Quote fromI recently downloaded the MC server program from. I have no issues forwarding my IP address and starting the server. On another computer I ran MC PC/Java version and successfully connected to the server via my public IP. But then I tried MC Win 10 version.I had no luck connecting.Are the two versions simply not compatible with the same servers? If so, why would they fragment their player base?And why is it so hard to find any information about this?Yes, they are two different game versions that cannot connect to each other.The Windows 10 Edition is an adaptation of the Pocket Edition, not the Java version you might be familiar with. You are only able to play with others that have the Windows 10 Edition or the Pocket Edition on a mobile device.
You can connect if on the same network or through a purchased Realms subscription.Wiki info on the game versions:It is not a fragmentation of the player base, rather an extension of the mobile player base. The Java and Windows 10 Edition vary very much and are not compatible with each other. However, the Pocket Edition and Windows 10 Edition are near identical clones and allow for cross platform game play (mobile and computer).
I’ll start with a quick overview of what I looked for in a server before sharing my picks for the 10 best Minecraft servers for kids. Take the Leap. Allowing your child to join an online Minecraft server may feel scary. You might worry about their exposure to bad language, bad behavior, griefing, and unfamiliar players.
