    Java > Bedrock

    F*ck M$ for even making Bedrock…
    It’s an inferior version of Minecraft and it fractures the modding community.

      its technically better.

      microsoft just made it limited and stupid on purpose to make more money off it. which is more infuriating imo.

        Yea, back in the day I dreamt about a Minecraft that didn’t run on Java and thus better on the low end hardware I had. In my dreams it just still had all the benefits of the Java edition which is why I now dream of old Java Minecraft

        Yeah the infuriating part is not the mere existence of bedrock, but the fact that they purposefully made it suck. It could have been much better than the java version if they did it right.

      So just fuck everyone who doesn’t play on Pc? There are aspects about bedrock that should be gotten rid of, but it’s existence is for the ability for cross play to exist. I play both versions but bedrock made making a cross platform server for my friends and I (who all play on different consoles) possible.

        Instead of making bedrock edition,
        they could have focused on supporting JVM, and thus Minecraft Java Edition, for more consoles.

        But since Java is a C# (also from M$) competitor, they likely did not want to go that route.

        Anyways, you can play Java Edition on Linux, Mac, Windows and also Android.

        Multiple consoles (E.g. PS4 / Nintendo Switch) unofficially support dual booting to Linux and/or Android.

        For Android you can use PojavLauncher,
        it even supports modpacks:
        https://github.com/PojavLauncherTeam/PojavLauncher

        I will not touch Bedrock edition,
        especially not since it requires you to sign in on your Windows with a M$ account, while my Windows KVM is Ameliorated, which strips the ability to do so, nor would I want to if I could.

          Yeah I hate the signing into a Microsoft account part. It’s unnecessary and they need to get over no one uses Hotmail.

          you don’t need to sign in, you can just sideload the appx package (it’s likely to fail due to license verification, there are ways around it tho, like stopping the licensing service)
