You'll need a Microsoft account to download Minecraft but that's no sweat to do. Choosing between the two versions, Java and ...

This is because the Minecraft Java Edition and the Minecraft Bedrock Edition – the two versions available on the PC platform – are now being offered in a two-for-one bundle.

Mojang Studios have announced the Minecraft PC Bundle, a package deal that will give Xbox Game Pass for PC users access to both the Java Edition and the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft.

To be more specific, the two versions are Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, and they'll both be available via Xbox's Game Pass for PC service from November 2, 2021.

Minecraft Java Edition players can only cross-play with people on the same version, which is relegated to PC, Mac, and Linux.
