I’m curious if purchasing the Java Edition on Windows comes with a free version of the Bedrock Edition. Is there any bundled option, or do I need to buy them separately? Thanks in advance for any insights!

It can also depend on where you buy it from; some platforms might offer deals that include both. Just make sure you read the details before buying!

You will need to buy Bedrock separately unless there’s a specific bundle. They are distinct versions, and buying one doesn’t grant access to the other.

Yes, if you buy Java Edition, you don’t automatically get Bedrock for free. It’s better to check their store because they sometimes sell bundles, but usually, you have to get each version separately.

Also, if you’re planning to play on a different computer, yes, you’ll usually need to buy another copy for that device.
