While each version of Minecraft is generally the same across platforms (Computer, Consoles, Pocket Edition, Pi Edition, and Windows 10 Edition), some are more limited than others. Let’s break down the positives and potential negatives (depending on who you are and what you’re using this game for) of each version.

Of the various platforms that Minecraft is available on, the computer version of the game is by far the most updated and user-friendly. The various updates for Minecraft are rolled out to the computer version of the game much earlier than they appear on the other available platforms. Because the updates for Minecraft are rolled out to the computer version of the game first, people tend to create fancy projects upon release. Some of these projects include (and are not limited to) Resource Packs, Custom Maps, Redstone Devices, and many more.

There are other notable aspects of the PC version of Minecraft that make it more suitable to play than on other platforms. There are fewer restrictions in terms of items, world size, servers, commands, modifications, user-created resource packs, controls and many more settings to make your gameplay smoother and feel much more natural.

If gaming on the go is more your thing, then Minecraft: Pocket Edition might just be what you’re looking for. Minecraft: Pocket Edition has been released on a wide variety of platforms. These platforms include Android, iOS, Fire OS, Windows Phone 8.1, and Windows 10. One major benefit in terms of this particular version of the game is the price. At $6.99, Minecraft: Pocket Edition has a beautiful sound to it. It’s the most affordable version of the game in terms of platforms and is excellent for instant gaming.
