Before the release of Minecraft 1.19, Mojang announced that the long-awaited bundle would not arrive with the update since they were having issues interacting with the item on touch devices.

Of the two versions of Minecraft available to download, Java and Bedrock, which is the better choice? The answer lies in these distinctions.

Minecraft: Java Edition is the renamed version of Mojang's original sandbox building game. It was simply called Minecraft until it was renamed to add Java Edition in 2017.

"Minecraft: Java Edition" gets native Apple Silicon support in "The Wild Update" version 1.19 which also introduces new biomes.
