Minecraft It is one of those games that marks history. It’s a sandbox game where you can literally do whatever you want, from taking a walk to building your own city or fortress. This game was initially developed in Java, which allowed it to reach all kinds of players, regardless of the operating system they used. Seeing its success, Microsoft decided to buy Mojang (developer of the game) and give the company the resources to take the game to a new level.
After many improvements, two editions, a market and several spin-offs, to this day it continues to be one of those sagas that has made history. These spin-offs aside, the main Minecraft game is divided into two editions. On the one hand, you have the Java edition, the original one. This allows you to play as the game was in its origins, with the possibility of installing mods and a large number of possibilities. And on the other hand you have the edition of Windows, in UWP format; much more modern, with features like ray tracingand more focused on being a game as a service, with its own store and more content.
These two versions have been living separately for a long time. On the one hand, you could buy the Java version, and on the other, the Windows edition. However, a year ago, Microsoft decided to unite the two editions of the game in what is now known as “Minecraft Bedrock Edition”. Thanks to this, buying a single edition you can play both versions of the game.
In 2020, Mojang announced the need for users to will migrate their accounts to Microsoft in order to continue using the game. This has been done to simplify the login process and bring the entire experience of this title together in one place. The maximum term was set at 2022, although it was finally extended to 2023. And, although many users have already updated their accounts, there are still a large number of them who continue to use their Mojang account to play this game. And this, very soon, can cause serious problems.
Update your Minecraft account NOW and receive another gift game
Since last year, when Microsoft released the Bedrock Edition, all users who already own one of the two games (it doesn’t matter if it’s the UWP or Java version), will automatically receive Minecraft Bedrock Edition, which will give access to both editions of the game. Of course, as long as you already have the account migrated to a Microsoft Account. In this way, this should be the first incentive to carry out this update. The second reason is that if you don’t do it before September 14, we will not be able to return to Minecraft Java Edition.
Mojang has published a list of frequently asked questions in order to help users make migrating their accounts as easy as possible. Finally, if you do it now, Microsoft also gives you a free game capeso that you can wear it on your journeys.
