Bedrock codebase

The term "Bedrock Edition" originates from the Bedrock codebase, which was created in the C++ programming language to run on platforms that cannot support Java. Code was added to accommodate differences in the target platforms for such facilities as networking and storage access, though around 90% of the code is used on every platform.^{[citation needed]} This common core of functionality is called the "Bedrock Engine".^[29]

The codebase resides within a software system that manages the pieces of code and tracks their evolution. This allows the codebase to host not only the current version but all past versions, the standalone Bedrock Dedicated Server (BDS) versions, and several Beta versions simultaneously with no conflicts.

Target platform builds are created individually, then transmitted to the platform's app store. Most stores have their own compliance requirements and subject the incoming edition to a series of certification tests before making it available for download. Xbox Game Studios attempts to synchronize availability across stores, but the certification process is not under their control and can delay an edition's availability on a certain platform, especially if it fails certification and has to go back to the developers for a fix.

Bedrock code is used for Minecraft Education, China Edition, Minecraft Dungeons, and Minecraft Legends, as well as the discontinued Pi Edition, New Nintendo 3DS Edition, and Minecraft Earth.

Nomenclature

Up until June 7, 2022^[30], the name "Bedrock Edition" was not the official name of any edition of the game. Starting with the Better Together Update, all Bedrock editions of Minecraft have been named simply Minecraft. Before then, they each had a subtitle identifying the target platform, including Pocket Edition (for all mobile platforms), Windows 10 Edition, Gear VR Edition, and Fire TV Edition. The earliest of these was Pocket Edition, also known as "MCPE" or "PE", and these names were (and still are) sometimes used to refer to all the Bedrock editions, possibly even including those that were introduced after the renaming occurred.

The renaming of the Bedrock editions to Minecraft with no "Edition" subtitles created confusion in the community for several reasons:

This name had, until then, referred to the version now known as Java Edition, which is not Bedrock Edition. The Java version was renamed to Minecraft: Java Edition at the same time the Bedrock editions were renamed to Minecraft, so for a while any use of the name was hopelessly ambiguous.
Although officially named simply Minecraft, the Bedrock editions for consoles are marketed as Minecraft for Xbox, Minecraft for Nintendo Switch, and Minecraft for PlayStation 4.^[31]^[32]^[33] These names are similar to the Legacy Console Editions on the same platforms, styled as Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition, and Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition, leaving many confused about the differences between the two versions.
The term "Minecraft" was (and still is) also commonly used to refer to the game in general.

Together, these complications made the official name Minecraft useless for referring to the Bedrock editions collectively. The editors of this wiki, however, needed such a term in order to describe the functioning of the Bedrock Engine across all editions, so despite there not being a real Bedrock Edition, the wiki chose to use this as a term of art. Subsequently, the community adopted it as well and it is now the de facto standard term for referring to all the Bedrock editions collectively. Mojang Studios employees have also used Bedrock Edition to refer to said edition in news articles, until June 7, 2022 where both Java Edition for PC and Bedrock Edition for Windows are sold under one bundle, titled Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC, marking the first official use of "Bedrock Edition" as a subtitle in any Bedrock editions.^[34]

Gameplay

The objective of the game remains the same as its Java Edition and Legacy Console Edition counterparts, where players can build virtual realities in a sandbox-like environment. Like them, Bedrock Edition has survival elements such as hunger and brewing, and the Nether and the End dimensions. The multiplayer mode is cross-platform compatible between all supported devices.^[35]

Bedrock Edition differs from Java Edition and Legacy Console Edition in a variety of ways, such as more saturated graphics, different terrain generation, some exclusive items, and an official add-on system.^[36] The HUD and other elements vary for each relevant device. Players can interact with the game via a keyboard and mouse, touchscreen, or a gamepad.

Differences from Java Edition include:

Some mobs, blocks and items behave and look differently from their Java Edition counterparts.
Multiplayer allows for 4 ways of player connection:
- LAN, allowing for 8 or more players to be on a single world
- Realms
- a user-created external server
- A Microsoft account. However, since December 1, 2020, Java Edition also uses Microsoft accounts.^[37]
A list of "featured" (Mojang Studios partner) servers, offering predefined multiplayer minigames in a Minecraft setting, is also provided.
A system to modify the game created and maintained by Mojang Studios

Some features of Bedrock Edition are available only on certain platforms.

Virtual reality is available only on Windows and PlayStation.
Importing or exporting worlds is supported only on Windows.
Joining servers through IP isn't supported by Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or PlayStation.
Windows and mobile devices supports all three different control types. "Keyboard & Mouse", "Controller", and "Touch".
- Xbox and PlayStation supports both "Keyboard & Mouse" and "Controller".

Some devices below these specifications have been known to work fine either with or without custom ROM images, kernels, and overclocking of the CPU. The MSM7227 CPU is not supported due to its lack of the floating-point unit.^[40] The "Tegra 2" processor is also not supported because it lacks support for Neon.

Development

Release

A video of an early prototype was released on Twitter (now X), showing the game on the Xperia PLAY. The Alpha version was later released, and was released for different platforms on October 7, 2011. The non-exclusive version was going to be released on September 29 for Android^[41] but there were several severe bugs that needed to be fixed; the release was delayed until October 7.

A version for iOS devices was confirmed to be released before 2012 in an interview with Mojang Studios^[42] and was subsequently released on November 17, 2011.

Alpha

After the initial releases for Android and iOS, updates were released in parallel, with the same features being added for both platforms. During the Alpha stage, various aspects of gameplay were introduced into the Bedrock codebase including: crafting, smelting, more blocks, items, mobs and more game modes to bring it closer to the Java Edition. As the Pocket Edition development team works closely, often blocks released on the Java Edition are released around the same time for Pocket Edition. Certain features were also tested on Pocket Edition before their Java releases, such as beetroots and their related items, and also block models.

During the Alpha phase, the Bedrock codebase was ported to more platforms: first, Pocket Edition was released for Fire on September 13, 2012, and for Windows Phone on December 10, 2014. The Windows 10 Edition Beta was released on July 29, 2015, at a higher price than Pocket Edition. Gear VR Edition was released April 27, 2016 for the same price as Pocket Edition.

Two other versions of Minecraft that are based on the Bedrock codebase, but separate from Bedrock Edition, were also released during this period. Pi Edition is a free and discontinued version of Minecraft for the Raspberry Pi, which was based on an old alpha version of Bedrock. Minecraft Education was released for Windows and macOS on November 1, 2016.

Full release

On November 11, 2016, the full release of the game, version 1.0.0 (dubbed the Ender Update), was announced. It was released on December 19, 2016, along with the Apple TV Edition and Fire TV Edition. Pocket Edition began to receive updates again for Windows 10 Mobile on February 22, 2017.^[43]

From version 1.2.0, the Better Together Update, the Bedrock editions no longer have the "Edition" subtitle and are renamed to simply Minecraft.^[44] A port of Bedrock Edition for Xbox One was released along with the update, and one for the Nintendo Switch was released digitally and physically on June 21, 2018.^[45] PlayStation 4 users received the Bedrock Edition with the 1.14.0 update on December 10, 2019.^[46] Owners of the original Legacy Console Edition for these consoles are able to download the new version for free. In October 2020, the Gear VR and Windows 10 Mobile editions of the game were discontinued.^[47] In June 2021, the Fire TV edition of the game was discontinued.^[48]

Beta and Preview test versions

Starting on November 22, 2013,^[49] Mojang Studios began to publicly release testing versions of full updates to Android users who opt into the beta program, in order to get major feedback, especially for bug reporting. This enabled the official updates to be considerably more stable.

Versions from 0.8.0 to 0.12.1 required opting into a Google+ group to receive development builds. Players would then see development updates appear as normal updates in the Play Store. On July 17, 2015, the Google+ group was removed due to the amount of spam and advertisements that the group attracted.^[50]^[51]^[52] On November 3, 2015, the PE Beta team published a dedicated blog^[53] that was subsequently used for users to opt into the 0.13.0 beta program and to display changelogs for these development builds.

The Xbox Insider Hub app is used to opt into the beta program on Windows since July 31, 2017, and on Xbox One since August 24. Before the release of the Better Together Update, the Xbox One beta was available only to owners of the digital version of the original Xbox One Edition, and not owners of the disc version.

Starting on January 31, 2022, the beta program was expanded to other platforms, starting with iOS and iPadOS, with Minecraft Preview.^[54] The previous beta program through Xbox Insider Hub has been phased out and replaced by Minecraft Preview.

Players can also test unfinished or work-in-progress features using Experimental Gameplay, a toggle that can be turned on through world settings, but once on, it cannot be turned off again in that world.

Price

Although all Bedrock editions are nearly identical, the price^{[note 1]} varies depending on the platform. The Android, iOS/iPadOS, and Fire versions cost US$6.99 (£6.99), while the ChromeOS, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 versions cost US$19.99 (£19.99, £16.74, and £12.99 respectively). The Windows and Nintendo Switch versions are the most expensive, both costing US$29.99 (£24.99 and £19.99 respectively), though the Windows version includes Java Edition and the Nintendo Switch version includes some DLC. DLC purchased from the Marketplace on one platform is usable on all other platforms, but the game itself is sold separately on each platform. Xbox achievements are not shared between platforms and buying the game on one of these platforms does not get the game on the others. The Xbox One and Windows versions are also playable to Xbox Game Pass for Console and PC Game Pass subscribers respectively, with both versions playable to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.^[55]^[31] The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions are playable on the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 respectively via backward compatibility.^[31]^[56] As with all other versions of Minecraft, updates are free of charge. On Windows, the game can be launched via the Minecraft Launcher.

Sales

As of December 2013, Pocket Edition (the only Bedrock Codebase edition at the time) had sold 16.5 million copies, while at the same time, the Java Edition had sold 13 million. These calculations came out after the 0.8.0 update.^[57] This was considered a huge success, with Pocket Edition outselling both Java Edition and Legacy Console Edition, despite being considered to be the least-developed at the time.

On December 2, 2016, Marsh Davies announced that Pocket Edition had sold over 40 million copies^[58] (at the time, Java Edition had sold over 24 million). This statistic included Windows 10 Edition and Gear VR Edition.

Minecraft is also usually in the top 10 and regularly #1 in the Apple App Store's and Google Play's Paid Apps Section in the Top Charts.^[59]^[60]

-'''Bedrock Edition''' (also known as the '''Bedrock editions''', '''Bedrock versions''', or just '''Bedrock''') refers to the multi-platform family of editions of ''[[Minecraft]]'' developed by [[Mojang Studios]], [[Xbox Game Studios]], [[4J Studios]], and [[SkyBox Labs]]. Prior to this term, as the engine originated with ''[[Pocket Edition]]'', this entire product family was referred to as "''Pocket Edition''", "''MCPE''", or "''Pocket/Windows 10 Edition''", to which it is still frequently referred to as.

Create, explore, and survive alone or with friends on mobile, PC, and console devices.|[[minecraft.net]]|''Minecraft: Bedrock Edition''}}[[File:Minecraft horizontal key art.webp|250px|thumb|Key art by Mojang Studios]]
+'''''Minecraft: Bedrock Edition''''' (only '''''Minecraft''''' on most platforms and in-game) refers to the multi-platform versions of ''[[Minecraft]]'' developed by [[Mojang Studios]], [[Xbox Game Studios]], and [[SkyBox Labs]] and based on the [[#Bedrock codebase|Bedrock codebase]].
-All Bedrock editions of ''Minecraft'' use the title '''''Minecraft''''' with no subtitle. The latest Bedrock Edition version is {{v|bedrock}}. Before the [[Better Together Update]], they had different subtitles on each platform, including {{el|pe}} (for all mobile platforms), ''[[Windows 10 Edition]]'', ''[[Gear VR Edition]]'', and ''[[Fire TV Edition]]''. ''[[Apple TV Edition]]'' was discontinued shortly afterwards, thus it was no longer updated and removed from the App Store on Apple TV devices.
+== Bedrock codebase ==
-Although all Bedrock versions are nearly identical, the price<ref group="note">''Minecraft'' is sold in {{w|United_States_dollar|USD}} by the publishers, conversions vary from different distributors.</ref> varies depending on the platform. Mobile versions are {{w|United_States_dollar|US$}}6.99. PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Fire TV versions cost US$19.99. The Windows 10 version costs US$26.99, and the Nintendo Switch version is the most expensive, costing US$29.99. DLC purchased from the [[Marketplace]] on one platform is usable on all other platforms, but the game itself is sold separately on each platform. Xbox Live [[achievements]] are not shared between platforms, and buying the game on one of these platforms does not get the game on the others. Despite all being {{w|Universal Windows Platform|UWP}} apps, ''Minecraft'' is sold as 3 separate apps at different prices on Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, and Xbox One. The Xbox One version is also playable to Xbox Game Pass subscribers. As with all other versions of ''Minecraft'', updates are free of charge.
+The term "Bedrock Edition" originates from the Bedrock codebase, which was created in the {{W|C++}} programming language to run on platforms that cannot support {{w|Java (programming language)|Java}}. Code was added to accommodate differences in the target platforms for such facilities as networking and storage access, though around 90% of the code is used on every platform.{{cn}} This common core of functionality is called the "Bedrock Engine".<ref>https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/better-together-faq</ref>
+The codebase resides within a software system that manages the pieces of code and tracks their evolution. This allows the codebase to host not only the current version but all past versions, the standalone [[Bedrock Dedicated Server]] (BDS) versions, and several Beta versions simultaneously with no conflicts.
-Playing an older version? Read this.
+Target platform builds are created individually, then transmitted to the platform's app store. Most stores have their own compliance requirements and subject the incoming edition to a series of certification tests before making it available for download. [[Xbox Game Studios]] attempts to synchronize availability across stores, but the certification process is not under their control and can delay an edition's availability on a certain platform, especially if it fails certification and has to go back to the developers for a fix.
-To ensure that we can devote our resources to the platforms where the most Crafters are playing, we are ending support for certain older devices and platforms where Minecraft is available. Effective in October 2020, Minecraft will no longer be updated or supported on Gear VR, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 Desktop ARM devices, Android devices with less than 768MB of RAM, iOS devices running iOS 10 or below, or video cards that only support DirectX 10.1 or below.
+Bedrock code is used for {{el|ee}}, {{el|ce}}, {{el|mcd}}, and {{el|mcl}}, as well as the discontinued {{el|pi}}, {{el|ds}}, and {{el|mce}}.
-This will prevent current players on Gear VR and Windows 10 Mobile, and Windows 10 Desktop ARM devices from using multiplayer or Realms from these unsupported devices.
+== Nomenclature ==
-Players on affected Android or iOS devices who have a Realms subscription, will be able to continue accessing their Realm from affected devices until they choose to update it on a different device. Multiplayer will only work between devices on the same version.
+Up until June 7, 2022<ref>https://minecraft.net/article/java---bedrock-edition-pc-out-june-7</ref>, the name "''Bedrock Edition''" was not the official name of any edition of the game. Starting with the [[Better Together Update]], all Bedrock editions of ''Minecraft'' have been named simply '''''Minecraft'''''. Before then, they each had a subtitle identifying the target platform, including {{el|pe}} (for all mobile platforms), {{el|Windows 10}}, {{el|Gear VR}}, and {{el|Fire TV}}. The earliest of these was {{el|pe|nl=1}}, also known as "MCPE" or "PE", and these names were (and still are) sometimes used to refer to all the Bedrock editions, possibly even including those that were introduced after the renaming occurred.
+The renaming of the Bedrock editions to ''Minecraft'' with no "Edition" subtitles created confusion in the community for several reasons:
-If you are playing on any of these devices, after October 2020, you can continue to play Minecraft. You can keep building in your world, and your Marketplace purchases (including Minecoins) will continue to be available. If you have signed in with a Microsoft/Xbox Live account, your Marketplace purchases & Minecoins and your Realms subscription will be available on other platforms.If you would like to move your worlds from this device to another device, you can do so by uploading the world to a Realm, and downloading a backup onto your new device. Or you can transfer your world files off the device directly by following these instructions.
+*This name had, until then, referred to the version now known as {{JE}}, which is not Bedrock Edition. The Java version was renamed to ''Minecraft: Java Edition'' at the same time the Bedrock editions were renamed to ''Minecraft'', so for a while any use of the name was hopelessly ambiguous.
+*Although officially named simply ''Minecraft'', the Bedrock editions for consoles are marketed as ''Minecraft for Xbox'', ''Minecraft for Nintendo Switch'', and ''Minecraft for PlayStation 4''.<ref name="Xbox" /><ref>[https://minecraft.net/store/minecraft-switch Minecraft for Nintendo Switch | Minecraft]</ref><ref>[https://minecraft.net/store/minecraft-ps4 Minecraft for PlayStation 4 | Minecraft]</ref> These names are similar to the {{el|lce}}s on the same platforms, styled as ''Minecraft: Xbox One Edition'', ''Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition'', and ''Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition'', leaving many confused about the differences between the two versions.
+*The term "Minecraft" was (and still is) also commonly used to refer to the game in general.
+Together, these complications made the official name ''Minecraft'' useless for referring to the Bedrock editions collectively. The editors of this wiki, however, needed such a term in order to describe the functioning of the Bedrock Engine across all editions, so despite there not being a real Bedrock Edition, the wiki chose to use this as a {{w|Jargon#Industry term|term of art}}. Subsequently, the community adopted it as well and it is now the de facto standard term for referring to all the Bedrock editions collectively. [[Mojang Studios]] employees have also used Bedrock Edition to refer to said edition in news articles, until June 7, 2022 where both ''Java Edition'' for PC and Bedrock Edition for Windows are sold under one bundle, titled '''''Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC''''', marking the first official use of "''Bedrock Edition''" as a subtitle in any Bedrock editions.<ref>https://youtu.be/qNMfF9TYETM</ref>
-If you have been playing Minecraft Realms subscription on one of these devices and would like to request a refund after October 2020, please contact the support teams for the store applicable to your device:
-Gear VR
-Microsoft Support (Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 Desktop ARM, PC Direct X 10.1 GPUs)
-Apple (iOS10)
-Android (768MB RAM)

 {{main|Bedrock Edition Alpha}}
+After the initial releases for Android and iOS, updates were released in parallel, with the same features being added for both platforms. During the Alpha stage, various aspects of gameplay were introduced into the Bedrock codebase including: [[crafting]], [[smelting]], more [[blocks]], [[items]], [[mobs]] and more game modes to bring it closer to the ''Java Edition''. As the ''Pocket Edition'' development team works closely, often blocks released on the ''Java Edition'' are released around the same time for ''Pocket Edition''. Certain features were also tested on ''Pocket Edition'' before their Java releases, such as [[beetroot]]s and their related items, and also [[block model]]s.
+During the Alpha phase, the Bedrock codebase was ported to more platforms: first, ''Pocket Edition'' was released for Fire on September 13, 2012, and for Windows Phone on December 10, 2014. The {{el|Windows 10}} Beta was released on July 29, 2015, at a higher price than ''Pocket Edition''. {{el|Gear VR}} was released April 27, 2016 for the same price as ''Pocket Edition''.

+Although all Bedrock editions are nearly identical, the price<ref group="note">''Minecraft'' is sold in {{w|United States dollar|USD}} by the publishers, conversions vary from different distributors.</ref> varies depending on the platform. The Android, iOS/iPadOS, and Fire versions cost {{w|United States dollar|US$}}6.99 ({{w|Pound sterling|£}}6.99), while the ChromeOS, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 versions cost US$19.99 (£19.99, £16.74, and £12.99 respectively). The Windows and Nintendo Switch versions are the most expensive, both costing US$29.99 (£24.99 and £19.99 respectively), though the Windows version includes ''Java Edition'' and the Nintendo Switch version includes some DLC. DLC purchased from the [[Marketplace]] on one platform is usable on all other platforms, but the game itself is sold separately on each platform. Xbox [[achievements]] are not shared between platforms and buying the game on one of these platforms does not get the game on the others. The Xbox One and Windows versions are also playable to Xbox Game Pass for Console and PC Game Pass subscribers respectively, with both versions playable to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.<ref>[https://minecraft.net/store/minecraft-java-bedrock-edition-pc Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC | Minecraft]</ref><ref name="Xbox">[https://minecraft.net/store/minecraft-xbox-one Minecraft for Xbox | Minecraft]</ref> The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions are playable on the {{w|Xbox Series X and Series S|Xbox Series X&#124;S}} and {{w|PlayStation 5}} respectively via backward compatibility.<ref name="Xbox" /><ref>[https://playstation.com/games/minecraft Minecraft - PS4 Games | PlayStation]</ref> As with all other versions of ''Minecraft'', updates are free of charge.
