Minecraft Bedrock Edition Official Launcher Has RELEASED!

So last week i brought you this video minecraft bedrock edition is getting an official launcher well guess what today is the day the official minecraft twitter account posted this turn up that jukebox and light up the skies in fireworks minecraft is now included in game pass for pc that means access to

Both bedrock and java in your subscription plus a unified launcher for both editions so what i’m gonna do in today’s video is go through this launcher show you what it looks like i’m pretty sure you’re gonna have questions like how does it work is there a version

Switcher is it basically the same as minecraft java edition now this is a monumental step for minecraft bedrock edition i believe this is the beginning and i expect this to be expanded over time for those who are interested in checking it out here’s just a quick reminder matt garski who is a minecraft

Community manager tweeted this saying minecraft bedrock and java are releasing on xbox game pass for pc we just hit the go button and everything is still propagating through the servers if you’re receiving an error when launching this should be resolved shortly so there’s still a couple of issues with it

A lot of people are trying to access it but lucky enough i managed to get access so let’s check it out so for those who are interested first step is head over to the microsoft store head over to the search and type in minecraft launcher it should be the first one

Which is this one minecraft launcher game is owned i went ahead and already installed this it doesn’t cost you anything to download this even if you don’t have access to game pass or any of these versions it is still available there’s a couple of system requirements

And reviews of course uh you’ve got more information minecraft for windows uh minecraft java edition and minecraft dungeons pretty much all in in one space now of course it releases today which is the 2nd of november 2021 and then all we’re gonna do is just hit play

Now when you load this up for the first time it is going to ask you to log in it’s going to ask for your mojang account or it’s going to ask for your microsoft account if you have migrated already on minecraft java edition all you want to do is log in with your

Microsoft account if you haven’t had access to the migration you’re just going to for the time being log in with your mojang account i believe so it’s just called minecraft launcher this is my account which is the real echo which is the microsoft account that i um used to

Migrate now currently we’re on minecraft java edition this is minecraft for windows and of course this is uh dungeons as well there is also a faq which i’m gonna go through as well it’s pretty simple so i have just realized if i try and now open the minecraft java

Edition launcher it pops up with this so i think the most recent download that i’ve just got from the store for this launcher literally just throws windows 10 in in the mix now let’s start off with java edition java edition of course has access to betas the latest versions

You’ve got installations able to make a new installation you’re able to access obviously the optifine and things like that uh if we go back i’m able to enable snapshots new installation and this is something a lot of you guys are going to be asking does it have

Access to this so let’s forget about the minecraft java version you’ve got play installation skins and patch notes etc let’s focus on minecraft for windows you’ll notice a difference here so minecraft we have access to different versions for minecraft windows 10 the bedrock edition right now there’s no access all right it’s

Currently locked to the latest version will there be a version switcher i believe at some point it is definitely coming this is definitely a step in the right direction um let’s go to settings real quick it just explains a couple of settings you’ve got use beta version of the

Launcher okay so we can access this as well keep the launcher open while game is running animated transitions uh there’s a couple of basic settings inside of here uh for now i’ll leave them all disabled just because i will mess with these in in fact doesn’t really matter let’s just

Enable them so keep game running animate play button i mean guess why not disabled hardware acceleration requires restarting the launcher open output okay so you got some basic things there um let’s go to faq which we are gonna go through this directly there’s a lot more questions here uh we’ve got

Installations so this is the big difference here between minecraft java edition and the bedrock version java edition installations we have the ability to literally go to i don’t know as far back as you wish uh in fact let’s just disable snapshots new version but

We can go back to like version one if we wanted to you guys get the idea and this is something that everybody wants on bedrock currently there’s no option it’s simple minecraft for windows 10 installation uninstall but again don’t be too disheartened because i think this is definitely a

Step in the right direction on a positive we do have access to patch notes via the launcher obviously the latest one being 1.17.41 very very basic hot fix change 1.17.40 a very very big update so that’s nice to see everything in terms of patches are the exact same

As java edition java edition patch notes it’s just so simple keeping everything in an in-house launcher of course if you’re into minecraft dungeons we do have access to this as well so again there is an faq i’m gonna go through the ones that were posted on the official

Website because this is only a handful of uh questions before we do that though obviously i should probably hit play and just show you how it boots up it’s incredibly simple play and minecraft is gonna pop up so as it mentioned it’s only currently supporting the latest full release

Fingers crossed they have plans to add the beta alrighty let’s go through the faq i will leave a link down below to this page there is a lot of questions that have been asked and answered by the minecraft team there’s a couple of key things that i want to go through that

Have been asked by the community first one right here will minecraft story mode be available through this launcher and the answer is no minecraft story mode is no longer being developed or supported so the chances of minecraft story mode ever coming back has just been crushed looks

Like it’s happened and it’s not coming back this is a very good question is the beta version of the game available in the launcher it says for minecraft bedrock edition currently only the published version of the game are available it says for minecraft java edition you are able to play older

Releases and new snapshots but i think this is definitely a step in the right direction the launcher is pretty new i wasn’t expecting a version uh switcher right off the bat i wasn’t expecting to access the beta right off the bat but if you’re a minecraft bedrock player we

Know how frustrating it is to join beta leave beta reinstall a version uninstall a version the developers know this and i think this launcher is a step to give access to players to join beta leave beta play for release without any problems at all this is very good news

This next question does this mean players on java and bedrock can cross play no cross play between java edition and bedrock is not supported maybe one day that will change but like i mentioned there is a couple more questions there feel free to pause the

Video or feel free to go and check out the link in the description if you’re interested in a couple more details about this so like i showed you in my previous video there is an unofficial minecraft bedrock launcher this is the official one and this one right here is

The unofficial one obviously minecraft bedrock edition not associated or approved by mojang installations you are able to version switch with this whether it’s the latest betas or whether it’s the latest or previous uh normal versions as well so yeah this is basically what players want

To see and i expect this to be a thing in the future as well um again the fan made bedrock launcher is pretty good i just hope an official launcher will make things so much easier so that’s it for today’s video i will keep you all updated if anything changes with this

Currently it’s only accessible via the windows uh store it’s not available on ios not available on android or xbox or switch or playstation but who knows what the future holds for minecraft we never thought minecraft would come this far and still here today breaking record so

Have a great day stay beautiful leave a couple links down below i’ll see you all in the next video goodbye You
