Xbox One Edition

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition was the Xbox One version of Minecraft Console Edition developed by 4J Studios before the Better Together Update. An announcement trailer was shown during Microsoft's press conference at E3 2013. This version built off the Xbox 360 Edition. On May 22, 2014, Mojang confirmed that the game would be released in August 2014. On August 29, 4J Studios tweeted that the game had been handed over to Xbox for final testing. Minecraft Xbox One Edition was officially released on September 5, 2014.

The Xbox One Edition was discontinued when the Better Together Update was released on September 20, 2017. It is no longer updated or available for digital purchase on the Xbox Games Store, but DLC is still available. You can still, however, buy a retail version of the game. In fact, Microsoft still sells the retail version right now. The Bedrock Edition is a free download for all digital owners of the Xbox One Edition. Owners of the disc version who bought DLC from the digital store, or played at least five hours between September 20, 2016 and January 30, 2018, also received it for free. The Xbox One Edition is a separate game from the Bedrock Edition and is still playable for anyone who owns it. DLC for the Xbox One Edition can still be purchased, and most of it will carry over to the Bedrock Edition. When selecting a world in the Bedrock Edition, any world from the Xbox One Edition can be imported.

Compared to the Xbox 360 Edition, the Xbox One Edition included larger world sizes up to 5120x5120 blocks (36 times larger), 18 chunk render distance, Amplified worlds, and enhancements offered by the Xbox One. It was not as optimized as the Bedrock Edition, which includes infinite worlds, 22 chunk render distance, and additional enhancements on the Xbox One X. Although the Bedrock Edition has many more features, the Xbox One Edition still has several Console Edition exclusive features such as built-in Mini Games, and some of its DLC does not exist for Bedrock Edition because of licensing restrictions.

For Xbox 360 Edition players who wish to transfer worlds, it is preferable to buy the disc version of Xbox One Edition instead of buying the new Bedrock Edition, and do so before January 30, 2018. With no current method of transferring worlds directly from the Xbox 360 Edition to the Bedrock Edition for Xbox One, the only way is to import the Xbox 360 world in Xbox One Edition and then import the Xbox One world in the Bedrock Edition after getting it from playing the Xbox One Edition for five hours. It is unknown what will happen to the transfer functionality after the Xbox 360 Edition is updated with new content that does not exist in the Xbox One Edition.

Mass Effect Mash-Up Pack, Doctor Who Skins Volumes I and II, and Skin Packs 1-6 are also currently not included in the Bedrock Edition, but Mojang stated in the Bedrock 1.2 patch notes that they are working on getting the license to add them.

If the Minecon 2015 Skin Pack was purchased during the limited time it was available, it transfers to the Bedrock Edition and is usable in multiplayer. The Simpsons Skin Pack, as well as the Marvel skin packs, also transfer, but are not usable in multiplayer.
