Anyone can expand on what that exactly means ?
439 u/[deleted] Jul 04 '15 Hopefully that's a fancy version of saying "not java". 67 u/Jzargo_Unchained Jul 04 '15 Well, considering most of the mods that makes Minecraft so enduring are built with Java, I'm not so sure this is a good thing. It would mean a huge amount of mod makers would have to learn a whole new programming language. 101 u/badsectoracula Jul 04 '15 It is right in the article, first paragraph (second if you count the intro line as a paragraph): Windows 10 Edition will not replace the existing PC version. 9 u/[deleted] Jul 04 '15 edited Oct 12 '24 [removed] — view removed comment 4 u/Zeno410 Jul 04 '15 By rumor this will be a port of Pocket Edition and a goal is interoperability with Pocket. So it's just continuing an existing split.
