It's hilarious that the Java edition is limited to PCs when the programming language Java is meant to enable a cross platform programming environment and the bedrock edition is written in C++ which requires platform specific compilation.

[MarianzYT]

I really hate that they say "We are working in parity between versions", and then 20 minutes later they add another feature exclusive for one of the two editions. That's what i really hate about the game right now

[Shuinon]

I grew up on bedrock and was always under the impression that java was unanimously understood as the superior version

[HekateMGO]

We can all agree the Bedrock Wither is an absolute menace.

[UltraAryan]

Mojang is serious about not diverging the games further as anything new introduced since 1.15 that is different across both versions is considered a high priority bug. But Mojang really needs to make a dedicated update to solve the parity problems created in the past due to lack of coordination before 1.15

The Bedrock vs Java debate is only a taste of what it is like being from the Balkans.

As a fan of both versions, I am proud to announce that I prefer the Legacy version.

[GolemOO]

The fact that the Legacy Console Edition and Java Edition have similar features such as Redstone and customizable superflat worlds are my two favourite versions of the game

[agabe_]

What I hate is that these two editions are obviously meant to be different and yet they are still trying to convince us that they strive for full parity.

[Marioiscool]

I call the Java Edition "Mojang's Minecraft" and Bedrock Edition "Microsoft's Minecraft".

[loganon]

one of the things i hate most about the java/bedrock divide is mojang removed features from java when they were attempting to convert everyone, so they would see java getting worse and jump ship

I've been playing bedrock since it came out and I think I talk for a lot of people when I say many of us bedrock players, hate our own version because we can't have mods. Also, many good farms are only functional in java. The thing is that, in those aspects (among many others) we're just screwed. And however, we can't just buy a pc and buy java edition. It's not that easy.

[TigerwolfonYoutube]

Putting “Java Edition” under the name of the Java Edition and removing “Bedrock Edition” under the name of the Bedrock Edition is what really sent me over the edge.




(Edit): for the people who keep saying "well actually Bedrock isn't a knockoff of Java": I know that. Stop trying to tell me that. I'm just saying it feels and looks like a knockoff.

[jmckenzie]

Personally me and almost everyone I know IRL (we're in our late teens) plays Java edition, simply because that's the version we all played when we were little kids - back when there was no Bedrock edition. I suspect there's probably a considerable difference in the average age of Java players vs Bedrock players for this reason.

[lvmagikarp]

As a Bedrock player I had that same "uncanny valley" feeling when I tried playing on Java. I wanted to play in Java because of the TNT duping and all the cool stuff I could do with it, but the gap of differences was too wide to cross and I returned to the version I was comfortable with.

To be completely honest, I always thought that the Java edition was seen as the main version and not the other way around. Whenever I'd search something, I'd always specify it was for the Bedrock edition, which I believed to be "secondary".

[johnirby]

If Java could just be as fast as Bedrock and push furnaces, chests, etc...and if Bedrock could get Java's Redstone a lot of people would be happy

[thetrashguy]

At the end of the day both versions can agree and say, "Hey, at least we don't play education edition."

[PineappleWappleMinecraftVids]

10:36 You can tell that the difference list starts getting more intense at this point.
"Villagers sell different things..."

I love how most of the comments missed the message of this video lmao

[NicoleAFriendOfBlahaj]

I really dont care what version people play, you're having fun and not harming people, good continue to do that
