I wanted to download Minecraft, but I don't know which version. (I play on the pc)
So I've already watched various videos about it and it matters to me that I can play with friends and make updates. But of course other important things too. Oh and is windows 10 and bedrock the same? Can you recommend something?
Definitely Java! The Windows version is a bit weird and Pocket Edition is only available on mobile phones. In addition, the best servers are only available on Java, because Java also has the most players
Basically the versions are the same apart from a few minor details. But there are also major differences:
It matters to me that I can play with friends
You can always do that - but only the Bedrock version has crossplay - so you can use different consoles.
and can make updates.
You have that in both versions.
windows 10 and bedrock the same?
Yes.
In addition, only the Bedrock version has ray tracing and only the Java version offers mod support (I mean, you can always correct me).
The performance of the Bedrock version is also better.
Do you want to play with friends? What do they have - because the Bedrock version is inherently incompatible with the Java version, so you would have to use the same as your friends. Bedrock also has crossplay with other consoles.
You will get updates for both versions.
There are far more mods available for the Java version, but the general performance is a bit weaker (admittedly, I haven't dealt with the Bedrock version and don't even know whether there's any mod support at all)
Oh, can someone tell me how I can download the Java?
From the official site

Yes

Personally, I would use the Java version, in your case I would make it dependent on your friends
Well, in the end, the Java Edition is much better than the Windows 10 Edition. That's what the downloads say.
My friends don't have Minecraft either, I kind of ask for them
Win 10 (Bedrock) is clearly not the same as Java. These are two completely different versions of the game that you can't mix and match. So if you want to play with your friends, you should use them as a guide.
Bedrock: Win10, Mobile, XBox, PlayStation, Switch
Java: PC only
The original (and especially on Youtube and similar themed) Minecraft is the Java version. Bedrock is less widespread, although it has been very popular lately.
I personally play both, and would still recommend Java. You are freer and have more options (including mods, texture packs, shaders, etc.), and you can find a lot more about them on the Internet.
That's what the downloads say.
Apart from the fact that the Bedrock version is younger and that could be a factor, the sales at Bedrock are much higher.
Minecraft's Java edition was over 30 million as of October 24, 2018

The console version had sold over 57 million times as of September 29th.
The Bedrock version had sold over 68 million copies as of September 29th.
It should be noted that Bedrock and console also belong together.
There are also factors such as performance, cross-platform and ray tracing.
Hi, thanks for your answer, can you tell me where I can download Java? I have a pc with windows 10
On the official Minecraft page http://www.minecraft.net/...ecraft.net
If nobody has it and everyone is playing on the PC, I would recommend Java
Java has a lot more cool things and everything except the game itself is free
