Here's how to download Minecraft for PC. We'll help you make the right choice between the differing versions.

As of today, players who download Minecraft through Xbox Game Pass for PC will play through the unified Minecraft Launcher that handles both the Java and Bedrock Editions.

To play Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition with Game Pass on PC, you'll just need to install the Java & Bedrock Edition from the Microsoft Store page or from the Xbox app for PC.

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

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.
