This Minecraft tutorial explains all about the game controls that you use when you play Minecraft on different platforms.
Minecraft is available to play on almost every platform. The most common versions are:
Remote Play for Minecraft Windows 10 Edition. Now that Minecraft Windows 10 Edition has released RTX functionality in the main version of the game, I would like to be able to use Remote Play so I can use my RTX capable computer to play the game with RTX on, but be able to play it on other devices in my house (specifically a Home Theater PC I've got in my living room). I don't know about Remote Play, but there is a PS Vita version of Minecraft. – Nolonar Dec 22 '13 at 21:26 According to Mojang's blog, information about Remote Play will arrive around New Years. To play with someone on your network first, choose a host computer. This computer should be fast enough to play Minecraft, while running a server for other players as well. You then launch the game and click 'Single Player' and create a new world or open an existing one.

© Provided by Windows CentralMinecraft now spans millions of devices, unified via cross-platform multiplayer attributed to its shared 'Bedrock' engine. The unification breaks long-established barriers between platforms, including home console rivals, the Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Here's how to get started with cross-play for Minecraft today.
- Living room adventures: Minecraft Master Collection - Xbox One ($43 at Amazon)
- On-the-go wonder: Minecraft - Nintendo Switch ($29 at Amazon)
Setting up Minecraft cross-play for Xbox One
© Provided by Windows CentralPreparing cross-play on Xbox One is straightforward, thanks to relaxed content restrictions compared to other platforms. And with direct Xbox Live integration on the console, you'll be ready to go after installing the game. Xbox One users should ensure 'Minecraft' is used, rather than the incompatible 'Minecraft: Xbox One Edition.'
- Open the Microsoft Store on Xbox One.
- Select the Search title.
- Type Minecraft.
- Select Minecraft from the available titles.
- Download Minecraft for Xbox One. This will be a free download for existing Minecraft: Xbox One Edition owners or priced at $43.

After completing the above steps, your Xbox One is primed for Minecraft cross-play with other systems.
Setting up Minecraft cross-play for Nintendo Switch
© Provided by Windows CentralCross-play on Nintendo Switch brings a few additional hurdles to overcome, due to limitations of the console. Without native Xbox Live integration, you'll need to sign into a Microsoft account. Furthermore, the lack of an integrated browser means you'll need help from a mobile or PC. Like the Xbox version, Nintendo Switch users should ensure 'Minecraft' is installed, rather than the incompatible 'Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition.'
- Open the Nintendo eShop.
- Navigate to the Search tab.
- Search for Minecraft.
- Select Minecraft from the available titles.
Download Minecraft for Nintendo Switch. This will be a free download for existing Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition owners or priced at $29.

Navigate to https://aka.ms/remoteconnect on your PC or mobile.
© Provided by Windows Central- Enter the unique code displayed on-screen.
- Sign into your Microsoft account. A confirmation screen will be displayed. Your Xbox Live profile will appear on your Nintendo Switch shortly after.
- Select Let's Play to complete the process.
Minecraft is now linked to Xbox Live and ready for cross-play with other systems.
How to create Minecraft cross-play games
© Provided by Windows CentralThe process of creating cross-play sessions is the same as any other Minecraft multiplayer game – set up your world, and you're ready to go. For those with an existing Minecraft Realm from other platforms, these steps can be ignored.
- Select Play from the main menu.
- Choose Create New under the Worlds tab.
- Select Create New World to start a fresh game.
- Navigate to the Multiplayer subsection.
- Check to see if multiplayer is enabled.

- Select Play from the main menu.
- Press RB to access to Friends tab on Xbox One. Press R to access to Friends tab on Nintendo Switch.
