I have the Minecraft Java version on my PC. Do I need the Minecraft Bedrock version to be able to play with friends like the one on the Switch one on the PC games and if so where do I get them?
Unfortunately you can't interact with the JavaEdition with Handy / Switch / Xbox / PS4 - When buying the JavaEdition you should have received an 8ivirungscode for the WINDOWS10 edition. With the so-called "Windows 10 Edition" you can then interact with Switch / PS4 / mobile phone.
The windows10 edition can be found in the Microsoft Store.
The activation code you can't get for a year now when buying the Java version, I would have thought.
Uff ka that would be stupid hm
