Minecraft Java CANCELED! When, How, and WHY!

Minecraft Java Edition is on the path to being canceled! In this video I talk about how this is happening, how long it is going to take, and why Mojang is doing it! Minecraft Bedrock will become the main and only edition of Minecraft due to advances in modding, graphics, performance, creator tools and more!

My biggest issue with Bedrock Edition is how it plays. I've tried it and I hate it. It always feel clunky in movement compared to Java. The creative menu navigation is slower, Java is quicker and a lot smoother in most aspects. Granted Bedrock has better performance, I will give Bedrock that one. There's honestly a lot about Bedrock that will never make me want to play it, Java has a much bigger community than Bedrock, especially when it comes to KZbin, I personally don't see Java being weeded out like that. You say Bedrock has been getting major changes to have more parity to Java, maybe it's to merge Bedrock into Java? Not the other way around.

[@gwfun22]

I agree

[@felixvargas6834]

They wont remove trust me Microsoft has to give java better stuff than bedrock

[@CocoRoxas]

I played Bedrock for years before finally being able to afford a gaming computer to see how Java played and WOW! Everything was so much faster and building became easier bc of it too! I haven’t gone back to Bedrock, but I still have fond memories. And the added bonus of mods on Java also won me over. 😂

[@daanbeekmans7085]

I think, as a bedrock player, that if mojang decides to shut down Java edition. No matter when they do that. That there will be a major backlash from the community. I personally think that they will try to merge Java and bedrock into 1 single edition with the best features from both sides. Avoiding backlash in the process.

[@adamgeigerjr6995]

better yet? make Minecraft 2 with a load of features wanted by the community & only for next-gen/PC that can handle the output of the implemented features … its the large population using phones to play MC that's really holding back updates, graphics, etc.

[@ShiroCh_ID]

@@adamgeigerjr6995 no the only reason itw as holded back wasnt because Mobile phones its just Microsoft has a silly ideas to make Pocket Edition with Bedrock Codebase became Mainline Minecraft since its relase 1.2 dubbed Better Togheter Updates i mean i aknowledge if PE will have some features isnt implemented yet but ever since Cross Platform updates exist the game became more and more Unstable Every updates(especially in Village and Pillage Updates Onwards)

[@mikewhitaker2880]

sad thing is they did NOT even need to make multiple versions of the game, because ALL the problems of having EVERYONE play together started when they made Bedrock and Pocket editions in the first place... and the problem is not so much the multiple versions as the laziness of NOT creating an adaptive internet code that would allow different versions to coexist..

[@daanbeekmans7085]

Tbh, minecraft is minecraft. Both versions have their own good and bad things in their code. But the core vanilla experience for both versions is the same. We can place blocks, destroy blocks, build beautiful and less beautiful builds, (everyone has their own taste with build pallet), defeat the enderdragon, etc. But the most important thing is that we can play minecraft and share our stories and show our worlds and builds. And that makes minecrafts minecraft.

[@Hypnostedon]

Java sucks. Can't wait to delete it

[@CraftyMasterman]

This just sounds like turning bedrock into java as much as possible till it becomes indistinguishable rather than cancelling java. Your main argument is that Mojang is just adding things that have been around in java for years like all the "creator tools" you mentioned. Bedrock is just playing catch up in terms of features it seems 😛

[@wolfbad512]

Exactly they are replacing java because bedrock is more mainstream and profitable

[@southestst]

the thing with bedrock is that it’s so profitable due to all the microtransactions, so even when it does became almost the same as java a lot of stuff that we take for granted like the mods could possibly be monetized

[@auger8451]

Agreed. If more people has access to a pc, it would tell a diff story. Since every household has a game system, phone, or tablet, bedrock is more popular. BR in my personal experience is sad and buggy, so the only intelligent way to move forward would be to push bedrock toward java.

[@mrekozack7817]

@@wolfbad512 "more main stream and profitable" yeah no, I dont recall seeing that much people excited for bedrock than java. As a formal bedrock player, Im glad Im out of that phase.

[@SauI_Goodman]

@@wolfbad512 Java is free marketing for Microsoft. Every great KZbin series, every impressive redstone contraption and nearly every important community member plays the Java edition. This edition is what drives Minecraft sales. Bedrock Edition sales are not due to the game being superior (it is not), but due to it's availability. People want to play it everywhere and that is what Bedrock provides. Now where does all the hype come from? It's from the people creating amazing content with Java.

[@Rocketcraft]

Yes, it’s extremely frustrating not being able to access the vanilla code for bedrock as a casual coder. I’m sure the developers of some marketplace addons have the capability to see it though.

[@unlikepaladin]

@@Rocketcraft they actually have access to dev builds for every platform except iOS, even including Switch and like PS4/PS5. But yeah sadly Bedrock will never be as mod-able as Java is, it's just not possible because of the language difference. If Bedrock were C# it might be a different story though.

[@AbyssalSoda]

They are probably working on some way to monetize the entire system so if you want to play a mod ya gonna have to pay up.

[@KaboukiJoe]

Bedrock, while running generally smoother, still feels much less "tight", with things like taking damage when flying, if you even touch the ceiling, instant suffocating. Torches and candles not animating as nicely/ consistently. Door, chests, etc, sound effects are "lighter", Java sounds are more deep and rich, which is a strange one. Bedrock Goat horn sounds don't carry like in Java.. etc..

[@crazyitalianguy000]

If that's your only problem then you can fix it by installing an addon wich makes the game similar to java.

[@KaboukiJoe]

@@crazyitalianguy000 I'm just playing on Java again for now. I'm still hoping Bedrock will improve with future updates, maybe the ability to take advantage of higher end devices, then it would be king.

[@VictimKittens]

I find the ignorance and him blatantly ignoring one of the biggest things about bedrock and modding to be quite funny. Unless mojang (or better put, Microsoft) plans on shutting down the community market, then Java will be around potentially past bedrock. The community market is the way you get mods in bedrock, there's no other way without using a computer to mod the game files, which at that point, why not just mod Java? a simple process made even simpler by just downloading a launcher like forge or fabric. The reason why this will most definitely be chosen over the minecraft community market is in the name itself, market. Minecoins have been a major controversial change to minecraft since they were first added to bedrock, especially since they are the only way to get skin packs, texture packs, mods, etc. While on Java, all of that is free, mods, texture packs, skins, all free. Unless the community market is removed, or made free for all to download whatever they please, then no, Java will not die in the slightest. And that's not even talking about legacy attachment, why would people stop playing Java when it's the MAIN version of Minecraft, the one that receives updates and snapshots FIRST before any other version, and if that were to suddenly change, they would be uproar in the community. Sorry dude, but your conspiracy for Java dying simply does not add up, parity be damned.

[@cynthiahoward876]

As a Bedrock player (and just to play devil’s advocate), I would like to point out that two of the highlighted features, Ray Tracing and the new world edit, are Windows PC specific features. These features are not available across all Bedrock devices. As long as Bedrock remains fragmented over the various platforms (Windows PC, mobile, console) with some features available on one device and not another, there will always be room for the original Java and the players that prefer it. Not to mention the mods on Java (which are their own extremely robust ecosystem) are generally free while on Bedrock all supported mods are pushed through the marketplace. I, personally, would not want to move to a platform where I would have to buy all the mods I wanted to use when I was already using them for free. Java going the way of the dodo is certainly not impossible and it certainly would be years down the road, but looking at the situation today, I just can’t see Java disappearing.

[@execat.1342]

Actually not all mods, or should I say add-ons, are forced through micro transactions. There are many websites such as mcpedl that offers free stuff.

Java is faster with redstone, a mcbe piston takes 4 game ticks to retract but in Java it’s 2 game ticks, also shaders(not Rtx) is discontinued on bedrock

[@ToxicTerror86]

As a player of both Java and Bedrock it would be good I think if Mojang consolidated their efforts into one version as that would allow them to make new content and better updates for us. That being said it's still a lil bittersweet.

[@CZghost]

I think the biggest issue of Minecraft Bedrock Edition is that it can't be played on Linux and Mac (not counting previous and long dead or soon to be dead versions of Windows, prior to Win10). The reason is that Bedrock Edition is very firmly tied to Xbox platform, which is owned by Microsoft, and Linux and Mac don't have that platform, unlike Windows 10 and 11. So if Mojang was to discontinue Java Edition, they would somehow have to make Bedrock Edition available also on Linux and Mac, with Xbox platform to enable cross-play of course. Because discontinuing Java Edition without making Bedrock Edition available on Linux and Mac would cut out significant chunk of player base that play on those platforms. Yes, Bedrock Edition has more players, that's given by popularity of Windows 10 and 11 and popularity of Xbox and Playstation gaming consoles. But there are also a lot of players that play on Linux or Mac, which is supported only by Java Edition (because Java Edition runs on - well - Java, which runs on Windows, Mac and Linux).

Java has free skins that people can customize personally And i doubt mojang is willing to get rid of microtransactions

[@rebeccaharbison1742]

I mean, one of my major concerns is that my computer is a Mac, and non-Windows computers are a platform where it's Java or nothing. I play Bedrock with friends by using a Windows partition, but I've noticed it's hard to just pick up and play a game when I have to restart my computer's OS before and after. It works for a social occasion, but not for just casual 'let's work on a build'. So my single-player worlds are all in Java. I'd take a version of Minecraft Bedrock for MacOS, but I'd be disappointed if Minecraft players with MacOS or Linux were left hanging in the wind. (Like, even if modders were maintaining updates, it's still annoying that my computer platform of choice is often an afterthought to developers outside of niche appeal.)

[@RobertFisher1969]

I suspect Java edition will end up open sourced. Java decompilers mean that in some practical regards, it already is. Existing open source competition has shown that Mojang has little to fear from an open source Minecraft. And it will provide a defense against complaints of them discontinuing it. I suspect that once Java edition is discontinued the differences between it and Bedrock will only increase, as anyone willing to spend the time adding any new features to it won’t be able to resist the temptation to do things “better” (i.e. differently) than Mojang.

Java won't die out because if that's the case, then so will bedrock too. Don't get me wrong, I'm a mobile player. If the reason as to why Java would get less and less players over the years is because of parity, then the most logical concept would be the two platforms merging into one. No Bedrock, no Java, just Minecraft. Maybe it would become Minecraft: Universal.

[@chandrahasreddy1729]

Yea this one will be awesome

[@alnimri]

*A large point that is overlooked is having to transfer/edit world chunks.* It is doubtful many will switch from their decade old survival/creative worlds so they need to optimize converting them (including entities such as chests and mobs) in addition to the ability to edit chunks (to clear space for the save data and so it reset generation for fewer updates). The things so far have only been achieved via third party tools yet are necessary for Java or players who actively switch between both versions.

[@tacolength]

Thats implying Mojang could develop the modding api, they can barely handle bundles and that random falling death bug that's plagued bedrock for literal years.

[@TonyFrHost]

Everything he says is fake, the Java version will always exist. And the biggest lie he tells is that there are more bedrock players than Java players. This is because everyone who has the PC version actually has both versions, so there is more bedrock account than Java accounts. But basically more Java account was bought as a bedrock account, and he does not mention that. If Java were over, then you would have to close the seat in Stockholm and Mojang doesn't participate. Due to the Java version, they no longer make a profit, we know that, but many play the Java version, because of the greatest difference. The mods, the faster Redstone and Datapacks as well as the commands. We do not want to pay money, we want to create it ourselves, and the bedrock version never offer that.

[@mkime1203]

I honestly think that if java dies then so does the entirety of Minecraft for me. The marketplace on bedrock alone is what turns me off from the version entirely. Why would I pay for something that has a probably better version available through a mod or map for free on java. Mojang removing java support, while likely, will probably be the biggest mistake they'll ever make.

Over the past two years, I'd started playing minecraft a lot more with my friends. We started out on bedrock since they all had xbox's and I was one of two that had a PC. But, as most of us got PC's we started on java. That was all just to say I've pretty much always been a java player, that's what I started out on when I was younger after Pocket Edition. I think the main differences between Java and Bedrock, and the problems that may exist in merging, is that they are coded in two different languages which behave the exact same. A good example of this would be quazzy connectivity, 0-tick pulses, and other technical things. I don't think, and really hope Java doesn't end up being discontinued because of the mechanics and play style. Like others have said, there will be a major backlash from the community, especially those who play on Mac, are into the technical/redstone side, plus Java is just quicker in general. Yes it does take longer to load, but that's with any game, and I'd take Java's quick input response time over Bedrock's crossplay.

If they ever did shutdown Java Edition, it would not happen because Bedrock Edition will have more tools. No, it will happen because they want to close every door to free modding and the money that the modders are making from modding in Java Edition without Microsoft or Mojang getting anything. I doubt Mojang or Microsoft would really try to put out cinemactic tools because they already make so much $ from their child baiting marketplace and pay to win servers that get advertised. Imagine if Roblox had two version, the first version is what Roblox is right now (a total scam and children baiting game), and the second version is what Java is right now. Everything is free unless the skin makers make you pay to buy their artwork. Microsoft wants everybody on the one that they control and get monitization from. It's likely that will be the reason they shutdown. Not because it's getting more tools and developers and content creators want those tools and future advanced modding. You are just wrong bro

[@cannedsoup4622]

YT seriously recommended me this on April 1st 💀💀

[@ninjanoodle2674]

5:23 - I think that this point alone (that Java Modders will be able to keep updating Java Edition to emulate future Mojang updates) would be reason alone that Java Edition will never really die out if Mojang ever decides to discontinue it. In all honesty, Java Edition Modders are already key to keeping it alive with things like Optifine, Paper, Bukkit, Spigot, Sodium, Phosphor, Dynamic FPS, and other performance enhancing/fixing mods and server plug-ins that keep the game playable and running at an acceptable FPS. On a different note, while I agree with the premise that Mojang/Microsoft may one day discontinue support for Java Edition, I don't think that this will be happening any time son. The biggest issue is that the main development minds that are driving the development process are all mainly Java Edition players and are much more familiar with how the Java Edition game works. All of the people that we know of as developers (Jeb, Agnes, Kingbdogz, Ulraf, Cory, Dinnerbone, Grumm, gnembon, Slicedlime, etc.) are all part of the Java team. Mojang would have to do a lot of work in developing new talent to compliment this group of people, but to have them designing new content in C++/Bedrock Edition codebase rather than developing in Java and then porting things over to Bedrock. Java Edition isn't going anywhere as long as the people driving the ship are Java players.

You forget that, even with all those performance mods, bedrock still runs much faster and smoother. At some point people won't be able to tell the difference between the two, they'll just know that both have lots of cool mods, but bedrock has much better performance. There won't be much incentive to mod Java when most of the player base has already left.

That's really if Mojang allows them to since it's their own property it wouldn't make sense to let ppl give it out for free

@Coccocoa Helper input delay has nothing to do with C++ versus Java programming, whereas performance does. Mojang already knows they have to improve Bedrock more, that's the whole point of the video to begin with. You're just pointing out another thing that can be fixed in an update.

[@HurricaneGabby]

@Coccocoa Helper then 5-10 years in the future you'll be in the small minority of people playing Java on ancient hardware. You're not saying anything that takes away from the premise. Bedrock runs smooth as butter on my phone, maybe you should start thinking about upgrading your computer?

[@cadeeja.]

Weirdly enough I think, contrary to you, they are implementing things into Bedrock to make it more popular. With Java there is a lot of freedom, being able to code and use so many mods, whereas Bedrock is kind of limited. I kind of think of Bedrock as being comparable with Apple and Java being the Android version. As always, it is a matter of taste and skills. :) I do not think that any version will be erased but rather both will merge into one for all.

[@seniorbob6070]

They can't merge, theyre two different code bases, ill tell you what will happen, there will still be java and bedrock editions that you can play and they both will continue to receive updates.

Their biggest mistake in all of this was to have different Minecraft versions to begin with. Running different versions besides splitting the community also splits developer resources. Expectations from both are different. And I don't see them abandoning one for the other, it would create far too much backlash on either side. They did a mistake in running a split version game variant and that is what they will be end up maintaining. And i'm pretty sure if they give up Java modders will not, it's just a whole development platform they won't be giving that up.

[@jackcook9005]

You have made some good points, however there is one thing you failed to account for, the 1.19.1 update aka 1.19.84, the infamous player chat report feature. This may be wishful thinking on my part but given all thw controversy it caused and the fact that the no chat report mods were quickly developed to counter them a lot of people with a general distaste for this feature are running this mod on thier servers even if they would otherwise be vanilla. On java the most that can happen is that you lose multiplayer access, however on xbox and perhaps on bedrock as a whole you can lose singleplayer functionality as well. Since all the mods have to go through the marketplace it seems unlikely that Microsoft will allow such a mod to be host there. Meaning that despite thier best efforts, java will persist due to the comfort this mod brings. There's also the fact that there a few other major points that have especially kept me personally from switching, those being the marketplace and the microtransactions it introduces, the lack of QC and nondeterministic redstone. I feel like if bedrock is to have any chance at killing java it will need to correct these things

[@dinglenut9405]

Now I'm gonna make a mod showcase with replay 💀💀

[@designconker4796]

If they fix redstone in bedrock and make it feel more “fluid” like java. Then I would play bedrock. But if they can’t get redstone to work like java then java will never die.

[@StephanieMedford]

My biggest issues with Bedrock is that the chunk issues with redstone machines and the fact that I can set a work block for a villager in their face and they will still go after a workstation 30 blocks away

[@izzida4661]

I really hope marketplace is coming to java so we can support mod creator on java and getting feature directly from mojang

[@RedStone576]

yeah no, marketplace is too corrupted to exist for the java community

[@nett_the_tree]

[Edit: I forgot about how Bedrock may be superior in terms of visual performance, but also has a lot of bugs at times, and censorship is a little over the top, even for singleplayer worlds. And there might be more I haven't thought about too.] I don't think Minecraft Java will literally be removed ever from Mojang, but more so Java will be forgotten. Java Edition at some point could become the new Minecraft Beta of nostalgia, where occasionally people will play it, but everyone will be on Bedrock. I know people hate it at first because of the Marketplace on there, but you have to remember that: A. You don't have to buy anything from there if you don't want to. There are other ways of downloading downloading maps and addons without paying for them and... B. When you do pay for Marketplace content, some of the money goes to the creator and not just Mojang, or Microsoft. So you could actually make your own maps, texture packs, or skinpacks, become a Marketplace partner, and make it into a job or a side job.

[@jamzqool]

marketplace is just a small reason why java youtubers won't move to bedrock

[@BanDit49_]

It's not only the marketplace that makes bedrock a shitty experience tho

[@mazda9624]

Mojang has a multitude of *major* fixes they need to implement into Bedrock if they want to shut down Java.

[@Thorinox]

Before the can even consider killing off Java without major backlash, they will need to fix a few issues that rarely happen in Java. And mind you, the one and only reason why there is more player base on Bedrock to Java, is the fact that Java is only coded for PC, all the while Bedrock is coded for a multitude of platforms, from phones and tablets, to gaming consoles, and PC as well. As for Bedrock issues, number one thing that is needed to be fixed is the lag spikes. I don't care what people say, it is a massive issues between ALL platforms that is has bad lag spikes. Even for me, who is playing on a $9k PC will still run into lag spikes from time to time. The random times you will get hurt for no reason is another big issue. And as you said, the modding community is huge on Java compared to Bedrock. They will also need to make it where people can share their work for free as well, if the creators want to, which is one of the biggest things I hate about Bedrock, there is as of now, only 13 free downloads on the Market compared to the literal thousands on Java.

[@Ozzynl111]

If Mojang wants me on Bedrock then these things need to change for me. Shades like BSL shades needs to get added in Bedrock. Not all of us have the money for a RTX card. Iron golem spawning should be more a kind to Java. So that a iron farm does not need about 20 Villagers to get going,but you only need three. Also Redstone needs to be fully on par with Java. And a F3 screen needs to be added.

[@Rocketcraft]

F3 is a crutch and considered cheating by Jeb, it’s not coming to bedrock natively. Possible via addons though. I can’t see why they would add an unintended glitch to bedrock like quasi connectivity either, the redstone on bedrock isn’t perfect by any means. But I can’t see it getting changed drastically like that. And iron farms on java are too ridiculously easy to set up. The effort/payoff ratio is way off. Bedrock farms usually always require more effort making it seem like bedrock is the more challenging version to play on. If you like things easy then stick to java

[@broski7792]

This would be my preferred way out. If they can genuinely improve bedrock to the point where i will prefer it over java, then I'll switch. However transferring my world would suck because there's no way they're gonna make java redstone compatible while satisfying all players

[@scorpmajors1864]

I am a bedrock player and love redstone. A little while ago I was watching some of the stuff that Mumbo has done and I am sooo jealous of the java redstone capabilities. None-the-less, I stay on bedrock as that is where my friends are. I think this is how its going to go for most redstoners.

[@kingdedede1674]

as a bedrock, java, beta. and xbox 360 player, i have a feeling bedrock won't outgrown java (due to experience i've had with bedrock console and PC) there are (at the moment) far to many bugs for a large mass of players to switch to bedrock, while the points you've made are good, but bedrock will need far more work then mentioned in this video

[@kablard]

Wait you play Bedrock on 360?

[@TheAbyssalEnderling]

I mainly use Java to build locations for Minecraft animations. Bedrock worlds can't be imported directly to Mine-Imator, so I have to use Java Edition for this type of stuff. Either that or I convert the world over.

I stay with java because of the redstone inconveniences with bedrock. I need to know my builds will function properly.

[@usmanahmed-zq2ld]

I’m pretty sure they are gonna remove a edition because I don’t think they would remove the main version of Minecraft I think bedrock will die and console players will be able to have java edition but with no mods

[@Shardcives]

You forgot to explain why people would rather pay for mods that java players get for free. Speaking from a Bedrock player who switched to Java, the game feels nicer in Java plus its nostalgic being the original version/language of the game. I've played every platform of Minecraft exept for VR, and No offense but I would much rather get mods for free plus that nostalgia instead of paying for them, whether or not I have to make said mod myself. I also understand not everybody wants to make mods, me personally I have coded my own small games and such so I am more comfortable than most.

[@disabledarms624]

As a bedrock and Java player, Java runs better than Bedrock does if there are more building in your world. Bedrock also doesn't feel great on PC.

[@groveri2]

java edition title in-game used to not have the little "java edition" under it but now it does the exact opposite for bedrock...

[@epicsubset]

I think your wrong.. about who will shut down Java.. it will be Microsoft. Bedrock is a cash cow Microsoft has always wanted with the marketplace (Micro transactions) and when they shut down development.. most Java players will still stay on Java.. because the mod'ers are putting out way better content then mohjang. So keep enjoying your Bedrock Vanilla.. and will keep loving the mod'ing community with Java.

[@beanswater]

I think the biggest reason for having 2 versions is the quasi connectivity of redstone. I get why bedrock doesn't have it, since it's originally a bug and it doesn't really make sense gameplay-wise but Java players love it and would riot if Mojang removed it.

[@RockyBlocky6130]

I play both...Bedrock isn't anywhere near up to scratch. Especially bugreporting and fixing is dramatic. It takes ages. Silent can do an entire show on bugs that somehow can't or won't be fixed. All major content creators are Java. Just Mumbo has more of an audience than Prowl and Silent combined. It'be weird to kill your flagship. Basically I couldn't disagree more on this. I think it's going to happen for sure. But Bedrock is just not cutting it right now and won't be in the foreseable future... parity issues only pile up... support for the community via bugreporting and feedback sites are lacking, RTX seems to be a dead project for there hasn't been any development since mid 2019 (Hallad did a video on that). I just don't know where to start. If Bedrock has to become the main and only version of Minecraft we are left with the "work in progress" software Microsoft is known for filled with bugs that'll "definitely be fixed" in the next paid-for release.

[@Jake-ef7nj]

Minecraft Java Edition has the largest server, modding, content creators, community, and nostalgic history since it's inception I don't think mojang honestly wants to give Java some of the veterans players would be upset over this even if bedrock manages to reach the height of Java cause of the memories and friends and childhoods that build around it.

[@snowy320]

We had the ability to mod console but mojang took that away through mc addons which made the process easier but afterwards there was a 2 year debate with the creators of the app and mojang decided to shelve it

[@KumaStarOP]

This was the most catchiest video of you Lol i actually jumped right in looking at the title 💀✨

[@IcedFriend]

If this does happen, we all know that they will make a subscription for mods.

[@usmanahmed-zq2ld]

I’d say they should remove bedrock and bring back console Legacy edition and update to 1.19

[@flamepixel10]

wut about hypixel? i literraly just switched to java for that

[@Cgates642]

I ultimately believe it will be up to the content creators to get people to believe bedrock is a better platform. They listen to them more than I believe most realize. Java will be around as long as major content creators are making the content.

[@jwalster9412]

I play bedrock. I'm just too used to playing on a PlayStation controller, as that's what I did and have been doing since i first played Minecraft. Bedrock has too much priority set on profit, unlike the classic console editions, where they were robust and super stable. I have had many issues with the "flushed out" (a.k.a make it look pretty and release unstable updates) bedrock edition. The lighting system is terrible. I've always hated the transparent slabs, and how the lighting *literally never matches the full blocks around them* and the stairs don't match either. But what I hate even more is the store front. It ruins the front page of the menu. You boot up the game, only to be greeted with some thrown together abomination of Minecraft and movie characters. How did it take them a month to add shorter sneaking and another month to add crawling?

first: minecraft java not gonna go anywhere but, mojang will ignore java edition and update bedrock second: if anything happend and java edition got canceled, i think its time to try something different like hytale, or not , its your decision third: real minecraft is java minecraft not bedrock, bedrock is the recreation of java minecraft with C++ dont forget: bad entity animations and movement bad skeleton AI bad health regeneration nightmare wither (you cant even get close to it let alone killing it) everything is slow no F3 menu bad redstone (if they fixed these issues it would be awsome)

[@MonitorLizardGaming]

Excuse me? You do realize that the community will bomb Mojang HQ if they threaten Java edition?

[@Syrupandwaffles]

Im a bedrock player butI never want to see Java, the original version, die.

[@ThisCatLikesCrypto]

i think that they will have to spin off mobile from bedrock first since it is really holding bedrock back but have a world transfer tool so you can put your mobile worlds on console/pc

[@bibekdas7449]

Why? I swear if JAVA edition is shut down! Why MOJANG why? JAVA is way better than bedrock to some extent. I see, so they are monopolizing Minecraft so that only the money making thing survives! Please don't let JAVA die!

[@MoranMatthew01]

Redstone is one of its greatest hurdles. They have to be near parody for the switch to happen for a lot of people.

[@Rocketcraft]

For a time there was quasi connectivity in bedrock near when it first launched. But they decided to remove it as it wasn’t originally an intended feature for java either (just like the nether roof). So we know that bedrock has the capability to do it, the devs just don’t want it in bedrock, which I’m fine with.

[@TheAssassin000]

its impossible for them to implement full parity between the 2 versions, and honestly that will drive away many people including me. Minecraft mods and datapacks have a big player base with over 100M people and since they are .jar folders, won't run on bedrock and will make minecraft lose players

[@adamgeigerjr6995]

Honestly the only thing 2 things I want from Java are: 1) Shaders 2) Camera/Capture That's literally it. Bedrock reigns superior elsewhere imo.

[@geoffreycarr83]

well not quite, Minecraft bedrock doesnt allow you to build on the nether roof, that setting makes minecraft buggy/glitchy when you get on the roof, and bedrock servers are good but not as good as java servers, Java reigns Superior

[@Rocketcraft]

Building on the nether roof was never an intended feature for java, hence why it’s not coming to bedrock. But I’m fine with that, it’s always felt a bit cheaty to me to be able to bypass all of the danger in the nether but to also skip the grind of spawn proofing large areas for certain mob farms.

[@cralo2569]

don't ignore the massive modding scene on java... it's a powerful force.

[@xxxavaiierthecrystalshadow3059]

PLEASE KNOW THIS COMMENT IS NOT HATE! ============== Reasons why this won't happen: 1. Java is the most popular version on minecraft. It is supported by thousands and possibly even millions of mods and youtubers. 2. Players will never shut down Java. There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of players that are currently on bedrock, and would like to switch to Java. 3. For the update situation, I think minecraft was originally a PC game, and there are many bugs in bedrock, meaning there will be more updates. If minecraft was originally a PC game, then it is a possibility bedrock is the test version. (That explains education edition, addons, texture packs, minecoins, etc) 3. For the mod situation, it's much easier for PC players to mod minecraft than it is bedrock. For console, you have to make it much simpler due to the fact that coding and accessing files can be extremely difficult, if not impossible, on console. 4. They would never shut down a version that would make half the player base rage, quit minecraft entirely, hate the game so much the player base would just make the game go to wreck, or just backlash the game developers until they are forced to bring it back. This would put so much stress on mojang that they would probably just shut down the game or ignore thousands or millions of players just to continue updating 2 versions(bedrock and PE). CONCLUSION ============ Don't worry, everyone! Java is not being taken down. But if my entire theory is wrong, then you better get used to using a controller and playing on a big screen.

[@Ham8one001]

The only thing I want as a bedrock player is better modding capabilities. We don't have things like custom dimensions and can't modify custom block mining speed for if you are holding a pickaxe or not. I hope they at least get close to replicating java.

[@AquaQuokka]

Bedrock is made in a programming language called C++, which is a low-level programming language, so you need to know a lot about hardware and software to use it. It is also very difficult to read if there's a lot of it. Java edition is made in Java, which is a high-level programming language. Java is a lot easier to use than C++, so therefore Java edition will always have better modding capibilities.

[@SuperLlama88888]

I think that MCBE is not polished enough. There will always be people who won't like the unreliability, glitchiness and general unpolished state of Bedrock Edition. If Mojang/Microsoft wants to completely migrate their playerbase to Bedrock, they'll have to fix it up first.

[@Rocketcraft]

Java is by no means perfect either 😉

[@mrekozack7817]

@@Rocketcraft even if its not perfect, they're just simply superior 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SilicatYT]

You have some good points, though I think there are some more aspects that you didn't mention in your video (Servers and plugin capabilities, technical players and datapack makers to name a few), but I don't know how much that actually weighs in the grand scheme of things. As someone who draws most of my enjoyment in Minecraft from making Datapacks for Java, I'd feel pretty sad if it stops getting supported, due to Bedrock's command capabilities being insanely limited compared to it. To me, that would basically mean the death of Minecraft as I know it. I really hope it won't happen, or that they at least support Bedrock commands to be on a similar level to Java if it does happen.

[@NathonHay]

@SilicatYT, I've been noticing the commands are getting updated, like the execute a few months ago to the new way to specify block states that just happened. Are these changes anything close to what is needed for Java parity?

its kinda wonky how bedrock is basically neglected compared to java atm. bedrock has so many bugs and problems due to development neglect, so i really dont think java will be dying, and bedrock is at a higher risk of dying community-wise. i think theyre trying to pull in money through bedrock's marketplace/ servers and pour a majority of their resources into java. if my brain is working right, anyway. The average player will play on bedrock but content creation will be on java.

[@Prowl8413]

Sort of... but I'll elaborate at a later date

[@MrMattRanger]

@@Prowl8413 While I semi agree that mojang is pushing hard to get Java players to switch I think RTX is the prime example of what you said about java players switching on their own is pretty false and unfounded. You can’t just make bedrock the same to get java players to switch you have to make it BETTER! Also you mentioned that replay mod is just automatically going to be better on bedrock without even seeing it.

[@Prowl8413]

@MrMattRanger it will likely be better because it will both be easier to use due to Mojangs easy to manipulate UI elements, and the ease in which add-on creators can make their own replay mods. You'll likely have several different itterations of replay with many different features, vs Java only having 1 replay mod... to which the community had to literally pay the maker big money just to convince him to keep updating it.

[@MrMattRanger]

@@Prowl8413 I believe when I see I guess. I have little faith in mojang which is why I prefer java because everything is made by nodders instead of mojang! I remember how they removed all bedrock shader ability when they added RTX stuff like that just makes me highly skeptical!
