Minecraft Bedrock Edition

“Microsoft / Mojang don't see fit to enable Minecraft Bedrock for iPads on Macs”

“Handy for Minecraft players on Mac”

“because I can use my iPad Pro with a controller, and my kids can do the same, and they play in the car all the time”

“Bedrock exists to make more money. They don't like the Java free modding.”

“It has roughly the same features, much worse moddability, and better performance.”

“uses a traffic light to show when you need to pay more money, I heard”

“The other one is just an ad-riddden slopfest where they also ban you if you say swear words.”

“there's effectively ~zero reason to use Bedrock if you're on PC”

“There are ways to host bedrock servers, it just isn't as easy”

“Bedrock Minecraft is not supported on Mac”

“completely destroying the groundwork of even moderately advanced redstone”

“Bedrock has always worked fine for me.”

“significantly inferrior bedrock edition, which is way buggier”

“unless you are using the basic graphics options of Bedrock it performs worse”

“The original console port ran better, was less buggy, and had a nicer UI for controllers than Bedrock.”

“at the cost of reducing the world update range, simplifying some of the mechanics”

“does allow you render distances and frame rates that are impossible with the stock Java game”

“Bedrock is far behind on features and is far buggier compared to java edition.”

“I once tried Bedrock in Wine and it worked.”

“occasionally forcing them to make some dumb change that usually stays exclusive to their bedrock edition”

“Minecraft bedrock is having some incredibly shitty tactics to move people towards their marketplace”

“The Java version doesn't substitute for that.”

“Bedrock Edition has a smaller simulation distance, which is kind of the opposite you'd expect from the more "optimized" version.”

“The CPP variant doesn't really perform better anymore either.”

“the hell of overlapping permissions systems on the console and the Microsoft account, to get any amount of online play working on a console if you also get Bedrock”

“far more micro-transaction prompting, far fewer commands”

“The bugs, the differing technical surface and redstone logic, the basic missing key technical features from Java”

“a large proportion of the existing playerbase, including most large content creators, despises Bedrock”

“it would stop accepting connections and required daily restarts”

“The other issue with bedrock is it is far from feature parity with java.”

“Bedrock has so many bugs that if your platform offers the choice between both Java is still preferred”

“servers and mods are more of an afterthought, so not a lot of effort has been put into making it developer-friendly”

“Bedrock is more performant and more portable across platforms”

“all of that except realms is bedrock edition, not the java one”

“The native windows version is not moddable as described above.”

“Microsoft hasn’t prioritized making a Linux version of Bedrock.”

“It's not iOS convenience but they'll sure love to tinker”

“Jankiest part was having to resurrect a very old, deeply unused google account to buy the game”

“The sad thing is that Bedrock is super simple.”

“the unofficial non-paid mods for Bedrock allow for gambling mechanics”
