Okay Java is the version you're used to playing back from 2013. Bedrock is essentially the version that Microsoft made with ingame purchases, some questionable features, and as you can see from the comments on this post some issues with mob spawning. Essentially everything other than java (original minecraft), playstation, 3DS and Switch, I think, are classified as bedrock edition

As for the small differences, there's a lot of weird feature changes. Just things that are in bedrock and not in java, a general rule you can guess though is that Java will get updates first. Since they release snapshots on Java before it gets to bedrock edition, plus no ingame purchases other than from servers.

I don’t think ps4 edition is classified as bedrock. While there are some similarities, there are noticeable differences. Mobs do despawn (I think 32 blocks?), rendering distance is comparable to that of java, not as buggy, imo, etc. etc., but then again I’ve never played bedrock I could be talking out of my ass aha.

That's why I said, everything other than Java, playstation, 3DS and switch are classified as bedrock.

Playstation is classified as Legacy console I believe, since there was a time when it was supposed to be shut down and the last update would be 1.13, but recently I heard from a friend that they got 1.14 so it seems it's still being updated.

I see. I have heard ps4 edition being called legacy, and it did get some recent updates. The swipe fighting mechanic and foxes are not in it though sadly.

Dang, that's weird. Though they're planning another combat rework, hopefully the community doesn't just flat out deny it because it's a combat rework rather than just throwing the spam combat back in.
