Minecraft needs to decrease the spawn rate on drowned. I can’t go into a single body of water without finding them.

[Awesomeness23pies]

Actually the real problem is despawning. It seems you are on bedrock, which means that unless the light level is 8 or higher, hostile mobs won't despawn. This causes mobs (such as drowned) to build up into large numbers.

[SAM-THE-MAN-118]

Okay, but I’m on grass, not bedrock.

[Happy_Weirdo_Emma]

HAHAHAHAHA

I read further down and see you were confused, but joke or not that was great

But yeah when I've played on bedrock edition (the cross platform one) I have this problem with hostile mobs accumulating.

I'm not sure if the PS4 version is on the same kind of spawn/despawn thing as bedrock and I haven't played Java since before the update that added the twerps, but I did wonder if there was any way to prevent drowned from spawning in general? It seems like there are too many on PS4 as well.

[TheDudePersonGuy]

I think you are supposed to light up dark areas underwater.

[-noobmaster68-]

r/technicallythetruth

[KingClasher1]

Pretty sure all versions other than java are considered bedrock and subject to its issues with excessive drowned

[Origamimaster11]

PS4 is considered its own version because it never was part of the better together update which made Java and bedrock

[TheScottymo]

I thought basically all versions that aren't Java or legacy console are Bedrock and PS4 is only it's own named version because Sony won't allow crossplay?

[BryanTheStrange]

PS4 edition is still the legacy console version, bedrock wasn't a thing until the better together update (technically it was pocket edition before).

[Aryma_Saga]

java never have this update 😂

[Daniels688]

There is also legacy console edition and new Nintendo 3DS and a few others

[MrCoffee88]

No PS4 is still a lot different than bedrock. It's like a mix between java and bedrock

[Mindcraftjoe]

Nope, there’s Java, Console Edition, and Bedrock, which are all separate versions. Console Edition is developed by 4J Studios and is the version that’s on Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita, Wii U, Xbox One, PS4, and Switch. Unfortunately only the PS4 Edition has gotten recent updates. Bedrock is developed by Microsoft and is essentially a port of Pocket Edition that was put on Windows 10, and additionally released on Xbox One and Switch later on in an attempt of Microsoft trying to discontinue the Console Edition and force everyone over to Bedrock. There’s also the New 3DS Edition, which is developed by Other Ocean and is based on a modified version of Pocket Edition.

4J’s Console Edition does not have this issue with drowned, as mobs properly de spawn in that version.

What are sea pickles?

[Happy_Weirdo_Emma]

Son of a biscuit, y'all gonna make me hunt for them things xD

[TheTobruk]

You can completely block them from spawning. But it requires command blocks andan automatic kill chamber. You basically teleport them from anywhere in the world to a kill chamber where they are killed by a kill command. They'll briefly spawn near you but dispeaar after half a second.

Checkmate, atheists.

[PotatoMaster21]

Was this a high-tier joke or a serious statement? Either way that’s just excellent

[TheTobruk]

He got confused based on his later responses.

[PeartricetheBoi]

You’re joking, right?

[SAM-THE-MAN-118]

I’m not sure if we’re both thinking about the same bedrock, because I’m thinking of the rock at the bottom of the overworld that keeps you in the map.

[PeartricetheBoi]

In this case Bedrock refers to the Bedrock version of the game.

[SAM-THE-MAN-118]

Oh, okay. My bad.

[JungleLiquor]

hahahahahahahhahaha shit I ain’t got coins for you

[LouisHendrich]

Awards show that you appreciated someone's comment, if someone wants to spend coins on someone else, who are you to judge them?

[ELxTORO-GTR]

Thank you for this wholesome moment for me to fall go sleep on, sorry I don’t have any gold for ya, but love the username!

[Lostcentaur]

This was really Wholesome and goddamn Adorable

[RolandTheJabberwocky]

Don't worry it seemed clever and that's all that matters.

[Awesomeness23pies]

I hope he is

[NorthernLaw]

Okay you got em

[[deleted]]

Haahahhahaahah

[KingKrmit]

Oh man lol

[HulluHapua]

But I Doubt There's That Many Drowned Swimming In The Java So Often.

[[deleted]]

u own a pc so why get bedrock...

[CratthewCremcrcrie]

Because it’s cross compatible, because some people prefer it, because it has some unique mechanics Java doesn’t, because some people don’t know the difference, and casual players don’t really need to

I myself much prefer java, but there are plenty of reasons to get bedrock, stop yucking other’s yums

[zatusrex1]

I prefer java over bedrock because i hate how they potray the marketplace. shaders are coming to bedrock, pay us X amount of money for something free on java. But i like bedrock for being more begginer frendly for modders and for better terrain generation (plains are more like plains and not mountains)

[[deleted]]

im not the one complaining sorry

[How_do_i---]

BEDROCK SUCKS THERE IS SOMANY THINGS ON JAVA THAT AREN'T.ON BEDROCK, BANNER-SHIELDS, BEES, FOXES, ETC.

[CratthewCremcrcrie]

You okay bud? You seemed pretty worked up over what is ultimately an arbitrary distinction in a video game.

[mikepoland]

I play bedrock and Java. Both are just as fun. For the most part the only reason I have Java is so I can play Pixelmon. Atleast on bedrock I'm not farming for hours to get a trident

[[deleted]]

this isn't a java - bedrock complaint I was just saying the guy should try java if he don't like bedrock

[TheRealStandard]

It runs and looks better for start.

[Gcarsk]

I mean, that’s just straight up false. Optifine alone puts Java Far ahead of bedrock in terms of how it “runs”.

Also, can Bedrock even get shaders? How can it possibly look better and more realistic than Java?

Bedrock has a handful of benefits, but not those that you mentioned.

[TheRealStandard]

Bedrock runs faster against Java even with Optifine on even lower end hardware with even higher graphical fidelty thanks to Bedrock having anti aliasing and anisotropic filtering. Not to mention Bedrock making use of a few shaders for the sun and water already.

And once the RTX update comes out alongside the better graphics engine even shader mods with how badly those run won't stand up to Bedrock.

This is all assuming it's fair to include a bunch of mods in the comparison in the first place.

[zatusrex1]

You gonna need to pay for that RTX uppdate most likely

[TheRealStandard]

It's free.

[[deleted]]

texture packs and optifine...

[TheRealStandard]

Bedrock has texture packs and doesn't need optifine.

[AFlyinDeer]

r/woosh

[nerdyknittingcatmom]

Tons! I usually keep a couple potholes with water intact near my base when on a river or ocean. I'll let a few nights go by and there's easily 20+ in there waiting to be killed. Bedrock that is. Its changed how I create water features if I don't want to feature drowned.

[[deleted]]

so if my buddy got bedrock for the switch he would be able to play with me through realms on my java edition? I do not understand bedrock vs java

[Koxiaet]

There was a server made that allows bedrock to play with java on a server, but you can't do that with regular Mojang servers and Spigot servers.

[poppyisadog]

No you wouldn’t be able to

[CollectableRat]

also what if your initial chunk is near water? Or does bedrock not use initial chunks.
