I noticed this today when I installed windows to use some overclocking tools that have no linux equivalent. I was running minecraft for windows in the background to warm up the air in the pc. Does anyone know what the third minecraft entry is?

    Probably actual Bedrock. Idk what Minecraft For Windows is. I do know that the image for your mystery Minecraft is the same boxart thats on bedrock in the launcher.

      minecraft for windows is bedrock. seemingly every non java edition available from windows app store is the same bedrock when launched and I was just wondering what this mystery third instance is. all 3 in my m$ account are presumably bedrock. maybe xbox but I don’t recall ever playing minecraft on console

        I dont think java has achievements like that. Its the version I play. So I just ruled that out. I haven’t seen it in another launcher.

            Ah so Microsoft has some sort of aggregate view between console and PC games your account owns then. I’ve never used gamepass, and haven’t had an Xbox for over a decade so I guess I should just stfu
