This is impossible because the different versions of the game are not compatible. They use different protocols and have different features. Here is a short list of what can play together:.Java edition (original): All 3 major PC platforms: Windows (any), Mac, and Linux. Supports the most customization, mods, and has the most content.: Android, iOS, Amazon Fire Phone, and Windows 10 (on Windows 10 it's called the ' Beta').
Minecraft Games. See Minecraft like never before with our awesome Minecraft games! Here you can play all kinds of quirky versions directly in your browser, absolutely free! These include the original Minecraft (classic), but also many games based on the Minecraft graphics or gameplay.
Less content, less mods, if you have Windows 10 the primary advantage of using this version instead is cross-play with mobile.: Only supports the Raspberry Pi's Raspbian OS for ARM.There are also console versions (PS3/4/Vita, Xbox 360/One, Wii U) which I believe are only playable if you own the same console.Anyway, if you want to play together with your kids you'll need to purchase a PC. Their world is and will only be compatible with the Java version of the game. You can now play Pocket edition with PC edition as of pocket edition version 0.12.1 This has been true as of September 2015, so this feature has been out for almost a full year as of the day I am typing this.
The feature requires players to play on the same network, but allows Pocket Edition players to use the many features of PC edition and do things such as going to the nether. This does not work the other way around however.
Also the host PC player must be online in order for the Pocket Edition player to be able to play on that world. If the host quits (or their computer shuts off, etc.) then the Pocket Edition player(s) will be forced off of the world, unlike servers. Hope this helps out. Speaking of desktop Minecraft, now there are two editions for desktop:.Which mostly everyone knows, the PC version.Windows 10 Minecraft version.If you wanted to link up the PC version, you can't. I will describe the solution below at last.However if you have Windows 10 Minecraft running as server then you can join your MCPE to that specific world.Now, unfortunately if you had PC version, consider switching to Windows 10 edition. There are few world converters available, so try to convert PC world to PE world and play it from windows 10 edition. The problem is: it can't be said that these converters will work with latest versions of minecraft, because Minecraft gets constantly updated.
If this method fails then you will have to start a new world.
