Bedrock codebase
The term "Boulder Edition" comes from the Bedrock codebase, which was created in the C++ programming linguistic communication to run on platforms that cannot support Java. Lawmaking was added to accommodate differences in the target platforms for such facilities every bit networking and storage access, though around xc% of the code is used on every platform.[ commendation needed ] This common cadre of functionality is called the "Bedrock engine", but the engine itself has no contained physical existence.[ citation needed ]
The codebase resides within a software system that manages the pieces of code and tracks their evolution. This allows the codebase to host not only the current version merely all past versions, the standalone Bedrock Dedicated Server (BDS) versions, and several Beta versions simultaneously with no conflicts.
Target platform builds are created individually, then transmitted to the platform's app store. Almost stores take their own compliance requirements and subject the incoming edition to a series of certification tests before making it available for download. Xbox Game Studios attempts to synchronize availability beyond stores, but the certification process is not under their command and tin can delay an edition'due south availability on a certain platform, especially if it fails certification and has to go dorsum to the developers for a set up.
Bedrock code is used for Didactics Edition and China Edition, likewise as the discontinued Pi Edition, New Nintendo 3DS Edition, and Minecraft World.
Nomenclature
The proper name "Bedrock Edition" is non the official proper noun of any edition of the game. Starting with the Better Together Update, all Bedrock editions of Minecraft have been named simply Minecraft . Before then, they each had a subtitle identifying the target platform, including Pocket Edition (for all mobile platforms), Windows 10 Edition, Gear VR Edition, and Fire TV Edition. The earliest of these was Pocket Edition, also known as "MCPE" or "PE", and these names were (and still are) sometimes used to refer to all the Bedrock editions, perhaps even including those that were introduced after the renaming occurred.
The renaming of the Bedrock editions to Minecraft with no "Edition" subtitles created confusion in the community for several reasons:
- This proper name had until and so referred to the version at present known as Java Edition, which is not Boulder Edition. The Java version was renamed to Minecraft: Java Edition at the same time the Bedrock editions were renamed to Minecraft, so for a while whatsoever utilise of the name was hopelessly ambiguous.
- Although officially named but Minecraft, the Bedrock editions for consoles are marketed as Minecraft for Xbox, Minecraft for Nintendo Switch, and Minecraft for PlayStation 4.[29] [xxx] [31] These names are like to the Legacy Panel Editions on the aforementioned platforms, styled as Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition, and Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition, leaving many confused well-nigh the differences between the ii versions.
- The term "Minecraft" was (and still is) also commonly used to refer to the game in general.
Together, these complications made the official name Minecraft useless for referring to the Bedrock editions collectively. The editors of this wiki, still, needed such a term in order to describe the functioning of the Boulder engine across all editions, and so despite there not being a existent Boulder Edition, the wiki chose to use this as a term of art. Later, the community adopted information technology every bit well and it is at present the de facto standard term for referring to all the Boulder editions collectively.
