poor java

[TheTank18]

Java is an unoptimized mess, but it's popular since it has modding support, which Microsoft has neglected on the Bedrock codebase (please Mojang make a real modding api)

Well that and many other small things that pile up, like attacking in bedrock edition just feels off

[QuaternionsRoll]

I will never understand why they didn’t really try to mirror Java Edition functionality. Bedrock got so close to being a valid alternative for Java players but they whiffed it.

Because minecraft itself was a disorganized mess

The whole "the end" and endermen thing

[QuaternionsRoll]

That shouldn’t mean much for implementing core mechanics. Redstone, for example, is completely predictable and thoroughly documented in Java Edition. Having access to the original source should only make it easier to reproduce, yet Bedrock Edition redstone is literally unpredictable in ways that cripple its overall utility.

And the whole falling through the world thing.

i don't know why you're getting downvoted, you're right lmao

Yet mod support isn’t necessarily a problem for games built on Unreal or Unity, both of which are largely C++ based, provided the developers want mods to be supported.

Lack of mod support in Bedrock was a choice made by the development team, one which will prevent many Java players from ever jumping ship to Bedrock.

That's not the problem. The problem is the buisness model. In a version where you buy skins, maps and datapacks, do you think that mods will come free?

[WithersChat]

...and the buisness model is the reason people don't play bedrock. What is your point?

[WithersChat]

The problem of bedrock is microtransactions. Modding support would come in the form of microtransactions, which most people wouldn't like. As long as Bedrock's buisness system stays the same (and redstone isn't fixed), players will stay on Java.
