Minecraft Java Edition and Bedrock Edition do not have that many differences, at least in terms of the gameplay. A bigger contrast between the two games is how user-created content has been handled.

Java Edition is free to mod and customized to the player's desires, whereas Bedrock has a controversial marketplace.

This marketplace is where gamers of the Bedrock Edition can get free things for their Java counterparts, such as mods, texture packs, and much more. This is done by spending Minecoins, the game's premium currency, to gain access to these files and features.

Minecoins exist as a way for players to purchase content from the Bedrock exclusive. The content available to Bedrock users to buy includes, but is not limited to, survival spawns skin packs, adventure maps, texture packs, mods, minigames, worlds, DLC packs, and crossover packs.

Minecoin exclusivity

Minecoins are an exclusive feature for the Bedrock version of the game. They exist to facilitate the purchase of content for Bedrock, such as skins, skin packs, game modes, mods, or DLC content packs.

Users can add Minecoins to their accounts for purchases or be quickly accessed upon the release of a new mod or DLC that interests them instead of going through the potentially long purchase process when wanting to play.


Beware of free coins

Where any service offers an exclusive premium in-game currency, there also comes a wave of those claiming to have ways of getting the currency for free. These methods are almost all assuredly either scams or taking advantage of technical glitches on the marketplace that might result in gamers using them being banned.

For this reason, it is very much recommended that fans avoid using any method or website claiming to give them free Minecoins. They could easily result in losing access to their accounts, either through hacking or by being banned by Microsoft or Mojang.
