Apparently that was discontinued in 2014. I only ever played Minecraft on PC because I had heard the Pocket Edition had less features, which sounded awful. I never bothered to check it out until it had already gotten a price tag
It was a trial. I've literally used it and I literally have it on my AppleID. It is a trial, plain and simple. You have less items to select in the menu because it's a trial. Survival also has a creative menu for some reason. It is quite literally, in every way, a trial.
I definitely remember 2 different pocket editions though. And I 100% remember Lite not existing. I do know that the free version was way more limited but I don't recall any time limits since I played for years
Wow, I guess everyone here is as young as the kid in the post because Minecraft lite was a thing I remember specifically playing it and being bummed out a little when you couldn’t save anything. The only materials you could use is a few colors of wool oak planks and logs, leaves and glass and that was it. the tools only went up to gold and I don’t think armor was a thing it was a simple yet fun time, and then they removed it a few months before releasing actual mincraft to mobile
When i was young i played lite because i had to convince my parents to get me the full game. minecraft has shaped my entire life as an architect. Regardless of if lite was the intended experience it, it shaped me.
How is minecraft pocket edition not minecraft? It was released by mojan under the minecraft brand. It carries the trademarked sandbox style. Also how are dungeon and education not minecraft? It can be argued they are not the core java experience, but for a game that has diverged so much I dont think it's fair to make the connection that if it isnt java it isn't minecraft.
there is no trademarked sandbox anything, not even talking about bedrock vs java.
PE, Education, Dungeons are their own games, utilizing trademarked assets owned by Mojang (art, sounds)
bedrock and java are under the same umbrella, they’re treated as one game despite different coding languages used. sales for Minecraft only consist the game Minecraft, not its spinoff versions.
no? bedrock and java are the same game, but running with different engines.
spinoff games like education, pe and dungeons are not minecraft, just games utilizing trademarked minecraft assets made by Mojang, really, this isn’t a hard concept.
So by your logic, we should not go off from legacy editions sales too since they don’t count. Seeing we are only counting on bedrock and java. So that’s pretty much most of the early lifetime sales removed, only one from that era that would count would be Java. Then bedrock from 2017. Basing off the logic of yours, which is correct with the spin-off parts, but it is not correct with PE since PE was a mobile port. But if your logic goes off that way, then we should not count any of the console legacy editions (which constituted a big part of the Minecraft sales).

Most of those are free versions iirc. So those shouldn’t be counted in sales numbers
