Recently it became known that the developers plan to create a new name for all versions of
Minecraft PE except Java Edition. Now on any device the game will be called
Minecraft Bedrock Edition or
Minecraft BE or
MCBE.
Too much confusion - say the engineers of Mojang and Microsoft. By the end of this month they'll try to patent that name in all game platforms such as Apple Store, Google Play and Microsoft Store.
Besides all this, the game will have a unified API that allows you to run the game on absolutely any device.
Release date Minecraft Bedrock Edition
This update was supposed to come out a year ago, when appeared the Addons, but something went wrong and the release date moved to unknown date. Expect a new version of Minecraft BE should in
September 2017, when will the 1.2 version.
Mods, Maps, Textures & Addons
As we predicted, the developers completely reworked the standard platform game and now it is fundamentally different from what we saw just 4 months ago.
The main advantage is that now you can install all the Addons, maps and mods on any device, even on the Xbox One.
The New Structure
The structure of the Minecraft Bedrock Edition will include the next version of the game:
All these versions will be called the same - that is Minecraft BE and to have the same structure.
