one thing that i'm surprised wasn't mentioned is that you can place practically anything in your offhand in java, while you can only put a few such as shields and maps in bedrock

Was a pleasure helping out with this video! Parity let's goooo!!

I like the fact that you can get fallen trees in bedrock, it makes the forests seem more realistic. Plus you can gather wood without having to take down a tree and having the leaves float for a bit.

You used to be able to use dripstone to farm potions. It was really cool especially for potions that required hard to get ingredients like turtle master

As someone who only knows the differences of placing blocks and big salmon- this is great. Thanks

I'm shaking and crying after knowing the salmon fact literally unplayable

2 things I want in bedrock is banners on shields and items in off hand, they could maybe add a button on pocket edition so they can use the off hand feature.

2:40 in bedrock i think it shows cracks now.

8:17 it isn't just lanterns, you can't place anything on trapdoors on bedrock, while on Java, you can place candles, flowerpots, sea pickles, turtle eggs, and other placable items.

I love that the bell actually rang when hit by the water bottle in java when you said it wouldn't

Bedrock always has felt like the lazier version to me, focusing on cosmetics a lot may be a reason. There are just so many parts of bedrock that feel like work in progress early prototypes. But I am enjoying the fat that I can play with friends for free. (I play on both guys no hate)

I'm really surprised he didn't talked about the scuffed bedrock bridging. You don't even need to be looking at another block to place one. You can just look right in front of the block you're on and it'll place. This let's you sprint jump while bridging.

One big difference that wasn't mentioned and I'd really love to have on bedrock is that on java you can mark locations on your map with a banner, so that if you place the map in an item frame or just hold it you can see where the banner is(and a name if you name tagged the banner). And another one is that on java you can add banners to shields, unfortunately that's not available on bedrock even though minecraft bedrock has a thriving multiplayer community and having banners on shields would be a nice touch to show what clan you're in or what not

This made me sooo sad. I hate seeing all these random differences. It’s honestly painful. Just quality of life in Minecraft if parity was even at 80%…

For number 3 they actually added that in the most recent patch of bedrock edition. You can dye leather armor in a cauldron meaning you can make unique colors! I am so very frustrated that there is no glass connectivity in bedrock so its a pain to look out of.

1:31 Warped and Crimson forests in the background

30:08 As someone who prefers java edition, I can say with full confidence, that Bedrock's boat recipe, while kinda tedious, makes sense, Java uses the old recipe from the days before oars were added to the boat model, now that they are paddle boats rather than magic sea missiles, where do the paddles come from?

I mean it is called bedrock for a reason. That reason is that the beds go on the rock, not floating in the sky.

I've always felt the devs leave some of these parity differences purposely to make each version just a little unique from the other. It is very interesting being a bedrock player and watching Java videos and what they can do I can't, but also what I can do they can't. Awesome video!!!!!

I love how he keeps referring to the cake thing

29:15 that's no weird mistake, back in the old days when books were first invented in the world of Minecraft they had much more flexible spines and could be held in one hand so you can write without a table, now in the modern age with bedrock Steves and their evolved hands with long and strong retractable fingers, they can write with the book wide open like that.

As I’ve said many times before, Bedrock prioritizes the silly stuff while Java prioritizes the functional stuff. Except obviously big salmon. That’s very important.

8:24 Toycat: "Why are you watching a video about differences between two Minecraft versions. You don't even play both the versions." Me: *Glances at taskbar with both versions* "Are you sure about that, Toycat?"

A lot of this stuff like water logging, was recently added to bedrock in the last 6 months

Me who plays both versions: Signature look of superiority

The two parity changes I would love to see on Bedrock are banners on shields and being able to place multiple small blocks in the same block, like a torch and item frame in the same 1x1 space

I hope after the Wild update we get a Parity update that takes the good parts of each platform and basically make them the same game

Here's something interesting: Leafs can be waterlogged on Bedrock

23:06 Toycat going on about bottles not ringing bells in Java Splash Water Bottle: *Mayes a bell sound for no reason while the bell glitches out by sheer coincidence*

When it comes to "logic in minecraft" it's perfectly fine to have some real life logic mixed in with the fantasy block game It's perfectly within reason to do Cause it's a video game

Oh! Yes I’d love a video about bedrocker’s playing Java and Javar’s playing bedrock. I’ve recently began playing Java as well and my friend has recently began playing bedrock. My biggest complaint was movement speed, their biggest complaint was tall grass. Everything is funky going version to version.

As a bedrock player we need slot of these features, its crazy how a key feature or even a small thing for casual players is only on one version of the game

"You don't even play both versions." Me, who constantly plays Java as well as the Xbox One, Pocket, and Switch versions of Bedrock: UPDATE: And Windows 10 now that I have a not-garbage PC.

I like the baby villagers having bigger heads. Java ones look so uncanny. Like, they just look like shrunken villagers.

The reason that quasi-connectivity exists in Java edition is because, for some reason, notch programmed the piston to activate in the same way that the bottom half of an iron door would.

Another odd change that I don't hear a lot of people talking about is how little customization their is with the scoreboard command on bedrock, as on Java, objectives can automatically increase/decrease with certain requirements (Health, Kill Count, Blocks Mined, ect.) while on bedrock only the dummy criteria can be set, which can only be can be changed manually with commands.

One thing I want from Java is the sweep attack and spectral arrows.

Trident killers. They are the bedrock version of quasi connectivity: the glitch so usefull and beloved that they can't get rid of it.

I’ve played both, Java has much better details and looks. But, I wish they’d move a lot of the fun stuff over to Java from bedrock as well.

I feel they should develop both versions to allow you to choose what features you perfer individually. And a setting where bedrock has “Java logic” and vice versa

Hey, the captions got it basically right!

It always irritates me when an update releases, and it has parity differences. I play Java, and Bedrock, and it always irritates me when I learn something on one version, that isn't true for the other.

I've been a Bedrock/PE player since 2014. I'm interested in trying Java but whenever I do I get turned off by the way chunks are rendered in JE. Bedrock rendering feels so much more natural, maybe I'm just used to it.

I’m surprised that he didn’t mention how bedrock has way more blocks of reach compared to Java.And how bedrock has different building mechanics (like how on bedrock you can place a lock in front of you without a block underneath it).

I have a weird Mandela effect respect to the Iron golem heal dis-parity, I remember that I already had seen a Bedrock changelog that spicified the heal and damage thing in a beta (1.14 i think), then was removed for some reason and I was wondering why for a long time

20:12 you could actually make the 2 single chests on bedrock by moving one with a piston (which cannot be done on java, kind of surprised he didn't bring up movable tile entities when that's one of the redstone features Java players want most)

That’s hilarious. I just found prowls channel yesterday and it is nice to know that you guys are friends since I am subscribed to both of you now.

Another difference I have noticed is that farming small flowers in java is harder than in bedrock. In bedrock, regardless of the biome, having a specific type of flower placed on grass and bonemealing it causes flowers of the same type to spawn in nearby blocks. In java however you have to go to the specific biome of the desired flower and bonemeal a grass block and in between the grass that spawns there's a chance the flower you want spawns :>

The fallen trees adds a lot of lore to Minecraft..I love it, but there are so many more parity differences lol

Just with the "ability to stop on a dime with elytra" on bedrock, you are forgetting that while using a mouse you still have more accuracy with the elytra over bedrock even though you cant just click spacebar to cancel flight

In java you can place levers on the back of the piston, and you can place things on the top/bottom/sides but only if it’s hit box does not overlap with the piston arm. This means that redstone will not work, but for a line (as opposed to a dot like the one shown) it looks like it should work but the hit box is a few pixels too big.

awesome to see now that we’ve gotten a ton of these i hope they will eventually do them all

16:18 I like the grumpy old observer.

25:26 That wasn't the case back then... Back in the old days you often would be lucky to get even half of what was blown up on Java!

I play both versions so this was fun to watch. The change in crafting recipe for barrels explains why I always make the wrong recipe when playing Java edition, since I started with Bedrock.

If you swim into a one-block gap in both versions, you crawl. However, in bedrock edition, you maintain the same speed as if you were swimming rather than just going into crawl speed.

The rail direction thing USED to be how java was, so arguably bedrock is the wrong one as it was considered corrected when they were placed in the direction you faced.

"I'm gonna eat some cake to make it all make sense" The past year in a nutshell

I love your videos, they are so informational, Interesting, and cool. Keep up the amazing work

I figured out how to crawl in bedrock edition. It’s more like your swimming without water. First you have to make a 1 by 1 block hole where you want to get into to, then you need to have enough water to start swimming, once your’re horizontal you can enter and start digging or mining in that 1x1 block opening and keep going even when you aren’t under water anymore. Wasn’t hard to figure out, after I realized the trap door method didn’t work in Bedrock.

My favourite parity difference is when you're in a java boat, you dont take fall damage, and in bedrock you do

Honestly if Mojang would give bedrock players duel wielding than I would be just fine without most of the things that Java players have.

I love playing on bedrock, and there have definitely been times that I wanted to decorate with some things but can't because it is java online, I do wish we could use our offhand

This video is great! I searched a lot of websites and they all just list the computer (technical) stuff but not the real gameplay differences. This will really help people who want to buy Minecraft but do not know which one to choose.

The auto generated subtitles actually said "ibx toycat" for once, this is amazing!

13:05 There has to be a balance between logic and convenience, if Minecraft threw all logic away they would add all kinds of garbage features nobody wanted, like a spontaneous combustion meter that makes you explode every 6.72784827 to 208.377727661^2 seconds regardless of if its full or not. If Minecraft cared not for convenience and strictly followed real logic, Minecraft would be a pain in the neck to play and more of a chore than a game...

I really want the cauldrons of potions for my java games and that they make it so dispensers can load them in. Would make an interesting option for bulk potion storage with automated potion brewing machines. Also while I wasnt initially happy with the glow squid, I am very glad they make signs so much more readable.

7:00 You can still crouch in bedrock by using a water door to get in your base.

Reasons to play bedrock: LARGE SALMON

When he said “you don’t even play both versions” I felt called out (not a bad thing) as someone who consistently plays both versions

On number 2, that seems to be countered by the fact that villagers have a MUCH wider range to work if they have a composter nearby. Like if you have a 10x 10 field they'll work the whole field whereas in Java they only have a very small diagonal area to work with.

I'm a bedrock player but I usually watch java videos on KZfaq, and honestly it's super fun to see the differences and I love to tell the little things to my big bro who is only a bedrock player x3

We bedrock peasants can’t compete with villager head shaking

i play java, i recently have been playing a lot of bedrock, when i started playing bedrock and going through everything i noticed so so so many differences, every 2 minutes was like a culture shock or something, this video was rlly great, kept me interested the whole time also my favourite thing from bedrock that isnt on java is moving chests with pistons, its so fun to undouble ppls chests as a troll lol

i always wear elytra in bedrock. i had no idea about the fast rising thing, i just find elytra REALLY FUN

Fun fact: if you can doubt your existence, you exist.

You can right-click redstone to change it from the + or • on Java, not sure why, or if it's on bedrock edition...

I’ve been plying both editions for years on and off, mostly Java edition, to me it seems like most of these things are issues where Java edition just has to make it work but bedrock has to make it work for every platform. Therefore, things that seem to require more dynamic coding tend to stay in Java and things that are more aesthetic go to bedrock imo. Also I feel like caves generate much less frequently and the landscape is overall much more boring in bedrock. Like, in my recent memory, bedrock looks like an old version of Minecraft where the biomes don’t cross at all. TLDR: Java edition is about staying true to the vision of Minecraft, bedrock is about pleasing the biggest crowd possible. Hence the dabbing armor stands.

"you don't even play both the versions, why are you so curious?" Me, who plays Java alone and bedrock with my friends: cool

Caught this video so early that the SD video hasn't quite finished processing lol

The parity i would like to see on bedrock that Java has is being able to mark locations on maps with banners.

Wow that cast fishing rod model was amazing!

06:19 *i really hope you read this* its not that people are saying the trapdoor trick is possible in bedrock, its the crawl. if you swim into a 1x1 space and then take the water away, you are left crawling in bedrock edition. and will un-crawl as soon as you are in a 2 block high space again. so the feature is clearly in bedrock. but the way to get to it, is not. *why?*

Thanks for that bee joke in the first 3 seconds. You’ll BEE hearing from my lawyers :)

You forgot the BIGGEST parity feature: Light goes through slabs and stuff in bedrock, which is obviously superior.

As someone who plays both versions equally and appreciates them equally I didn't know about the salmon differences. Very interesting. I dislike water but I will be including an aquarium on my mirror worlds for java and bedrock now.

They should have a parity update honestly, if they really want the two versions to be the same.

WHY DOES NOBODY TALK ABOUT THE OFF HAND!!!!

Ah yes, my favorite minecraft youtuber iBEExtoycat

One major thing NEEDS to come to bedrock explosions don't blow up items

I would like to see a hardcore series where you create farms necessity for a hardcore world, like doing nothing but getting stacked off farms and how to build some

The captions got his name right!!!

30:23 if my memory is correct, in Java 1.9 they changed it the recipe to require and a shovel but they revert it

Good to know that not being able to bonemeal sugarcane is a java problem, I switched to java recently and was very confused when I couldn't bonemeal sugarcane, I thought maybe it wasn't actually a thing you could do and I just thought you could do it

super informative, i used to play bedrock and had to switch to java & there are so many differences i didn't know about.

We all thought Mojang said they wanted parity with Java, but we obviously misheard and they actually said they wanted to make a parody of Java.

Bedrocks players need glass to smooth out and not see the lines, it ruins my builds so I just don't use glass

Some things that are very different on both versions is: 1. There is no world border on Bedrock (the world starts breaking down at about 30k blocks out anyway though, so they can add the world border to Bedrock once they finally fix that). 2. Commands are extremely different on both versions. Commands are much easier to use on Bedrock, but there is way less you can do with them, you have much less freedom). 3. Throwables (Ender Pearls, Splash Potions, etc) work much differently on Bedrock. On Bedrock they look much bigger when thrown, and move much slower through the air, stopping you from being able to throw them far. This semi affects bows and crossbows too, since the arrows don’t fly as far or fast, it’s much less noticeable though and the arrows are the same size as on Java. 4. Bedrock has a unique bridging mechanic which doesn’t exist on Java. On Bedrock when you look off the edge of a block, you can place another block without having to lean over the edge of it to place it on the side of the other block). 5. On Java, you can use commands to get enchantments of extremely high levels, but on Bedrock they are restricted to the default max level (so for example, you can’t have Sharpness over the level of 5 on Bedrock, but on Java you can have Sharpness 100 or even higher if you wanted to). 6. There is no Hardcore mode on Bedrock, but there is on Java. 7. There are no Amplified worlds on Bedrock, and you can’t change how the world is generated (single biome, no villages, etc). But on Java, there are so many world settings when creating a world. 8. On Bedrock, there is no Glowing effect, or a proper Dolphin’s Grace effect (by that I mean it doesn’t show up as a status effect, and you can’t give it with commands. It’s a hidden effect that you can notice when swimming with dolphins. On Java it gives you the Dolphin’s Grace effect). 9. Bedrock doesn’t have the 1.9 Combat changes (I’m not complaining about this one though). 10. The ender dragon fight is different on Bedrock. The dragon AI is different, but there are also other differences too which I can’t exactly point out, but they are noticeable). The dragon fight seems harder on Bedrock. 11. Loot from chests and stuff like that are tied to the seed on Bedrock, but on Java it’s always random. 12. On Java, you can easily switch the version of the game on the launcher, but on Bedrock you are just stuck on the current version of the game (unless maybe you use third party apps or something). 13. Servers work much differently on Bedrock and are very limited/restricted. 14. You have to spend money to get skins, servers, etc on Bedrock, but on Java you can get/do that stuff for free and very easily. 15. On Java, you can download mods or addons, but on Bedrock you can only use addons (and you also have to pay for them). Mods allow you to completely change the game and add whatever you want, but Addons can only use assets, mechanics, etc from the game. One example of this is that with Mods, you can add vehicles to the game which are their own separate thing, but with Addons, they are actually just remodelled horses. 16. On Java, you can get the head of the skin of any player, but on Bedrock you only have the mob heads and steve head. 17. Java edition has Advancements, but on Bedrock you have Achievements (well if you play it on Xbox or Playstation anyway. I’m not sure about what happens when you play Bedrock edition on a pc/laptop). Advancements are separately tied to each world, but Achievements are done across all worlds / the entire game at once, so once you’ve done one, you can never do it again on that same account. 18. The lighting/graphics are different on Bedrock than Java. Everything looks more vibrant/colourful on Bedrock. Java looks dull. 19. The Ancient Cities seem to have less Sculk Shriekers on Bedrock, so it’s safer to traverse them. Maybe I just got lucky with the one I found though. 20. On Bedrock, you can use § to add effects to your text, like changing the colour of it, making the text bold or italics, or changing it to glitch text (which is basically unreadable). you can’t do that on Java. Btw it works on any kind of text, so on signs, in the chat, etc. How it works is that you put the § symbol, and then any letter/number after it without a space, so for example, you can do §4, which will make the text red, or you can do §l, to make the text bold. The “l” is a lowercase L btw (I’m saying this because the lowercase L and uppercase i look basically the same on this font). You can also combine them like this: §4§l, so the text will be red and bold. Any text, no matter what it is will be changed if it’s placed after that symbol, so you can do spaces and stuff like that if you want. §l will make text bold, §o will make text italics, §k will make the text glitchy, and §(insert number or certain letters here) will do different colours. Btw if you put a bullet point (•) before text, it will make the text tiny (it also makes your name in the chat tiny as well for some reason). It doesn’t need the §, but if you use that then the bullet point (•) won’t show. Certain other characters do the same thing as the bullet point (•) as well, but the bullet point (•) is the first one that I noticed. 21. There’s so Debug Stick on Bedrock (I think there used to be, but it got removed or something and I don’t know why). The Debug Stick changes the state of the block that you click when you’re holding the Debug Stick. You can get it on Java with the /give command. There were a couple other things I wanted to mention as well, but I forgot what they were. If I remember them, then I might edit this comment to include them.

I've always been a bedrock player, so I'm really glad with the aesthetics, i just wish we could place stuff on the bottom of trapdoors still, at least we can on top of them so far lol, other than that I'm just waiting for map markers with banners, which I wouldn't expect to be a difficult addition
