So, you’re wondering if the Minecraft version you get on Windows is Bedrock or Java, right? Well, you’re in the right place to find out!

Let’s clear up the confusion: when you download Minecraft for Windows, do you get the Bedrock version or the Java edition? It’s time to dive into the details and get you the answers you’re looking for.

Short Answer: Both Versions Are Available!

Minecraft offers two main versions: Bedrock and Java. Guess what? Both are available for Windows users! That’s right, you can choose which one you want to play based on your preferences.
