The Bedrock Edition version is usually updated to the next stable version with significant changes, with an average annual update of the main version number and the secondary version number. During September and November, there are two main updates: anniversary celebration and gratitude season. In April, there is a fixed secondary update without a specific theme, and a weekly hot update. The main update requires downloading a new version launcher. The release time of the Android official server is may be earlier than the Android channel server and iOS/iPadOS/macOS platforms on the same day. The update is usually on the first or fourth Friday of the month. Within 2 weeks prior to the update, the Android official server invites players to download the development version of the mobile game to test the stability of the new version. The development version of the mobile game can play multiplayer games with players who are also using the development version, but can use the new version of the game content, features, and components in advance, and can receive trial rewards within the game.

Clearing the cache on the main interface removes all accumulated hot update resource packages and cache files. After restarting, it automatically updates to the latest version.

  • Y is the minor version number, which increases by 1 for each major update and returns to zero after the major version number is updated.
  • Z is the minor version number, which is displayed as a hot updated resource version on the game side, and returns to zero after the minor version number is updated. The minor version number for the development version of the mobile game is fixed at 100.
  • ABCDEF is the development ordinal number, and the larger the number, the newer the version. The iOS/iPadOS/macOS platform is usually equal to or 1-2 different from the Android platform. The development version uses this value to refer to the relationship between the relative game side.

Minecraft: China Edition Windows app icon

The "Desktop Edition" is a Chinese Edition running on the PC platform, providing specific editions of Java Edition and Bedrock Edition games.

Platform[edit | edit source]

Windows launcher GUI.

The Desktop Edition can mainly run on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11 platforms, and the launcher comes with the required Java environment (64 bit JRE8 and JDK17). Similar to the official launcher of the international version, the Windows version cannot be installed or run on the Windows platform of ARM64. Some versions may experience exceptions on earlier versions of Windows, and the "ray tracing version" runs normally only on supported devices on Windows 10 and Windows 11 platforms.

Main system requirements:

PC
Operating system Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11
Graphics card GeForce GT240 or ATI Radeon HD 5550 or above
Central Processing Unit Main frequency 1.4GHz and above
Memory 4GB and above
Storage 4GB and above
Network connection Need to

Game content[edit | edit source]

The "Start Game" in the bottom left corner of the launcher is the starting point for the game. Players can play various games based on Java and Bedrock versions in the Windows version. The Java version used in the Chinese version has a small amount of text that is slightly different from Standardization of Translations. The content of the base bedrock version is basically the same as that of the mobile game, and it can be used for interactive gaming.

The "Start Game" section prioritizes displaying players' recent games, and new game content can also be searched and downloaded by category. The launcher skips the main menu and directly enter the game.

Single player game[edit | edit source]

The single player game section allows players to manage all local game saves across versions. By selecting save, players can view detailed information including version, game duration, installed components, and more. Single player game saves can be exported, and when creating a world, saves can be imported and a world with the same version can be created. When starting the Java version save, multiple components developed by NetEase are forced to be built-in. At the same time, you can choose to open the "Command Suspension Window" built-in component. After opening, a button is displayed in the upper left corner of the game, and you can use commonly used commands with just one click.

Players can choose the following game versions when creating a world:

  • Bedrock Edition: original version of Bedrock version synchronized with mobile games, based on Bedrock Edition 1.20.50 "ray tracing version".

Java Edition has a built-in module loader "Forge". After an update, some uncommon Java Edition versions were removed from the world creation page. This change does not affect existing saves. In the launcher, the names of Java Edition 1.15.2 and above omit the minor version number, such as 1.16.4 will be displayed as 1.16.

Single player game saves can be uploaded to the cloud for cross device gaming, and players have 5 save slots and 1GB of storage space; Members have an additional 2 archive slots and 2GB of storage space. The archive slots of members are locked after the membership expires and cannot be uploaded or downloaded.

Multiplayer games[edit | edit source]

Network Game

Online games are officially certified Java customized servers in the Chinese version of games, with Apollo as the core. The server host is located in NetEase's data center. The game content is provided and maintained by developers, who can list products in the server's online store. These products must be purchased using the launcher currency "Diamond". Players can choose not to display the in-game mall. The Java version of online games has the same range as single player games.

For the first time entering the server, you need to download a client other than the game version. For a single online game, players can create up to 3 character profiles, and any ban imposed due to game account violations also takes effect on all character profiles.

Online Lobby

The online lobby of the Windows version is the same as that of the mobile version, both of which are real-time bedrock version gameplay servers. The online lobby of the Windows version is not compatible with the mobile version.

Local Online

Local online allows players to create any single player game version of the game room, including Java, Rock, and Light Chase versions. With the homeowner's device as the host, any version of the room can be configured with components. When members enter, they download them on the startup interface, and the game can be played directly after it starts.

Rental Server Games

Rental server is a Java version of server hosting service, which has two types: pure rental service and custom rental service. Pure rental server is a fully original game server, with customizable components, plugins, and other additional content to provide higher server performance. The custom rental service channel is currently under maintenance and cannot be created.

  • Pure rental clothing specifications
  • 10 people: 1800 diamonds per month
  • 20 people: 3600 diamonds per month
  • 40 people: 5000 diamonds per month

The server owner has operator privileges and can also backup archives to restore previously saved archives at any time. Unlike the mobile version, the PC game rental service allows for downloading archives locally.

Game Center[edit | edit source]

Game Center GUI

The Game Center is an online game platform within the PC version of the game launcher, which allows you to quickly classify and filter online games and play them.

Component Center[edit | edit source]

Component Center page

The Component Center is a game add-on content distribution platform within the Windows version launcher, similar to Market.

The configurable components of single player games in the Windows version are divided into two categories based on their impact on the game: functional and visual. Visual is further divided into two subcategories: material sic and light and shadow. The above components can be retrieved in the Component Center by version, price, theme, etc. Online games, online gameplay, and more can also be found and purchased in the component center. Slightly different from the international Java version skin, the 128/256 pixel skin component can also be used for Java games.

Component Package[edit | edit source]

A component package is composed of several functional and visual components combined to achieve specific game effects, similar to an integration package. Component packages are mainly provided by the community, and any player can filter, edit, and submit their purchased components. Excellent component packages can be recommended by the community.

Other[edit | edit source]

Social Communities[edit | edit source]

Social community GUI

The Desktop Edition has the main social functions of the mobile version, and the communities of the two versions are interconnected. Fresh news is similar to the community fresh news function of the mobile game version, with dynamic content exchange. The game forum is also linked to the official forum, and players can use NetEase Pass to directly create forum accounts.

Game Forums[edit | edit source]
