Downloaded this on my PC. Not sure how I feel about it yet, don't really play much Minecraft but it seems like a step back as far as options go and somewhat seems like a way to charge you for skins.
Not as far as I can tell. Was hoping it would. I expected this beta to be similar to the Xbone edition.This version offer native split screen?
Controller support?
I bought the Windows 10 version. My daughters Windows Store uses my MS account so she has access to my purchases. Anyone know if she could download Win10 Minecraft and sign in under her Live account or will it be tied to mine?
Does anyone know where this installs to?
Probably installs like other Windows 10 apps so it'll be forced to use your Windows drive. I downloaded Crossy Road through the Windows Store and the executable is here:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Packages\Yodo1Ltd.CrossyRoad_s3s3f300emkze\AC\Microsoft\CLR_v4.0_32\NativeImages\CrossyRoad\4294b51efbc82c5c900d628b9c1dff33
There are minecraft .dat files within AppData, but the minecraft program itself must be somewhere else. I think it might be within the Program Files\WindowsApps folder, which is protected and has no apparent way of taking ownership.
I read everywhere that it's only free for java users while it's beta, so after it's out of beta, I can't play the game anymore or do I keep it?
Oooh, I forgot that I get a free copy. Time to dig through my Hotmail account for that code.

Hold the phone, this is the first I've heard of this. Is there any way to override this? My SSD is small enough as it is, I'd use the W10 store even less if I was forced to install all their games on that drive.
So is this version no longer Java based?

They're planning the option to install apps on another drive (or move existing ones) but it's not finished yet. You can see the options in 'Settings > System > Storage' and' Settings > System > Apps & features' but they're greyed out.
You are running 32 bit windowsThe good: Minecraft win10 runs really smooth on my nephews basic laptop compared to the java version which was sub-30fps most of the time even with low visuals, wind10 version stays around 60 with view distance set to 2 and fullscreen.
The bad: my windows tablet (quad core 1.3ghz) from last year is unsupported, the windows store is telling me I need a device with more features... This is a tablet which can play arkham asylum and a bunch of other steam games.
Rather annoyed at that otherwise the new build is good and much smoother, hope it stays that way as they add in more features.
Cool, thanks.You keep it.
You are running 32 bit windows
Does anyone know which are the minimum specs for this Windows 10 Beta version?
I am making a friend of mine get into Minecraft (I just bought this version, first time with minecraf, but we both are a lot into Terraria). But my friend's Laptop... well is weak as poop
You don't need Java installed for the Java version of Minecraft anymore. They updated the launcher awhile ago to download a portable Java library that is only used for Minecraft.No. Thank fuck.
I can now uninstall java.

*smacks head* I forgot all about that limit in the current version, i'm dumb.
Cool idea. Is that in version 1.8, 1.9 or something earlier?You don't need Java installed for the Java version of Minecraft anymore. They updated the launcher awhile ago to download a portable Java library that is only used for Minecraft.
I'm enjoying the beta, but it's strange to have Xbox edition achievements with Pocket Edition content. So you can't actually build enchantment tables or make potions etc despite the game indicating this is possible.
Am I the only one who's gamepad didn't work with it? (wireless Xbox 360 controller)
No enchantment tables? Just how old is this version? Why even bother?

how did you connect the controller? I have a wireless 360 dongle for pc but never got it working in windows 10 when I tried a few weeks ago.
She should be able to. Just tested with my brothers laptop. The Store is using my Microsoft Account and Xbox Enabled games sign in on his Microsoft/Xbox Live account.
Just make sure she has her own User Account on the PC that's using her Microsoft Account.
I don't think I've seen one, but if the laptop's capable of running Windows 10 it'll run this version of Minecraft just fine.
Thanks, I will make him try as hard as possible. I need to play some 3D Terraria in co-op.
Is it possible that along with Minecraft (W10), some AAA / big name games might also get locked to the Windows store?
Probably only Microsoft games. KI and Gears will no doubt be exclusive to the store.
I mean theoretically it will have the largest potential exposure, as everyone on Windows has the Store compared to a third-party download like Steam that people need to install (once we see mass adoption of Windows users to Windows 10).I almost want to make a thread to discuss the idea because it just seems like a sure-fire way to make sure a game gets less sales, imo, unless they can initially draw in people wanting to get a first taste of DX12 games.
Still waiting for this update

But so far I like it. Very smooth, very fast load times. It's also very relaxing to play this with a pad 😛 tried to make some stairs, didn't know that you need to make a stonecutter first in this version.
I hope it will be possible to use texture packs. Never was a fan of the low-res textures. 😑
