# Introduction to Minecraft

## What is Minecraft?

Minecraft (now known as Minecraft: Java Edition) is a Java game with cross platform support, unlike Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (now known as simply Minecraft). Minecraft mentions of this book will simply refer to it as Minecraft, but means Minecraft: Java Edition.

Since Minecraft is a Java game, it needs a JDK (Java Development Kit) to run. Beyond that, it also needs a proper launcher. The launcher in this section is PrismLauncher-10.0.2.
