Java Edition is an edition of Minecraft for Mac, Windows 7, 8 ir 10 or Linux. It is also the first edition that was ever made and was originally just called "Minecraft" or Minecraft PC.

Originally called "Cave Game" by Notch, he started to develop it from inspiration from Dwarf Fortress and Infimmer. He left Mojang Studios in 2014 when the company was bought by Microsoft, leaving Jens, usually called Jeb, behind the development.

This edition of Minecraft was officially released in 2011 and has this name because it is programmed in java, which provides a deep customization of the game and allows the creation of content created by users, such as mods, data packs, resource packs, many plugins and custom skins. Whether in terms of gameplay or customization on dedicated servers, the java edition is more robust and polished since it was introduced, and therefore was the best received by international critics.

For now, Mojang Studios aims to improve the game experience with one to two themed updates for year. For exemple, the Update Aquatic from 2018 brought more life to the oceanic biomes, with new mobs and structures. An update launched in 2015 in particular, the Combat Update, changed the core of combat as well as certains physics. Due to how players were nerfed and the inconsistence with others Minecraft's editions, that was the most controversial update.
