Is the Super Duper Graphics Pack part of this update? Been waiting for that one
Great OT! All I ask is that you include a link to the update faq @ minecraft.net and if you could add PS3, X360, and Vita to the unsupported section since those systems have Minecraft as well.

Win10 only. Java is its own separate thing, and has been rebranded Java Edition, with the Better Together (i.e. Bedrock engine based) versions taking up the subtitle-less Minecraft branding.So for PC, does the java version get this too or is it just the windows 10 app version?
How far along has the W10 gotten to since they released it. Is the java version still the definitive version of Minecraft?
If you click on any part of the Features section it'll take you to the FAQ!
I left those systems out because they're last gen and/or no longer supported by their manufacturers.
This OT is for the "Better Together" update... or are you suggesting that the OP put 360, PS3 and Vita on the "not supported" side?
Q: Is the Better Together Update safe for kids?
A: The Better Together Update will enable players to discover new content and creations across all devices, as well as the option to find new and like-minded players, as with any multiplayer game. Helping keep kids safe online is a priority for Minecraft, and we provide parental controls across platforms via Xbox LIVE which help parents choose the content, communication and sharing settings that are right for their families. For many, the most important of these is making sure that your kids are using child accounts which you have control over.

Its a lot closer now-a-days, but I dont think its 1:1.
It is. Well, was and sorta is.I've been really out of the loop. I assumed the win10 version was still just a rebranded pocket edition. Don't care much for mods so I guess I should take a look at the windows 10 version one day.

The Bedrock Engine/Better Together update was built upon the Pocket Edition. That includes Xbox One and Switch as well, naturally, since all versions updated to the Better Together version are now inherently the same game, which is the founding principle of the update.
What's up with the limited period to update for the disc owners? Do they plan on charging for the update after Jan. 30 2018?
iOS means Mac as well right?
I have the Windows 10 version but don't think I've received the update. Is it supposed to be the beta branch or are they updating the default version?
Check the store for updates, it should be up. Just a normal update. The beta wasn't even released as a separate branch, it was just early access to the patch.
Thanks. It's my first windows game so i thought updates were automatic.
Still confused over the Super Duper graphics pack.
They seem to impy Xbox One is the only console getting it here:

Finally, this Fall, we'll be releasing a free update that allows you to boost Minecraft's graphics. Minecraft will get 4K HDR graphics which include improved lighting, shadows, water effects... basically, it'll be like giving your eyes a luxury massage. This'll be available to folks playing on Xbox One, Windows 10, iOS, mobile, and VR - essentially every platform that gets our Better Together update.
We'll also be releasing new DLC, the Super Duper Graphics Pack. On top of the free 4K update, the Super Duper Graphics Pack introduces features like dynamic shadows, lighting that streams through fog, movement in leaves and grass, new textures for mobs and villagers, directional lighting, edge highlighting and more! This Pack will be available on Xbox One and Windows 10, performing best on high-end PCs and the Xbox One X (formerly known as Project Scorpio).

Is realms is a little later on Xbox? I've got a 8 year old lad coming in from school today VERY excited.
There's two graphical updates coming, one free for most platforms, and the paid SDGP for Xbox/W10 on top of that:

I don't think players even need the disc anymore for Better Together (it's digital only as far as I know?).

Nice, why are they charging for graphics? :/
The same reason they charge for other texture packs. *shrug*
Texture packs I understand somehow, but for adding new graphic options I don't :/
Wonder when EA will follow this and start to charge for "Ultra graphics DLC".

Mojang Support said:How do I get the Windows 10 Edition for free?
Players who have purchased the PC/Java edition of Minecraft can get the Windows 10 Edition for free by visiting their Mojang account. Log into account.mojang.com, and under the Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition heading you will find a button to claim your gift code. Pressing the button will generate a token and send you to a Microsoft redemption page.
I mean, that's basically what this is, and then some though. It's a full new resource pack, and a hefty one at that. They're not really typical graphics options so much as entirely new visuals. The upcoming 4K HDR update, which is free, is the analog to "Ultra Graphics Settings" on other games.
I get where you're coming from, and it is kinda weird for sure though.
The FAQ says:So 1080p users on XB1 aren't going to get the benefits of dynamic lighting, new textures and shaders?
Those are changes which would make me give the game another go. Especially if they came to Switch too.
This Pack will be available on Xbox One and Windows 10, performing best on high-end PCs and the Xbox One X (formerly known as Project Scorpio).
The FAQ says:
Probably too demanding for Switch to run playably if thats the case.
But the Super Duper pack isnt.Minecraft though. It's a decade old.
The Super Duper pack is MS ecosystem exclusive. The features of the 4K HDR update (which includes more than 4K and HDR) are coming to all versions, with the exception of 4K output and HDR where not supported by the platform itself.So the switch won't get either of the packs? I'm confused, I thought it was gonna get the non-4k one. I mean, it's gonna be released on Android lmao
That's coming this fall.
Minecraft though. It's a decade old.
Minecraft is 8 years old.

Tried the windows 10 version the other day. Seeing that texture packs and other stuff was all purchase to unlock was really disheartening.
