Earlier this year we mentioned that Mojang Studios had announced that later this year they would be combining Bedrock and JAVA to be sold together. No longer do you need to pick and choose which version of the game to get because you'll get the other as well. Well, we finally have a date for that!
June 7th!
Isn't that the release date of The Wild Update? Yes! They share a date and it is going to be a wonderfully big day for Minecraft!
But what if I already bought one version of Minecraft? Do I have to buy it again? No! You will be able to claim the other version you currently do not own right from your Minecraft Launcher. If it's not there on the 7th, please give it a few days as Mojang Studios says that it could take a little time as this rolls out to all eligible players.
Updated June 8th
Are you having trouble claiming your copy? Mojang Studios has put out an FAQ with some troubleshooting methods.

I already bought both MCJE and MCBE for Windows with my same single Microsoft Account for very long time, what will I get on June 7th?
If you own both you already have what the offer covers. There is no compensation for owning/purchasing each individually.
Cool, ig, time for my new addiction
Ahh justification for a price hike amirite?
I can see some reason to this but at the same time while it may be a 'deal' or 'less confusing' I can see the price being higher for two versions instead of one no doubt otherwise the account migration part is done so of course that's out of the way and makes sense for this to go between both sure besides the annoyance it caused.
But I mean is it that big of a deal eh. I'm not disappointed as I got Bedrock free as a 2012 owner of Java and even if I had to pay separate for Bedrock it would be years ago and like with a Definitive Edition of a game I wouldn't be disappointed by owners getting that over the original copy at all but I do think that this is a surprising time to do this now though (I don't care for DLC and otherwise more power to those that want a Definitive Edition, but I barely use the content in them if it's the only copy I can find of a game and mods on Java Edition are free versus Bedrock being particular for Behaviourpacks and the rest of the fan content I'd go Java any day and don't care for multiplayer but do performance but either way that's not what this forum post is about obviously).
If older owners got it I don't expect a cape or anything special nor do I care either way if they did but still. While a nice thing to avoid complications/confusion and just giving people versions that are new customers I don't expect consoles to get a benefit either as they sell those separate (Bedrock Windows and Bedrock console deal I mean) but then again there was the upgrades of PS4 before to PS4 Bedrock and same with Switch and Xbox One so not saying it's a bad thing Java/Bedrock combined is a bad thing but eh.
Don't really know whether to care for those new to buying the game and getting it this way or just a case of 'ok cool' I guess. It's a fine thing to announce besides the 1.19 update but still. Eh take or leave even if it doesn't impact me of course and is beneficial to new customers/players.
Time to finally hit the other version and see how bad it is.
Hi I:m a Minecraft fan. The wild update is today but I'm sad they removed remaking the birch forest Everyone thinks they are boring. Today's my mom's birthday and I want to celebrate by enjoying the update. Thanks for the update. I think it's the best.
Hi, so basicly my problem is with opening minecraft launcher. Yesterday, the day when update that connected both versions of minecraft went live, it all wokred fine, but today i can only open bedrock edition, because launcher which is used to open Java edition doesn't work. It says ‘unable to update Native Launcher.’
I tried to reinstall, reset and fix the problem, but its still the same, any ideas?
Mojang released an FAQ and lists an issue you were running into. Maybe try the steps listed in their article?
