What does it mean by bedrock edition? it is for the nintendo switch. buying this for my 6yo son and cannot buy the wrong one! is this the full game?

Similarities and Differences (Java and Bedrock) Similarities Differences Both have most new 1.13/1.14 features. Bedrock has less lag than Java. Both available on Windows. Bedrock does not have new combat features, (no sword blocking, no attack cool-down, can only hold specific items in off-hand (maps, arrows, totems of undying)). Can have resource packs. Bedrock can connect to other devices with Xbox live, this includes PE, Win 10, Xbox, Switch, PS4, etc. Both are official Minecraft games. Bedrock has easier access to cheats (are switches in the menu) and has the Education Edition pre-installed. Both can access servers and multiplayer/LAN. On Java (and to a lesser extent, the mobile and Windows 10 versions of Bedrock), resource packs are (mostly) free and can be downloaded from unofficial, community-run websites. But on the console editions of Bedrock, you can only get them from the in-game store, and thus, they cost Minecraft coins. Both can download worlds (copy). Java can have mods whereas Bedrock cannot. However, bedrock can have add-ons, unlike Java. Both (on the world menu) use world BARS with the name, version, and a picture, however, Bedrock updates the picture whereas Java does not. Bedrock has the paper doll in the top left corner of the screen, like the Console editions. It can also have coordinates under the doll if a player turns it on in the world options. Players are unable to take an in-game screenshot in Bedrock. Although players can do the shortcut (Windows key+PrtScr) to take a full screenshot or can use the snipping tool. Both have some of the same game modes. The only difference in that is that modes like hardcore and spectator are not available on Bedrock. The commands have some common functions. In Java, the command format is different, for example, players can locate an igloo respectively on Java. In Bedrock, players can't locate igloos, and it still has no command flattening, yet. Players can access versions before everyone else gets it The beta versions on Bedrock are only on Windows 10, Xbox One and Android

How do you play 2 player on minecraft? Had real problems!!

You have to sign in with your Microsoft account and the other player has to sign in with there's but you have to be friends on your Microsoft account.

Will this be handheld compatible for the Switch Lite?

There’s no reason why it shouldn’t be! As far as I’m aware, all Switch games that support handheld mode will be compatible with the switch lite—Minecraft is one such game.

You can buy them with the in game currency in the market place if you sign into a Microsoft account for free

Endless Creativity On-The-Go – A Must-Have for Switch Owners, With Minor Hiccups

Minecraft for Nintendo Switch is a portable powerhouse that brings the beloved block-building adventure to your fingertips. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a newcomer, this version delivers the classic sandbox experience with added Nintendo flair. After months of play, here’s my breakdown: **PROS:** ✅ **Portable Perfection:** Play in handheld, tabletop, or TV mode—perfect for on-the-go creativity or cozy couch sessions. The Switch’s versatility complements Minecraft’s endless possibilities. ✅ **Super Mario Mash-Up Pack:** A delightful bonus! Explore Mushroom Kingdom-themed worlds, dress as Mario characters, and build with iconic blocks. A nostalgic treat for Nintendo fans. ✅ **Multiplayer Magic:** Team up with up to 8 players online* or 4 locally via split-screen. Family game nights just got blockier! (Pro Controller support is a smooth addition.) ✅ **Dual Modes for All:** Unleash imagination in **Creative Mode** (unlimited resources) or test survival skills in **Survival Mode** (crafting, farming, battling mobs). Appeals to all playstyles. ✅ **Cross-Platform Saves:** Sync progress with other consoles (via Microsoft account)—great for players who own multiple versions. **CONS:** ❌ **Performance Quirks:** Occasional frame rate drops in dense worlds or split-screen. Not game-breaking, but noticeable compared to PC/console versions. ❌ **Small-Screen Split-Screen:** Local multiplayer on handheld mode feels cramped. Best reserved for TV play. ❌ **Online Subscription Required:** Nintendo Switch Online is needed for multiplayer—a hidden cost for some families. ❌ **Steep Learning Curve:** New players might feel overwhelmed without tutorials. YouTube guides become essential. **Final Thoughts:** This Switch edition is a must-buy for Minecraft enthusiasts and Nintendo lovers alike. The Mario content, portability, and multiplayer fun make it a standout, though performance hiccaps and the online paywall hold it back from perfection. Still, it’s a gateway to countless hours of building, exploring, and surviving. **Recommend For:** Families, Nintendo fans, and creative minds craving portable play. Not ideal for graphics purists or those avoiding subscription fees. A 4-star gem in the Switch library! *Note: A Nintendo Switch Online membership is required for online multiplayer (sold separately).
