> It’s the Java version of the game, not a game version of Java.

This would be termed "Java Minecraft", not "Minecraft Java"

No, the game's Java version's official title post-Microsoft acquisition of Mojang is Minecraft: Java Edition.

    They have renamed both product lines, Bedrock edition many times.

      Specifically:

        Minecraft Pocket Edition for Xperia Play
  -> Minecraft: Pocket Edition
  -> [Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, Minecraft: Gear VR Edition,
      Minecraft: Apple TV Edition, Minecraft: Fire TV Edition,
      Minecraft: Pocket Edition]
  -> Minecraft
  (It is colloquially "Minecraft: Bedrock Edition" when Mojang is
   distinguishing it from other versions. Note also that despite all
   being named "Minecraft", different platforms are separate
   licenses, but the Windows 10/11 license is bundled with Java Edition)

  RubyDung
  -> Cave Game
  -> Minecraft: Order of the Stone
  -> Minecraft
  -> Minecraft: Java Edition

  Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
  -> [Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, Minecraft: PlayStation 3 Edition,
      Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition, Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition,
      Minecraft: Wii U Edition, Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition]
  (This was the 4J Studios version, now deprecated as some platforms
   are unsupported and on some platforms it is superseded by Bedrock.
   It is sometimes referred to as "Console Edition" but this was
   never official.)
