Hey bedrock players! Before you leave an angry comment, I suggest you watch the entire video throughout - it is a fair comparison and I talk about the experience of bedrock edition from the perspective of someone who has always played the java edition and why the game didn't captivate the existing java audience. Objectively, bedrock is a more popular game and I mention this quite a bit too. Little bit disheartening seeing the number of people who won't watch an entire opinion piece before getting mad and leaving a negative comment.

I think the lack of mods should be taken into account. Since 100% of the Java players have access to mods such as sodium or optifine, I consider them as a part of the game

The thing is, every “good” thing about bedrock can be added to java in about 5 seconds if you have curseforge or modrinth. Like for example the ESSENTIAL mod adds the “ invite your friends on your world” thing with the added bonus that you can use modded/older versions of the game.

another major issue with bedrock is that it is completely impossible to run on linux or mac knowing it was made by microsoft, this is 100% intentional, but it still sucks.

Honestly the thing I hate the most is the way the controls feel on bedrock, like the inventory animation makes it feel sluggish and unresponsive, and the mouse feels harder to control and delayed. Kinda disappointing to play after using Java for years

one thing that drove me away from bedrock personally was the discontinuation of the legacy console versions. for so many years that community was promised modding, crossplay, commands, and full java edition parity. when crossplay was announced, we all thought we would be getting all our promises handed to us but instead we got a watered down game with the pocket edition menu and completely different mechanics :/

The stupid amount of bugs and glitches drove me away especially after my world of over a decade, synced over from 360 edition many years ago, and it’s 60 backup copies all of a sudden got deleted after I tried uploading the world to a realm. I tried contacting Microsoft and Minecraft support and they said they already know of the issue and it’s been around for nearly half a decade.

not to mention, you can't even pause bedrock singleplayer, or minimize it without leaving a server and having to wait for it to completely load again.

I don’t know how to put it but bedrock just feels uncanny, it looks like Minecraft but everything is just off like it has no soul

there are many small differences that none dare to talk about which make it feel uncanny. the fov and bobbing are different, the sounds are different, bedrock looks more saturated especially with grass and leaves, air punches have sound, hotbar looks slightly different (xp bar and opacity), the chat, the arm length is shorter on bedrock (how the arm sticks out on the screen), texture differences, fog, and anti aliasing is different

Even if it isn’t marketed as such, I think bedrock is definitely geared toward younger audiences which leads to why it seems worse in many ways

Bedrock Edition is missing Console edition parity(Tutorial worlds, official minigames, amplified, small biomes, custom superflats, normal redstone) and Java edition Parity(also custom superflats/amlified, modding support, spectator mode, hardcore mode). Also Bedrock has tons of glitches and bugs

The only reason to play bedrock is for crossplay. Also it still baffles me how they gave it a subtitle "Better together" when it's not available on linux

I like how the Bedrock edition has a huge shiny HD "Minecraft" plastered on the main menu while the Java edition's logo is still in pixelated quality even tho it's the original one. edit: I guess they're both HD now

The reason for using C++ isn't that Java can't run on "locked-down" devices. It can easily run on billions of devices, including game consoles and phones. Even performance-wise, Java could run at a reasonable performance on phones and portable consoles. The reason C++ was used is that the development started from scratch and it just made more sense to go for C++ considering it is the industry standard for games and Java is not. But that's it, Bedrock edition could've just as easily have been a Java rewrite if Java was preferred for some reason.

The biggest flaw is that it’s made to run on a cell phone. I want to know who actually benefits from cross play on their phones compared to how many are inconvenienced as a result. I don’t even like Minecraft on my phone anymore even though I used to play MCPE all the time, it’s not the same. This is easier for them, and that’s enough justification in their eyes, but Minecraft will never be the same for me because of it.

Something that i didn't see anyone talking about is how limited the commands are Like you can't summon a fireball and /ride can't be used to ride other mobs

Very well made video. I've touched Bedrock a few times but it just... doesn't feel like Minecraft anymore. The best way I can put it is that Bedrock encourages creating new items/models/mobs/features for server owners and map makers, while Java encourages building on top of what already exists and being more constrained to 'vanilla' mechanics. Not to mention the microtransactions obviously. When I think of Bedrock, I think of the emotes and minecoins and custom models. Their main selling point is the marketplace, NOT the game's classic experience. And that totally goes against what Minecraft is to me.

You also forgot that bedrock isnt full parity, our mob farms are very inneficient and theres a LOT of features missing, for example banner shields, they never came to bedrock, so dual weilding, in a majong video the devs talked about the lack of dualweilding and one of them said: "what are you gonna do, maybe hold a flower?" Us bedrock players are being clowned on.

Shaders were also removed on all bedrock platforms, and also a lot of amazing features are java exclusive.

The code may be "better" but there are still dozens of nearly game breaking bugs. I have thousands of hours on my bedrock survival world and have recently (last 8 months) been playing Java. I honestly don't play much bedrock now, it's just not as polished.

You failed to mention something huge, that is the main reason that a very large community of java players will never move to bedrock, and that's redstone being completely random. The technical community will never move over, because redstone just doesn't behave right. I'd rather have redstone dust not point into pistons, as long as it actually works the way I expect it too.

9:02 Need to correct you on this one - as usual, java edition modders figured out and made a plugin(GeyserMC) that makes java edition servers compatible for bedrock players, making this whole microsoft's bedrock idea even more ridiculous. You can basically throw anything at java edition community and they will be able to deal with it. People are recently figuring out how to disable the new ridiculous chat report system that has been added in 1.19.1. I can imagine even if microsoft stopped updating java, people would still put toghether their own updates or release their own versions of the game, like optifine, that incredible thing is used almost by everyone. I'm very proud of what this community is capable of.

As a bedrock player I actually like the skin system. I personally think it’s kinda cool that there’s a built in UI for making a skin from premade elements. Like a character creator in an RPG The only thing about it I don’t like is they made it another thing to monetize, instead of just the fun player tool it is.

The mob generation on bedrock is horrendous. Animals disappear at night, and despawn in general. You can never count an animal to be there again when you return unless you’ve bred them. And this makes the Nether so much harder. Ghasts and skeletons spawn constantly, which is doubly horrible when you have to crouch to use a shield.

As a map maker who used to play on Bedrock Edition for a few years, switching to Java unlocked infinitely more possibilities. The command system on Java Edition is just so much cleaner and easier to use, even if it seems confusing at first.

As a bedrock player, sometimes i see bedrock as something they experiment on. They add this little but noticable features that aren't found in java to see how it is received by the players

I was a huge Xbox 360 player and loved the game so much. But when I finally played bedrock edition it felt different. Like something had changed. A year goes by and I finally come around to playing Java edition and it felt more like Minecraft the ever. I loved this version everything felt right. It remind me of playing Minecraft Xbox 360 edition for the first Time.

I think a big part of why bedrock has so many issues is that its code was originally intended for lower end mobile devices and then later ported to other platforms. I think that’s why all of the differences between each editions stem from. Back then mobile devices weren’t nearly as powerful so Mojang probably had to compromise by removing some major features. Also many of Java’s important features these days like the nether roof or some weird redstone quirks were originally bugs that were kept in because Mojang back then probably felt like the community would be happy with them staying. Bedrock instead decided to fix those bugs instead of keeping them. And the reason there hasn’t been a major parity update is because the majority of the community, mainly casual players don’t feel the need for it also it wouldn’t make as much money.

I was playing Bedrock edition with my cousin, I was truly impressed with how well it runs even on low end hardware. As someone who codes bukkit plugins, Java performance is something I have to keep in mind a lot. The biggest boon for Bedrock is the performance. It runs so much better in every way possible, but outside of that it's hard for me to say anything else good about it. Moving around in bedrock feels like you're teleporting pixels and not moving, I believe this is because java has lerp, and I'm guessing Bedrock doesn't. The lighting looks worse, dark spots look way too bright, which washes out the lighter places. While redstone seems better on paper it's rather unpredictable. Java handles redstone with a hash set, which has it's own issues, but the issues are consistent.

bedrock doesn't have: - the option to set your main hand to "left" - the ability to pause the game - a way to go back to old versions officially to experience what those were like (Nether Reactor still exists in the game btw) something I have wrong with bedrock: - the mouse seems off. I'm not sure why, it just does. It's weird because I went from Xbox 360 -> Win10 -> Java

You used to be able to mod MCPE before it was remade into bedrock edition I miss those days

My main dislike about bedrock is its whole existence

is nobody else gonna talk about the fact that in bedrock entities and blocks are the SAME light level on every side apart from a few exceptions like your own player model, but even then it just looks too saturated

I feel like the ability to change versions is quite overlooked when comparing bedrock and java. It creates so many cool opportunities such as just going back for nostalgia or even creating content

"the code is just objectively better" ... meanwhile there was a bug wherre you could fall through the world at set intervals of map coords

The thing I miss the most when legacy turned into bedrock was the official Minecraft mini games. Those games were everything to me when growing up with Minecraft. 😢

Is it me, or does bedrock edition just feel wierd? Its also quite fustrating that you can't use the number keys to move items into your hopbar, I use it all the time in Java.

6:37 the quirks of redstone on java edition have allowed incredibly complicated contraptions. Many bugs have become fully fledged features. I stopped playing bedrock back in the ps3 days because of how broken and inconsistient redstone was. Almost no java contraption would work in bedrock.

one of the big reasons I think java players hate bugrock is the monetization. on bugrock, it's a "freemium" game where you have to buy texture packs, custom worlds, and skins, when in java you can do all that for free, but you have to purchase access to the game itself. it's such a stupid idea that microsoft decided to fill bugrock with so many microtransactions that any kid with a below-room-temperature IQ (most children, realistically) will beg their parents to waste money on it instead of having it for free, like java does.

Honestly my biggest gripe is it kicks you from worlds servers and realms if you tab out to do anything

I'm genuinely surprised that no one has mentioned the problems with Bedrock redstone here. It's the main reason I don't play it. The lack of bud powering, 1 ticking, and 0 ticking makes a lot of builds either impossible or much much more complicated. And the weird thing were redstone is just... inconsistent. Sometimes a circuit works, sometimes it doesn't. This seems like such a strange thing, and would definitely go against making redstone more intuitive, which seems to be their goal in Bedrock. Great video! I definitely think that Bedrock has great potential and shouldn't have ignored some of the things that make Java edition so great.

based on the title alone this is an opinion I can vibe with

Gonna be honest, wasn't really aware there was such a divide between the Minecraft editions for so many years. I honestly play on both and I honestly barely notice a difference beyond the ability to mod Java, which I always just took as a fact that you can't really mod console like you can PC versions of games. I haven't played Java in a while but I play Bedrock with my best friend all the time lately.

My main gripe with bedrock is how different it is compared to the console versions it doesnt set right with me, and there are still features like easily customizable superflats that have yet to go on bedrock (yes they also have yet to go on java too).

I feel that the redstone and combat mechanics are what really mess with me when it comes to bedrock and java. Java just suits me better when it comes to making redstone and fighting, as well as swapping between 1.8.9 and 1.9+. What also really turns my head away from Bedrock is that it has a limited amount of items in the right hand.

A thing I don't like about BE is that it just feels like corporate (tm) the moment I boot it up. I boot it up and boom micro-transactions up in my face. Also Java modding is much better and more versatile compared to Bedrock since Java modding allows you to literally replace any line of code in Minecraft's source code. Also another thing to note is that within the JE shader community, the Bedrock edition raytracing is commonly mocked and laughed at for it's poor technical quality and compared to ray-tracing shaders such as Continuum or SEUS PTGI, it's obvious that shaders made by literal hobbyists have more quality and refinement put into them compared to Bedrock Edition's which was created by a corporation. Keep in mind, Bedrock Edition has access to hardware acceleration and DirectX12, Java Edition only runs on OpenGL, which isn't suited to do this heavy-loaded ray-tracing.

Honestly my biggest problem with Bedrock is petty, but I hate how the game doesn't visually feel the same. Obviously you look at bedrock and you can instantly regonize it as minecraft, but there are alot of smaller details that I can only describe as wrong. The most noticeable for me is how the particles are orientated in bedrock, instead of being a 2D billboard copying the orientation of the camera, it is a flat plane facing towards the center of the camera. Other details are with the animations, like the view bobbing on the hand seems slower and heavier. The ui is also different but considering it's designed to run on mobile and console I understand that it had to be reworked. I could do without the transition effects of opening and closing menus though, makes things feel less snappy.

I remember getting bedrock edition purely because my friends only had xboxes and it was the only way I knew we could play together.

I’ve grown up with bedrock edition so it just felt normal for me, but watching so much java edition minecraft growing up, it made me feel completely normal while playing it on my pc for the first time and i can equally appreciate both as a fun game. Although I definitely agree that both games have completely different playstyles due to their differences in mechanics.

Legacy edition was way more stable than bedrock will ever be

I started Minecraft with the Pocket Edition and switched to Java after a year and I don´t know how I survived this mess for an entire year. I´m now playing Java for 5 years and all the mods the community has made are just amazing. I wouldn´t be able to play Minecraft without them. Also, the command blocks are just broken in bedrock. Some commands just not exist and the UI is also very strange.

As someone who primarily plays the Switch version of Minecraft, it’s just sad. The switch version is incredibly laggy. I can’t fly with my elytra more than 50 blocks because I have to let the chunks load in. At random, in my base, the game will freeze because there’s too much stuff. The switch cannot support a game as large as Minecraft. In addition, a lot of the changes and decisions made to Bedrock are primarily made because the have to have Pocket edition in mind, which can be frustrating.

I love Java because to me, it is the core version of Minecraft. It was the first version of Minecraft I've seen and played.

The modded map confusion in the marketplace is exactly what I went through and I was definitely not happy that I didn’t actually buy the mod itself.

I do like both, the biggest annoyances I have when looking at Bedrock is: 1. Insane hostile mob spawns. First time I entered The Nether in Bedrock on a seed, there was at least one Ghast (maybe 2 but I am sure about one) and like 8 or more skeletons, all from when I just exited the portal. And not even all in one part, no some were more to the left some more to the middle/right. On top of that, I just noticed yesterday that skeletons are a bit bs. They shoot way too fast. You can't not use your shield for a second because it makes you get hit. Also even though I could enter The Nether a bit more relaxed, still it didn't take long for me to come across a few skeletons (not much) but mainly 2 Ghasts which them spawning rapidly. I do like that it's easier to knock back the Ghast fireballs in Bedrock. Also the coords on screen without pressing anything or any mods is a nice thing as well. And some of the world generation is just mindblowing on Bedrock. Maybe Java has some better things like you mentioned, but Bedrock has some insane seeds with unexplainable things which really makes it stand out. Seeds of stuff you won't find anywhere on KZfaq on Java. I know it's considered broken world generation, but the fact it's broken actually makes it kind of amazing. The fact base swords are better than axes I also kind of like. It's strange that in Java a tool that's made for cutting is almost always better than a tool literally for combat. And yes I know enchantments, but a big part you would do - especially when not speedrunning - without enchantments. Hell, a wooden axe is as good as a diamond sword, and way earlier available (yes I know you have durability but even then, and when talking about anything above wood besides gold, it's even stronger than a diamond sword). The only sword that's stronger than an axe is a netherite sword which is only one point higher than wood/gold, and is still weaker than stone/iron/diamond. But maybe that last part is kinda nitpicky. As for the marketplace, I get your point. The check on quality should be done but the only way they could do that is by hiring actual players because best way to judge quality is as a "customer". I have the same with website development. I can make what I think is quality but if the customer thinks it isn't then it isn't. But that would make it so they'd probably have to be paid and I can understand that isn't done. Issue is, without the form, many more people - even 12 year olds who watch a video, steal from other people and mods, put it on the marketplace and thats it, while now they might think they don't get away with it until they find out that it isn't actually checked (for as much as I can say that). In the end, best way to make it better is to have experienced, long time players of the Bedrock edition (or even Java) approve of mods, and only if they're approved by those people (as long as they're unbiased and fair) it can get on the marketplace. Especially with it costing money, doing it without approval is a bad thing cause it'd invite bad people from stealing content and parts of mods to sell it as their own. In the end, I do like both versions, some things I prefer on Bedrock, some on Java. I like playing both. If I play unmodded, Bedrock is fine by me. If I want to play with a bunch of OP or cursed mods, Java it is.

I've played Java Edition, Bedrock Edition, and Console Legacy Xbox 360 Edition, and as surprising as it sounds, I prefer Console Legacy over Java and Bedrock Editions and this is due to alot of unique features 4J Studios implemented that are not in Bedrock or Java Editions. Limited World Sizes (Which are easier to manage, I get that this was due to limitations, but it offers a unique experience in itself), small biomes (It doesn't take hundreds to thousands of blocks to get through a biome like it does in Current Gen), ability to Reset the Nether and End in the game without a third party tool, double rail speed, Tutorial Worlds, and many other unique things. These would make for a good Quality of Life Update for Java and Bedrock to implement these features as selectable vanilla options. Bedrock Edition has it's ups and downs. Bedrock Edition is kinda like 'Easy Mode' for non-combat oriented players. Most Mobs are easier to deal with (There are rare exceptions like the Wither Boss), Trident Enchantments are better optimized, Tridents have higher drop rates, Redstone is easier to understand to due lack of Quasi Connectivity, Fishing Rods have six times the durability compared to Java Edition, Shorter Zombified Piglin Aggro Radius, expanded ability to have hidden lightsources under slabs stairs and behind shulker boxes, Two Stacks of Fire Protection IV on Armor Pieces gives you inflammability (meaning you cannot be set on fire), Baby Zombies can jump onto a larger variety of mobs, Drowned have increased Spawn rates, and Structure Mashing (The wonderful bug that mashes generated structures together). Bedrock unfortunately is plagued due to not being able to go back to older versions without using a third party tool such as MCLauncher, meaning alot of the recent nerfs applied can't be worked around within the game and have to use Behavior Packs or third party plugins to get around them. There is also the glitch where persistent mobs can just despawn on chunk borders. Turtles have lower spawn rates as well compared to Java Edition. Also it seems with Bedrock Edition players, alot more seem to be focused on Xbox LIVE Achievements instead of the gameplay experience itself. Phantoms when they generate generate in larger numbers on Bedrock and are more aggressive compared to Java Edition. Java Edition as well has it's ups and down. The enhanced the expansive mod support on Java Edition is just incredible (when used properly), The Sweeping Edge enchantment exists (Which is great for Java Combat), some mobs have enhanced AI compared to Bedrock Edition (Skeletons strafing while firing their bow, Zombies being able to spawn Reinforcements as examples as well as Villagers having an expanded AI), you can go back to older versions of Java Edition within the game itself, Quasi Connectivity with Redstone (Which is good if you have an understanding of Java Redstone), faster healing after eating food (This is a big one, you don't have to sit around for two minutes to heal like you do on Bedrock Edition). You can get above the Nether Bedrock Ceiling on Java and build up there (Unlike on Bedrock Edition where you cannot). Since most Java Players focus on the gameplay experience instead of Xbox LIVE Achievements or Advancements, some don't mind using Plugins or cheats to make matters a bit easier (Such as Disabling Phantoms or adding Custom Enchantments). It's downs are generally harder combat, Tridents are harder to get and Trident Enchantments are not as optimized (Save Loyalty which is actually better on Java than Bedrock), Fishing is slower compared to Bedrock Edition, Riptide use will damage the trident if not hitting a mob (Where as on Bedrock Edition Riptide will only damage the Trident if you hit a mob while using Riptide), Structures will not generally mash together, and Java Edition requires a good PC to use for current versions. So I think at the end of the day, it's player preference. I prefer Console Legacy over the other two, but play on Bedrock Edition primarily due to not being Combat Oriented (Save with Tridents) and love fishing as well as wanting current content. This will not stop me however from playing on a Java Server with Geyser.

Wow. I didn't think I would hear someone use the jazz jackrabbit music in a video. Made my day as this was one of my favourite games when i was younger

PS4 player here - I’d appreciate Bedrock more if its UI wasn’t a buggy mess to operate with a controller. With how everything is set up, it’s _calling_ for you to use a mouse. Heck, it looks like something that’d fit perfect with MC:PE’s aesthetic (huge buttons and all). Another thing is performance. Playing Bedrock alone is so-so (provided you aren’t going to beefy biomes and locations), but playing with split-screen? A mess. Walking around is okayish but as various menus are opened, the framerate *_dips._* It’s crazy given this is Minecraft. Those mentioned above weren’t that much of a serious issue however. What I’m absolutely furious about Bedrock’s addition is that all the skins and texture packs I bought _weren’t ported over._ Legacy skins are now re-locked and I have to *_buy them again._* Yes, I’m aware those are just skins, but I’ve bought them _way back_ during the PS3/Vita days. They weren’t cheap either, so for them to be neglected *_just like_* that is disheartening - not to mention the fact that skins can now be bought with tokens or whatever the hell they call it. I really thought Bedrock was optional and will only be played on should we want to play with other people from other platforms… boy how was I wrong.

The reason why Minecraft bedrock edition has more players than java is because 99% of them are all just kids who play the game for a few minutes and then never play it again afterwards

I started by playing Minecraft back in 1.10 on Java but then went to Bedrock when my old computer broke. I do still Minecraft Java but only when I'm at my dad's, but that isn't very often.

Java and Bedrock can play together on servers :) Geyser and Waterfall [Two Plugins] allows Bedrock players to join Java Servers through some complex packet conversion tools, sure the Bedrock addition will be marginally slower due to this conversion, but it is still very much playable and you don't need that high specs to run the server off of (a 10 year old PC will have more then enough power). It does get a bit more dicey with allowing Console Additions of Bedrock to join but I believe it is still possible! But mobile, nintendo switch and Windows 10 can definitely play together. Obviously it goes without saying that you won't have emotes on the server or anything like that but if you simply want to play together and build, you can just use Geyser and Waterfall which would allow them to connect.

Haven’t played bedrock in a while so I don’t know if they have made any updates to redstone, but it just seemed random. Sometimes the machine would do one thing, the other time it would do something completely different, with no reason for happening

the Kotlin programming language is built in to android and can run on consoles is also a drop in replacement for java

The ONLY reason to play Bedrock is becouse you can't play Java

The first instance of minecraft i played was bedrock edition, and it was great with its easy multiplayer system allowing me to join my friends quickly and it also wasn’t as complicated as java may seem. Now, i’m a java player because of how many more features and mechanics java seems to have, i’d say java is really good but bedrock is also great for people who just want to play with friends or are being newly introduced to the game

As an old bedrock main, I would say both versions are good, but I still recommend Java since I feel like it has a better multiplayer community

I first out started playing on bedrock, then I switched to Java. And oh boy it was soooooooo much better. Yeah bedrock is better optimized and easier to play with friends with, but java is just a so much more enjoyable experience in almost every way.

The worst part of bedrock edition is its look. The particles all face the player, no matter where the camera is. That makes everything look round, which is not minecrafty

The latency on bedrock is honestly disgraceful even when offline, you would think with such a massive player base, they would see the unstableness of the game and bring it to Java’s level but nahh

One of my favorite things about Java is the client side mods - I love Lunar's features (such as optifine and togglesprint), and not having those mods on bedrock is already enough of a reason for me to not use it.

One of my biggest gripes with Bedrock Edition is how you can’t change certain game rules without turning on cheats while making a new world. I personally prefer to play with KeepInventory on, because I just don’t think it’s fun dropping everything you have when you die and potentially losing hours of progress. In Java, I can easily enable this in the world creation menu and leave it at that while still having cheats turned off. I don’t want to enable cheats, I just want to keep my inventory and that’s it. However, if I want to enable this on Bedrock, I HAVE to have cheats enabled and there’s no way to change it once the world is created (and I am unable to earn achievements as a result). It’s not only incredibly frustrating, but it also makes the game less fun for me, and more stressful.

Jazz Jack Rabbit 2 music at 5:00 is sublime

Java is just so much more versatile in terms of what can be made, I don’t think bedrock will ever match that.

The custom armor demonstrated has to be done like on the marketplace due to experimental features not being allowed on the marketplace. Custom armor created with 1.16.100+ format versions basically completley match vanilla.

Hi, I have a little experience with making MC marketplace content. Agreed 100% there is a lot of stuff on there that is trash and the marketplace is very oversaturated these days in my opinion. Something I wanted to mention was worlds that have addons. While yes you can't extract the addon from the world in the game, you can do it manually. If you create a world from a template, that world will be located locally on your machine and you can move the addon and resource pack to another world. Or you can turn them into a zip and rename to .mcpack or something to make it easily importable to other worlds. It's not hard to do, but it's also not something everyone knows you can do. Also if you move a behaviour addon, then also move the resource pack addon. This is because the behaviour pack often has dependencies (models, animations, textures, etc...) in the resource pack that it needs to work.

The better performance arguement is kind of inalid when you include mods because fps mods like sodium make java edition way faster than bedrock. And thanks to mods, you have basically infinite content on java edition

from my experience as a bedrock player switching to Java, it feels very out of place and weird, but after i played it for a few months i got used to it and find bedrock too simple and boring. (Not saying bedrock is bad)

There's tons of issues with even stuff like animations and visual effects too in bedrock. It really feels like a knockoff.

The funny thing is they call minecraft bedrock just "MINECRAFT" in the starting screen and in java edition it just says "java edition" and why.

my main issue with bedrock is the graphics, its just too bright I really loved legacy and pocket edition and bedrock ruined those for me

I still miss my days on the original console version of Minecraft, it was so much fun with the survival and spleef game modes, and relaxed vibe to it. Also it wasn’t as washed down in color as bedrock, which for some reason for me it looks cheaper

To be honest the only things holding me back are, command blocks being awfully simple to the point of it being hard to code and redstone, it just feels like some features were left unfinished and I wish it wasn’t that way as it’s extra features are some I wish could be in java, like camera shake commands and support for all platforms

I'm a bedrock player and I think that starting coding minecraft pe with a different language was a fatal but kinda understandable error that could have been fixed in a future, then the marketplace doomed that future as it finally separated bedrock from java forever, also I think java has better features but I don't played it since a long time ago because it doesn't run very well on my pc

6:53 Oh my goodness look at that spike in most replayed lol

I started off on console and moved to playing Java over the years, and I like Java a whole lot more. A HUGE thing I’m into is modding. At this point, I can barely play survival without them, just because of the sense of ease. I’m in love with FTB ultimine and Journey Maps. Create is an incredible mod. You just can’t get them on console. I wish it was easier to play with friends online on Java, but that’s my only complaint

this mans surprises me with how good his content is: its informal, entertaining, chill and enjoyable. its interesting to watch the video but tis still nice to listen to in the background. Keep on making the awesome content that you do!

I used to be Java only, until I wanted to easily play with friends. I currently have a survival bedrock world I'm having a ton of fun on. There are parts of Java I miss... LIKE SLABS AND STAIRS. Light passes through them in Bedrock and it causes horrific lighting issues. I definitely think Bedrock could be so so much better and replace Java. And honestly? I'd be fine with that as long as they really put in the work for casual players but also more technical players like modders, etc.

The fact that in bedrock you cant just hover over an item and hit a number key to put it on that number in your hotbar. Also java has so many free mods and modpacks. Imagine if modpacks were a thing on bedrock, you would have to spen like 100 bucks to get an average size pack.

The only reason bedrock was still okay for me was because of how easy it is to invite your friends to play but now on java the essential mod exists which you can do the exact same thing. The marketplace has some of the worst content ever. If someone is reading this and wants actually good maps for bedrock, check out zedafox’s maps because they’re free and really good.

I think the reason bedrock feels so off is all the little things. Particles and entities are rendered a bit too bright, texture pop-in is a bit TOO noticable, with grass disappearing at about 4 or 5 chunks away on fancy graphics and 12 render distance. I think the grass pop-in would be slightly better if it used a low-poly model when viewed from a distance, like sugarcane. Basically imagine a destructive performance mod with an equal amount of missing features to QoL/performance improvements

My major complaint with bedrock edition is that there is tons of bugs and it feels like they are adding new bugs in every bug fix update. It also seems like bugs that have already been fixed return after a few updates.

I used to play on bedrock for a long time. I started with ps4, went to iPad, and then went to Java. And I have to say, they all feel like different games. The console edition felt slightly clunky, as the mouse was replaced with the joystick. Bedrock felt more like “regular Minecraft.” What I mean by that is that single player and (non-server) multiplayer dominated it. Thus, people would spend more time on their own worlds, instead of servers. Java edition was far more different however. It was smooth, fast, and it was a huge upgrade. However, the two biggest upgrades were the mods and servers. I played Twilight Forest, Galacticraft, and a few others, and they transformed Minecraft into a new game. Mods are available on iPad, but they aren’t very good. The servers are the best part of Java, though. Hypixel is truly just amazing, with tons of different competitive, casual, and slow games (like Skyblock). I think that Hypixel is absolutely what pushes Java over the top alone. The Minecraft marketplace and character customization is pretty great though.

As an old bedrock player I can fully agree with this.

All mojang had to do was give 4j studios the rains to helping on the devlopment of this game but they didn't which is sad cause the console editions of the game were so iconic not just because it was the games full debute on all systems but the fact each version was tailor made for the system it is used on is the cherry on top the bedrock edition while has cross play is everything minecraft wasn't before it was bought out by Microsoft

As a bedrock player, (has java edition but doesn't play it because it has no controller support for no reason) it is literally unplayable how broken bedrock edition is, i literally can never get a clean experience in bedrock edition that i just stopped playing Minecraft

I like the effort put into this. tbh I don't care what edition I'm playing as long as I'm having fun.

toycat gonna be so mad over this

my big issue with bedrock is the fucked up dual wielding. i almost never use shields, i just never found them useful, but i would always have my torches in my offhand while exploring. i cant do that in bedrock and it just makes exploring a cave unfun

If i ever get a pc the first game i’m getting is java edition Minecraft
