Can you get Minecraft pocket edition on a computer?

Answer 1

YES... well sort of.

In a way... you can

There is a program called Bluestacks App Player.
Playing minecraft on it is a bit dodgy though as it is an android emulator not a MineCraft PE conversion for PC use. MineCraft PE doesn't support physical keyboard yet, so all is on screen controls.

As you usually control minecraft on a phone with 2 hands (1 for movement controls and 1 for viewing around) on a computer you will have only 1. Your mouse. You can't rotate your view and move around at the same time, but technically you are running minecraft PE on a computer.

It is possible to play, but don't expect as good of an experience as on regular MineCraft nor MineCraft PE.

With some tweaks you are even able to create a lan session



Someone could try it on touch screen computers using windows 8. It may be a full MineCraft PE experience possibly. I don't have a touch computer though.

Available both on MAC and PC

Answer 2

No you can only get maps from websites like planet minecraft or something else or if you are Talking about uploading the map from the pocket addition to your minecraft on the pc again no. Because if you have 1.2.5 it is a newer version of minecraft because notch made it on the app that it got better as the updates went on and on like how minecraft went from 1.6 to 1.7 and the minecraft on the app store now is on like 0.3.0. And there is no folder for apps like there is with a pc and mac
