so I did everything the instructions asked. It was through xbox live though... I claimed my free windows 10 version. But when I did, it has a version that says "Unlock full game"??? so do I still have to pay for this version? Long story short, my son want's to play bed wars with me on the Mac, and he wants me to use a PC. How is it possible for me to do this? I don't have a problem paying for the game again, but was trying to take advantage of the fact that the Java version is offering a free PC download. But this PC download feels totally different. it also offers a 30 day trial, and I can't add the Hypixel server so the bed wars version is different. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks !
Yes they are different, that's why one is called "Java edition" and not just "Minecraft" - they are incompatible. If you want to play on a mac and PC together, you need 2 Java edition accounts.
