Windows 10 Edition Beta = Pocket Edition
That means: the Windows 10 Edition Beta is the same as the Pocket Edition, so no extra page is needed. The content of this page should be moved to Pocket Edition. | violine1101(Talk) 14:43, 4 July 2015 (UTC)


 * I would move it to the planned versions page until it is released, next to the HoloLens version which is the same case. – KnightMiner  t/c 15:06, 4 July 2015 (UTC)


 * on both. While it may appear the same as PE, there are still some features mentioned that PE does not currently have, such as Xbox Live, controller support, player feedback, and the ability to record gameplay. BDJP (t 15:32, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

 * I'm waiting for Jeb to comment regarding this confusion. If Jeb says that it is indeed PE, then I'll change my mind. BDJP (t 21:14, 4 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Tommaso is a Pocket Edition developer as well. I think it is safe to take his word for this. – Illidicia ( t + c ) 21:18, 4 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Although the Pocket Edition is nearly equivalent to the Windows 10 edition, it will be running on devices like the HoloLenses and the capabilities of that alone should not in my opinion should not be mixed with the Pocket Edition. If anything, I think this page should be moved over to Windows 10 Edition instead of focusing on the beta. ExtremeHeat11 (talk) 21:31, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

A Device Support Page for Windows 10 Edition
Ok, you know how there is a support page for Android (Minecraft PE) and iOS (Minecraft PE) so if someone has a computer on the list, they can see if their computer is right for it. AwlsomeAlex (talk) 21:09, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Windows 10 Beta Files and Saves
I finally found the save locations for Minecraft for WX Beta. Let's find out if it varies from user to user! Related Directories > C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe

LocalState folder is where custom minecraft skins go (loose files, not inside any other folder)

Save folders seem to have a garbeldygook code name which is random and not linked to the name of the world exclusively. They are located in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds

A fresh world only contained the db folder, level.dat and levelname.txt files Editing the levelname.txt does not change the name of the world and renaming the world from the beta launcher has a 16 character limit and does change the text in the levelname.txt. Editing and saving the world without changing it also does not change the text in the levelname.txt regardless of its contents if the name is identical to the previous entry via the launcher. Managed to get a level.dat_old file to appear in a second fresh world (before the level.dat had even been generated somehow) possibly due to my name changing all over the place.

Seeds appear to be vastly different in this new version of Minecraft as opposed to the original desktop version and as such replacing the level.dat is no longer compatible so goodbye weeks of work and searching for that perfect seed.

F3 no longer brings up debugging overlay and / no longer opens the chat box.

I feel no need to explore further. I'll keep playing my old, original, time invested Minecraft for as long as possible. Sulhir (talk) 05:54, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
