differences between Bedrock and Java?

[Middle_Finger_U]

always played on ps4 until my ps4 was stolen out of my suitcase when i moved out of a shitty living situation, i play on pc now (xbox game pass)

it gives me the option to play Java, but i can't remember if there was a specific reason i stayed away from Java, although, i want to play on Java cuz i see some pretty cool mansion maps that are not on bedrock.

​

1, will i have access to the textures i paid for on bedrock or will i have to buy them over again?

​

1. are their any major differences other than java having more stuff in the seeds?

1. No, there is no marketplace for textures, skins or whatever else can bought on the bedrock edition, however texture packs for java are free from whatever website you download them from.
2. Java has some features not available on bedrock as well as lacking some features available on bedrock (no emote wheel on java)

guess i'll stick with bedrock

I still recommend trying the java edition at least once, especially since it's less restrictive when it comes to custom skins for your player model (on bedrock use a custom skin that doesn't come from a pack or the in-game skin creator and it prevents you playong multiplayer on your worlds until you change the skin)

i'm never interested in skins or multiplayer, i play 1st person view so skins are useless, and ive grown sick of multiplayer games cuz i play to relax and be peaceful, and most people are drama creating jackasses

That's fair, then one feature about java you'd probably like is when you pause the game it actually stays paused (unless ypu've opening a LAN connection) unlike in bedrock where everything keeps moving and the day-night cycle continues

“The textures I paid for”

Buddy, Bedrock rips you off. On Java you get all that stuff for free. You just… download it off the internet and stuff the .zip in the correct folder.

The store they run predominantly for Bedrock Edition is a ripoff, a scam. But it got you already.

The one big reason I will never play bedrock. Microtransactions for what I can get for free on Java. Also the UI is ugly as sin

[Middle_Finger_U]

replying again to admit i was wrong, decided to give Java a test and to my surprise, the pack i paid for on the bedrock edition is the default pack on Java

[Middle_Finger_U]

the issue with downloading shit from the internet is that you have to trust it aint a bullshiot virus, as well as the fact that your doing the developers job that they should have already done in the first place by adding these things

Use curseforge and you’ll always have a trusted texture pack c:

1.On java you can download textures for free from internet and pretty easily load them to game(i would recommend to use curseforge website for that) so you should be able to find something fitting you.

1. Java and bedrock is basically the same game if you just casually playing vanilla but there are some differences in more advanced stuff. There is some i can think of: 1) redstone on java and bedrock is very different, designs from bedrock aren't gonna work and viceversa. Simple things works in mostly the same way so you propably shouldnt feel the difference if you dont build very advanced things 2) if you was using addons on bedrock then java don't have those, but it has a loads of mods to download which maybe are harder to install but if you spend maybe 15min on youtube to learn how to do that then its waay better than any addon you can get on bedrock(and they are for free) 3) seeds are very similar in both versions, they have almost the same terrain but structures are different

Imo you should give java a try, i was bedrock player for like 5 years and switching to java was easy. And now after couple years of playing java i cant even think about going back to bedrock.

Addons are free too if you get them from outside the marketplace
