Minecraft Bedrock Edition

Minecraft Bedrock Edition fully supports cross-platform gameplay across all supported devices. On PC, this version is specifically labeled as Bedrock Edition rather than Java Edition. For mobile and console players, it is often just titled "Minecraft", but rest assured—this is the version required for playing with friends across platforms.

It's worth noting that console players may need an online subscription service (such as Xbox Live Gold, PlayStation Plus, or Nintendo Switch Online) to access multiplayer features.

Minecraft Java Edition

By default, Minecraft Java Edition does not support cross-play with Bedrock Edition, meaning Java players cannot connect with friends on consoles or mobile devices. However, third-party tools like GeyserMC allow Java servers to accept Bedrock players, effectively enabling cross-platform functionality.

Minecraft Education Edition

Minecraft Education Edition is a distinct version of the game, separate from both Java and Bedrock Editions. As a result, it does not support cross-play with either of them.

However, within the Education Edition ecosystem, multiplayer functionality is available across Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS, and mobile devices, provided that all players belong to the same organization and account system.

For additional details, we recommend checking the official Minecraft Education Edition documentation.

Legacy Console Editions

Minecraft Hello Kitty and Friends DLC

Older console versions of Minecraft, including Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition and Minecraft PS3 Edition, do not support cross-platform play. These versions have been officially discontinued, meaning no further updates or new features will be introduced.

Conclusion

In summary, Minecraft Bedrock Edition is the primary version for cross-platform gameplay, while Minecraft Java Edition requires modifications to enable cross-play. Minecraft Education Edition allows multiplayer only within its own ecosystem, and legacy console editions do not support cross-platform play at all.

When playing with friends across different devices, ensuring that everyone is on a compatible version is key to a smooth multiplayer experience!
