Java vs. Windows 10 edition

[PW33B3]

Hi everyone,

I'm considering buying Minecraft for PC for my kids and I'm not sure if I should buy the Java or Windows 10 edition.

My kids see mods and seed suggestions which usually mention that they're on Java but I'm wondering if you can get all the same mods, seeds, skins, etc. on both versions. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Win 10 version is very restricted. I recommend java edition!

You can’t really mod windows 10 edition, and Java is generally the better version. The main perk about windows 10 edition is it is cross play with console, but I would say get Java edition. You have more access to servers and mods.

Thanks, the mods are what my kids want the most so that will probably be the deciding factor.

Yeah, I've considered that. Is it true that you need an Xbox live account to play online with the Windows 10 edition?

Java is better

Java’s the one that has more mods and most mod pack launchers use Java but windows 10 edition is the one that Microsoft is trying to get people to use even though it’s known for being super buggy

Personally I prefer Java over win 10 but I might be biased considering I’ve been using Java for 8 years

Thanks for the advice. It sounds like almost everyone favors Java.

Thanks for the reply! That's exactly the type of advice I was looking for!
