On June 4, 2022, Minecraft has posted a notice on its official website announcing that as of June 7, Windows players will get both versions of the game when they buy Minecraft .
In other words, if you buy Java Edition, you also get Bedrock Edition, and vice versa.

NOTE: this will only be available to people who own a Windows computer . If you have Mac, Linux, or any other operating system, and want to play both versions, you will have to purchase them separately.

This new package of the two editions will be the new standard: from day 7, on Windows, you will never be able to buy each version separately.

However, all this will not cause a union of the two versions., it will only cause the reduction of 27 USD (compared to buy the 2 separate versions). If you want to play with friends in a specific version, you will have to use that same version.

Mojang has also said that, if you already have a version of the game, you will receive the other completely free, although it will take 2-3 days to appear as purchased at the Launcher.

”To be clear, Java and Bedrock will remain separate games with their own distinctive features. The only difference is that now you get both by default when you buy Minecraft for your Windows PC, and you access both from the same launcher.”

Cristina Anderca from Mojang

From day 7, this offer will be active and, interestingly we will also have the 1.19 update: The Wild Update. Now you just need to wait to merge, someday, Java and Bedrock.
