When did this get implemented? I'm guessing with the new non-Java version of the game?

[-] TheronGuard@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

This was in Microsoft's Minecraft launcher, so probably whenever that got introduced. I've only got the Java version though.

If you own Java Edition, you also own Bedrock Edition and vise versa.

I've never used it though shrug-outta-hecks

Is that true? I thought if you had bought java before a certain point you automatically got bedrock when it launched, but it's still just one license?

Yep! If you owned either one before June 7th 2022, you got the other one automatically given to you. And if you didn't own either of them before that date and you buy from the official website you get both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.
