Which Minecraft Should I Buy - Edition Choice

Apart from these 3 most common Minecraft editions, there are more!

But believe me, not all are as great as these are. As a matter of fact, I recommend the Java edition.

But still, it all comes down to how you want to play it and where you want to play it.

Keep a check on your device and gaming needs before buying any Minecraft version. If you do that, you will be able to grab something useful that would work long-term.

Otherwise, dissatisfaction will make you download a pirated version, and can lead to a hell of a lot of issues.
