Tomorrow, Windows 10 will be released. Lucky us, right? Well there's more good news where that comes from.

 

Minecraft [Pocket Edition] has been ported to use a Windows 10 app and we get it for free! Instructions for getting it are right here. https://mojang.com/2...-beta-for-free/

 

I'll say a couple things so people don't get confused. Eh hem.

  1. This is NOT replacing your regular Minecraft install. It's not as feature rich as Java Minecraft, and frankly, I don't think it's great with a mouse/keyboard.
  2. You won't be able to join the server with this. This is a Pocket Edition port after all.
  3. You will need a Microsoft account AND be signed into Xbox Live. If you're not, this will happen.

So I guess discuss.

Nice, I've always wanted an inferior version of what I already have.

no idea why they'd use pocket edition and not either 360 or xbox one ver, since their superior, its likely just testing the water for their own version of mc

This looks as useless as it can get right now. Maybe it's a test for a unified platform approach...?
