Minecraft Microsoft Windows 10 Edition Update Thread

Hello!

We have exciting news to share! A whole new version of Minecraft is on its way. This time, it’s for Windows 10 – Microsoft’s new swanky operating system that’s due for release on July 29th.

We’re calling it Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta.

Just like the first release of Minecraft all those years ago, this version will develop and evolve over time with the help of your feedback. That’s why it has “Beta” in the title – because it’s not quite finished, and will become even more fun over time. Just like the other versions of Minecraft, all future updates will be free. We spoil you. We really do.

If you’re one of the 20 million(!) players who have the PC edition of Minecraft (referred to by techy people as the Java version) you’ll be able to download Windows 10 Edition Beta from the Windows 10 store for free. Other players can get it for the paltry price of $10 during the beta period (the length of which is still being decided).

Minecraft is available on Windows, Mac, Windows Phone, iOS, Android, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and PS Vita, and now, Windows 10. Not every version of Minecraft is exactly the same, but they all feature two distinct game modes – Creative and Survival – that cater to different types of players. All versions of Minecraft support multiplayer.

THE “MINECRAFT: WINDOWS 10 EDITION” BETA WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD IN THE WINDOWS 10 STORE BEGINNING JULY 29. PLAYERS WHO ALREADY HAVE THE PC EDITION OF “MINECRAFT” WILL BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE WINDOWS 10 BETA VERSION FREE. OTHERS CAN DOWNLOAD “MINECRAFT: WINDOWS 10 EDITION” AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE OF $10 THROUGHOUT THE BETA PERIOD. PLAYERS WHO DOWNLOAD “MINECRAFT: WINDOWS 10 EDITION” DURING THE BETA PHASE WILL STILL HAVE THE GAME WHEN IT COMES OUT OF BETA, AND RECEIVE ALL FUTURE UPDATES TO THE GAME AT NO ADDITIONAL COST.

i know you just recently updated and added a few things but the servers for pe still wont let me craft and since you have the connectivity to xbox the pe did the same thing and I had to start over and I've lost all my stuff on the servers and cant change my name without changing my actual xbox account name to get my stuff back. please make it so we can change our minecraft name without doing all that. When will there be a way to add mods, and usable servers? And finally the connection to my xbox friends doesn't work.

Sorry but the Windows 10 Minecraft version is extremely crappy. Not only is it the pocket edition with just pc controls but it's also slow and badly portrayed.
