Difference between Minecraft Java Edition and Windows Edition?

I saw that the Java edition costs around 25 euro and the Windows version costs 100 euro, why? I bought the 100 euro version when it was reduced to 3.99 euro, now I have a Minecraft that looks like Minecraft PE and you can't play with others except Minecraft PE players and on servers not one either. I do not understand… Can someone help me?

The Java Edition is only available for the PC. The Windows 10 Editions belongs to the Bedrock Edition. Xbox, PS4 and Switch also belong to the Bedrock Edition.
All people who have the Bedrock Edition can play with each other.
So Xbox, PS4 and Switch can play Minecraft together.

Everyone who has the Java Edition can only play with other people who also have the Java Edition.

The Java Edition is the original Minecraft. Most and known servers are for this version. This costs 24 euro on http://www.minecraft.net/...ecraft.net

The Windows 10 Edition is the Bedrock Edition, which is available on all platforms and for the PC in the Windows 10 Store. Thanks to Crossplay it is possible with his friends on e.g. Playing console together. This costs 27 euro in the Microsoft Store

I definitely recommend the Java edition, but unfortunately I can't really answer your question. In the Java edition you can also play with others (I think).

I'm sorry and greetings

It's just a shame that ray tracing is only available for the Bedrock Edition

Cu

What's this?

Ro

Just enter Raytracing Minecraft, it looks really cool, but you need a 2080ti or something and then the Minecraft Bedrock Edition

Cu

OK?!

If you find something important!

It's nice!

Well the PTGI shader is up a lot nicer and more realistic than the version of Nvidia and uses path tracing as well. The Java version is and remains better than the Bedrock version in every respect

Would be bad if your statement was true.

You can only play on Minecraft PE servers with Minecraft PE / Windows 10 Edition. If you want to play with your friends, you have to buy the Minecraft Java Edition. Unfortunately there's no other option.

Okay thanks. It helps a lot. But why is it so expensive?

do

Thank you so much!

All good! Unfortunately I already bought the Windows Edition because I thought, well for 3 euro… But maybe I'll get the other one…

Cu

That with the price is quite a difference and if you find the Windows Edition better, that's your decision! The Java edition was just my opinion

Ya

Where is it expensive? Gives good games for some 60-80 euro normal price.

Ya

Differences? Win10 = low java = real minecraft.

Well it costs 100 euro for me

I know I don't think she's better…
