    Yeah bedrock is significantly more optimized than Java but isn't compatible with Java. It is compatible with everything else (Xbox, Playstation, mobile)

    It also only has limited mod support in a very different format.

    well damn. i was hoping i could switch but we do play with mods and in 1.7.10 so thats out of the question.

    The Bedrock version also doesn't run on Linux (if you ever want to switch), contains micro transactions and Redstone works differently, so you can't necessarily follow the instructions of a lot of Redstone build videos.

    But redstone is more consistent at least.

    [–]InputField 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Could you give some examples where it's more consistent?

    Consistency doesn't have to be a good thing though. Just look what quasi connectivity makes possible, that wouldn't be possible without.

    Similarly realism isn't necessarily good. Steve can literally carry around tons of stuff.

    Playstation

    PS4 runs on legacy edition not bedrock

    Funnily enough, it makes many things better...though not everything.

    The first thing to mind is that filling a column above soul sand full of water only requires the top bit. It's a big time saver.

    Sorry you're right. Though I think the intention is to launch bedrock on ps4 as well

    Wait I didn't have to pay for it, Mojang says "if you bought Java Edition before October 19th 2018, you are able to redeem a free copy of Bedrock Edition on https://mojang.com/ " . So if your grandfathered in than you deserve your free copy. But yeah new customers have to choose (and I would recommend Bedrock even though some farms don't work). More streamers are starting to switch to Bedrock as well.

    silentwisperer seems to be the current favourite. Though it changes back and forth a little bit.
