merge 2 differently programmed games for the first time. And I'll be absolutely right too. But that's just my opinion. Ultimately, create yourself. I don't want to control you.
See it a little differently than you. You could make a base for Java and Bedrock, from which both build and where the multiplayer technology is, that is, multiplayer technology in the basic version.
To do this, the developers would have to dig deep into their pockets. Apart from that, the Bedrock version on PC was not developed for nothing. - As I have already explained a few comments about this: if crossplay between Bedrock and Java were possible, the Windows 10 Edition at that time would not have been released in 2015. It was developed EXTRA again for PC because the Bedrock Edition (then still Minecraft PE) could not be made cross-playable with its engine from smartphone to PC, so Java, and thus developed a PC-based Minecraft for PC equipped with Bedrock Engine. Exactly the same has been done on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. First of all, there were the Legacy Editions Outside (Minecraft [Xbox One / PS4 / Nintendo Switch] Edition) - when it was found that the Legacy was not crossplay capable, and not even extremely evolving, Minecraft made it with the Bedrock Engine Replaced because it could surprisingly be used on almost any system. (Xbox 360, PS3, PSVita would have been just as possible if the popularity hadn't already dropped…) Java has a similar problem, but not because of a development handicap, which luckily does not have Java, but directly because of the programming! Otherwise the Java engine would have been used on consoles instead of the Bedrock. Incidentally, there would have been the additional problem that if the consoles had got the Java engine, then the smartphone (btw the clock, the Bedrock, at that time still called MCPE) would not have been able to get crossplay, because Java does not work on Android. Without good emulators or programs that adapted the Java programming on smartphone, a Minecraft game would have been outside again.
I hope I was able to explain this to you a little in detail why Java and Bedrock won't get crossplay.
Yes, I noticed that the Windows 10 Edition was developed again for Windows 10 with the Bedrock Engine, but only for Windows 10 and not for the older Windows systems.
With Java, I have to contradict you with regard to the further development, since it (Minecraft 1.16) is still based on Java 8 (1.8) but there's already Java 14. So Java 8 is not the latest version of Java, although it will still be used by the next version of Minecraft.
In addition, it is not necessary to maintain two edition of Minecraft, you should rather switch all systems to Bedrock or finally use a newer Java version for the Java version.
Your explanation made sense with your first comment, but I still don't fully agree that it's not possible to crossplay between Java and Bedrock because everything is possible in programming with the right tolls, technologies, Engines, structuring of the game (or program), …
Yes, of course, I agree with you there. There may be an opportunity to merge Bedrock and Java. But there has to be a lot of effort, which can cost a lot of money. One also has to hope that Microsoft sees it as logical to want to merge the games. As long as there's no possibility of financial constraints and Microsoft's insight, such a desire to enable crossplay between Bedrock and Java remains a long way off. In an extremely far distance. After all, you can put up with Bedrock. It is playable everywhere, can be linked everywhere (PS4 not yet completely), and is also extremely cheap. Windows 10 version of bedrock? You can get thrown as a key on ebay for less than 5 euro…
I do not know if it will take so long, because I have heard that Microsoft is now involved in Java (language and Minecraft Java Edition) development.

Are both the same links 😂
Yes, you can dream and hope. But I see this with GREAT caution. I googled again and I found nothing, which is also a consent of Java-Bedrock Crossplay. Well, like I said, dream and hope.
Yes, I have two hopes for Crossplay between Bedrock and Java.
1) The Compat Update for the Java Edition, which brings Bedrock components to the Java Edition.
2) The version adjustment for the Nether update. So far it was so that the current Bedrock is 1.14 and the current Java 1.15. In the Nether Update, however, both have 1.16, i.e. The Bedrock Edition skips 1.15.
May be, but it can also mean different. I had the beta on the Xbox until recently, but I never got it. The beta already includes the NetherUpdate 🤔 I should have had a look 😑
