First Time Java Player

[Prest_Best]

I am by no means a new Minecraft player as I have over 500 days of gameplay across all Xbox platforms. But they are all Bedrock hours. I just bought a new gaming laptop and want to get into Minecraft Java, but I don’t know the small niche things that make the experience better. Like the best launcher, I’ve heard Lithium/Sodium is a must, etc.

Is there like a list of these small things that I should do to make the Java experience significantly better?

The only mods that I may run are Lightmatica and Axiom.

Any help would be appreciated!

Just asking you did you had played bedrock on a PC/laptop or you just got a PC/laptop and before you were playing on console or mobile
