There are two Minecraft versions for a pc:
Minecraft Java edition costs 26.00$ for a one-time fee, and Minecraft windows 10 edition costs 29.00$ for a one-time fee. Usually, most people will buy one or the other. They both have separate apps to download so they aren’t the same app when opening Minecraft. But Minecraft Java edition has more experienced players because everybody who plays on Java edition is playing on a pc and pc’s are easier to move around when playing. But most people who play on windows 10 edition are playing on Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo so since they are playing on controllers it makes it harder to move around and it is overall harder to play than on a pc. I play on both versions of Minecraft, but I prefer playing on Java edition.
