That are grinding for their gems, and would hate to spend their gems on something that's not worth it. But one simple youtube search and I could tell the difference between the two, and so I thought it would be a great idea to help other on gamehag.
I've sadly bought the Windows 10 Edition, because I didn't know the difference. Is more developed and worth your money/gems. Minecraft Win 10 Edition is basically the app you download on your phone, where as Java Edition is actually supposed to be for your computer. There are more blocks on Java Edition, more to craft like the shields, you can carry a torch in your other hand or anything else while still holding that Diamond Sword to protect yourself. Therefore, I recommend buying the Java Edition, as there are more players and as this edition is more developed: by both community, and Mojang. And unless he does too, then you've wasted your money and it's disappointing. Simply go to the official Minecraft website, click on the Get Minecraft button or expand. If you have a friend that plays Minecraft you most likely won't be able to play with him if you have the Win 10 Edition, because she/he most likely has the Java Edition. Yes, it is possible to play Minecraft Java Edition on Windows 10. I'd recommend the Java edition, also also. There are less blocks, and there are newer blocks on the Java edition, so if you want that sweet mansion looking fantastic, amazing, beautiful.

Where as the Win 10 Edition, their latest update their version goes up to 1.1.5. Discover +14 Answers from experts : Windows 10 has the legacy Java Edition as well as the modern Bedrock Edition. I believe that Minecraft Java's Edition has an update that goes up to 1.14.4! Which includes more animals, more pets and I believe more DLCs, newer blocks. Minecraft Java Edition has been developed for more than 10 years, with the community and Mojang, making more and more updates on it. But has less: mods, resource packs and just in general. The windows 10 edition is basically the Minecraft pocket version sensually, so the graphics are the same but not. Gamehag has both of them fortunately, and if you want you can order them both and experiment further. There is a difference ladies and gentlemen!
