Minecraft – transfer Minecraft from a computer to iOS

minecraft-bedrock-editionminecraft-java-edition

My son has been playing Minecraft on our home computer for a couple of years now. He just got an iPad Mini 2 for his birthday. Is it possible to transfer his game and his saves onto his iPad Mini 2?

Best Answer

I'm afraid this is not possible. Minecraft for the PC and Minecraft: Pocket Edition (for tablets and phones) are two seperate games. In order to enable your son to play on the iPad, you will need to purchase Minecraft PE from the app store, and he will not be able to play in the same world he has on the PC.

Really depends on your use case.

You only need one copy of the actual game installed if they are taking turns playing.

If you want them to play multiplayer, you will need to purchase two accounts, one for each kid. This also allows them to easily have their own name and "skin" in game.

However, if they just want their own names, you can create two shortcuts to the game, one for each kid. Then just give a different name for each shortcut. See this question on creating the shortcuts.

Yes, according to the MinecraftWiki.net:

"The multiplayer mode is cross-platform compatible between Android and iOS."

Most people have said it works fine but I have heard of a few rare situations where one could not successfully use an Android to connect to iOS. Perhaps it was due to some user error or something else, it's hard to say. Hope this helped.
