Hi, I finally wanted to buy Minecraft, but now I don't know whether to buy the Java or the Windows 10 version. Which version have which advantages?

The comparison between Minecraft Windows 10 and Java has six main aspects. These are mods, costs, controls, crossplay, servers and system resource consumption. Now I will explain them to you one by one

Modifications:
Two versions of Minecraft support Mod. That is, since the Java version of 2010 appeared, more mods are available in the first version than in the Windows 10 version 2015. Objectively speaking, the quality of the Java mode is higher than the standard of Minecraft Windows 10 Mods.

After all, the original version of the Windows 10 version was developed for mobile devices, so the changed scene will always catch up.

Costs:
The UK Java Edition costs £ 17.95 while the Windows 10 Edition costs £ 22.49 in the Windows Store.

But there's a little. The Java version can be played in full, including mods, textures, and all other Minecraft-related content, without paying a dime. Although you can download all of the above variants for free in Windows 10, this version also includes optional in-game purchases.

These items range from packs of cards, textures, skins, and new game modes. Most people will definitely oppose the idea of paying for addons in Minecraft, but for parents, it's a risk-free approach as the content on Windows 10 has been third-party vetted by Microsoft.

Controls:
Both versions support mice and keyboards, but only one of them supports controllers. Although Mojang was released in 2010, it has not yet implemented the Java version of controller support.

For most PC-oriented gamers, this is not a problem. However, if you want to jump out of the darkness of console gaming and onto PC, you will need to install an additional program like Joy ToKey to get a controller.

On Windows 10 Edition, plug in a controller and it will work. In this case, even if you don't use the controller function, more functions are better than fewer.

Crossplay:
In the Windows version, everyone can play with players on other devices such as https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/xbox-one-external-hard-drive-format.html, Android, IOS and the https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/set-up-emummc-emunand-on-nitendo-switch.html. If you play with other players, you'll need to register a free Xbox Live account. Since this feature isn't available for the Java Edition, Minecraft Windows 10 Edition has an absolute advantage.

Server:
Two versions have servers. The only problem is that we're using two different versions of the same game - the Java Edition can't connect to the Windows 10 server, while Windows 10 can't connect to the Java Edition server.

So the most important point when choosing an edition is to see which servers you like.

System resource consumption:
The Java edition of Minecraft is more resource intensive than the Windows 10 edition. This is more of a Java problem than a Minecraft problem. This is because the Java edition of Minecraft is a full application while the Windows 10 edition is a Minecraft PE or mobile. You will find that Java Minecraft is not as resource intensive when you compare it to other full application games like Fortenite, Apex Legends, Creativerse, etc.

So if you don't want to modify the game any further, then using Windows 10 Edition is a better idea.

That's all of the content in Minecraft Java Edition compared to Windows 10

Definitely Java in my opinion. There are small differences and both versions are programmed in different programming languages and are not compatible with each other, so you can't play on servers of the other version. There are better servers for Java (in my opinion), and it is generally better. The Bedrock version (i.e. Windows 10 Edition) is actually only good for PC players to play on Bedrock servers, e.g. If you have friends who play on the mobile phone or console.

I don't know if it's still the case (I suspect it doesn't work anymore), but in the past you also got the Bedrock Edition for PC (namely Windows 10 Edition) for free with Java.

By the way, here is the original English article: https://www.google.com/...a-020.html

If you have a good command of English, you should understand more than the version of the answerer translated by Google.

You already know that English pounds are given there?

so if you are already making the "effort" to copy an article, then right…

The version that most streamers and Youtubers use is the Java Edition.
