So, as an adult who plays Minecraft, with adult friends who have kids who ask for Minecraft, i get asked about the differences all the time. Here's what i say: 1) the most important difference is that the two aren't compatible with each other, and it's fun to play with friends. So figure out which edition your kids' friends play, and get that one. (1a) Also, if you want to use hardware that isn't a generic computer, like a Nintendo or xbox, you want Bedrock.) 2) the Bedrock edition is monetized, but is actually the one that's more playable without outside resources. If you want to find a village in Java, you look up your seed on chunkbase. If you want to find a village in Bedrock, you can climb a hill and look around. That larger render distance isn't just about how it looks, it seriously affects gameplay. If you want to find a stronghold in Java, you can throw eyes of ender around, and get frustrated, or you can load up chunkbase. If you want to find a stronghold on bedrock, you can just dig down from a couple of villages. Bedrock is just easier to find key stuff in. 3) (was 4) Java is more flexible. You can use commands, swap easily between peaceful and hard and creative and spectator, etc. But the interface in Bedrock is more intuitive. You don't need to learn commands, you can just set some obvious toggles when you create the world. 4) Redstone works better in Java. More objectively, all the major redstone work has been done in Java, and if you want to get into redstone, you should play Java. 5) Combat is really different. I don't play a combat oriented game, so this means nearly nothing to me. But i guess Bedrock favors a young kid spamming buttons and Java penalizes that.

but mods are free on Java aside from having to learn how to use third party extensions like Modrinth or CurseForge, and you dont die to random acts of God unlike Bedrock

One thing listed but you didn't go over was controller support. While it's true Java doesn't have native controller support there are work arounds for that. If you're using Curseforge then you need to add the "Controllable" mod. If you're using the Fabric loader then you need to add the "Midnight Controls" mod. Both mods basically do what WASD does as well as the right and left mouse buttons. Yes you still have to use the keyboard for things like Ultimine (~), backpacks (b) and maps (m or j) and maybe one or two other things. I would say over 95 percent of my game play is done with the controller. So far I've played Better Minecraft 1.16 and 1.19, ATM8 and ATM9 as well as Crazy Craft Updated all with a controller. I should note that I'm an old fart (67) who started playing video games in 1987 with the NES and I'm NOT giving up my controller.

The whole "Bedrock is unplayable because of bugs" argument is very exaggerated, and the only people I've ever seen complaining about Bedrock's bugs (Apart from the above mentioned Loading screen death) are people who have never played Bedrock, so forgive me if I'm skeptical about how accurate those arguments are.

I have been playing bedrock since the switch from console version and been playing java since it was in a browser. The argument that the bedrock experience is such a downgrade in quality from java has never had merit, it's just java fanpeople being bullies.

Minecraft is like Pokémon. There's 2 versions with a couple of differences, but the average player won't really notice or care. The average Pokémon player will just play for the story and then quit. The average MC player will boot up a world, go caving, get blown up by a few creepers, build a house, and then quit or start a new world. Maybe dabble in the Nether or go to the End and fight a dragon, but not likely. You can have that experience just the same in either version. It's only when you go a step further or get into niches that you really start to notice. Red and Blue have version exclusives but you'd really only notice if you're catching them all. Red I think is technically better for speedruns as well. To the Minecraft equivalent, that'd be matters like redstone and farms. Combat if you're playing PvP. To the average player, you won't notice a difference between the two versions. (If you're watching this video, you're probably not the average player, so things look different to us)

Does Bedrock even have fully customizable skins? I've always played Java, and it wont stop being my go-to version of the game, in large part because the simple presence of the marketplace feels like an encroachment on the "purity", for lack of a better word, of this game, and I think skins are an easy example of that. I remember trying out the Switch version and getting stuck trying to put together a halfway decent looking skin from the few free options the game offered, while being bombarded with hundreds of different paid skin packs when for years I've been used to running around in my own skin that I created myself, pixel by pixel, using some combination of free online tools, MS Paint and Gimp. And even if you dont want to go through the trouble of creating your own skin, there are websites out there with databases with millions of different skins to choose from for Java, and all it takes is downloading a simple, tiny png file. I'm one of those people who will just spend an hour or two (three, four?) in character creation whenever I start up a new game for the first time. Custom skins may seem like a small detail, but theyre a pretty key element of creative self expression in a game thats supposed to be all about precisely that. So if I'm supposed to pick between two versions of the game, I'm picking the one that doesnt take away a key feature of the whole experience.

[@Sijnenpru]

Yes it does.

[@tippedjoshua6802]

On pc and mobile there’s fully customizable skins. So it’s less of a problem between Java and Bedrock and is instead the problem between pc and console versions. I feel like it wouldn’t be that hard to just make it so you could just transfer skins from one version of bedrock to another.

[@justsomerandomgamer6736]

Yes but only on pc/mobile Adding external servers, importing mods (without marketplace) are also only available on pc/mobile…but also consoles are…not known to be easily moddable, there is no way to brows the web (except for Xbox) for a skin or to view the filesystem to import stuff

They also force players to use Minecraft Microtransaction Edition in order to get some capes and to participate in some huge official events. It is a game with infinite possibilities, and only the developers can kill it.

[@andrewnichols8472]

The part where he says "The better version for map making sadly is java edition..." really caught me off guard since at least to me that statement sounded very biased in a video that touches on mojang's blatant bias in the exclusive feature comparison list

[@Tasteful_Edits]

They're just trying to kill off Java, but not directly as people would not like that, just indirectly.

[@Satwr]

I always laugh when i hear ppl debating over what makes Bedrock superior over Java... and im just Sitting there singing "Mods, Mods, Mods tra la la la laa"... Mods are a core part of the Game without them allot of things and ppl would not be there where they are today... most of the well known ppl at Mojang where Modders before, Mods brought new ideas that got added to the base game (Pistons for example)... For like 99% of Bedrock exclusive Feature there is some Mod, Datapack, Plugin or Resourcepack out there even for things like HWRT (or "RTX" if you wanna hear Nvidias Marketing term that is NOT describing any technology), also Cross play between Bedrock and Java (GeyserMC/Floodgate Plugin) then there are Performance Mods that show Java can perform 1000x better in every single aspect then Bedrock... so if ppl wanna Compare, do it with mods bc they are a part of the game

[@Mondayz408]

Eh, people have their own preferences, if you wanna play java then play java, if you wanna play bedrock then play bedrock, i essentially play bedrock because of it's rising potential right now.

Is there any way to put all my worlds on one device? I have old worlds from when I first started playing Minecraft on an iPad, as well as a second iPad, an old Xbox, and my current Xbox. How can I get all these different worlds on one device? Yes, they are all on the same Microsoft account.

[@ducksongfans]

I also have tons of Minecraft world on an I pad, I still have Minecraft bedrock 1.2.6 on it I'm pretty sure cause I never updated, but unfortunately Apple won't let us access the files

[@mineland8220]

The most reasonable answer would be to transfer each device's worlds into a computer and then convert them into the version you want to use. The process is different for each one, so you will have to search up how for them, but the gist is that you copy the world folder somewhere else. Then you could open them in bedrock for the case of the iPad worlds and if the old Xbox is Legacy Console Edition then you'll have to convert it, or convert all of them to java if that's what you're playing. Its up to you

[@sacrificiallamb4568]

Realms is the official way to transfer Bedrock Worlds across platforms. Then on Windows, Bedrock has an Export World button, or Download World. So you could do it that way, then put them all on a storage device.

[@miimiiandco]

Officially, there's Realms. On mobile, there is also a texture pack that re-adds the "Export World" button that the Windows 10 Edition has.

[@HannABXY.]

Was a Bedrock player for years because I didn't have a computer powerful enough to play Java, so all I had was my kindle, and eventually a Switch. Last year, I had finally gotten good enough parts in my budget art PC for Java to run good enough so I decided to switch over. All of this to say that the main thing that bugged me personally that feels like a no brainer to advertise that isn't here is that Java doesn't have official controller support, while Bedrock will let you use either controller or keyboard by default. I'm mainly a Java player now, who will sometimes still play Bedrock on Switch and honestly prefer keyboard after getting used to it, but for some people, having to mod the game for controller support could be a deal breaker.

[@craftihlow69]

6:42 I can versionswitch Bedrock with a launcher on Linux where it isnt even supposed to exist. Guess Microsoft has a reason not to offer that then.

[@robertbaeker9345]

Essence of this video, ibxtoycat hates Java, push everyone to Bedrock. I think it’s not a very unbiased opinion video, and its kind of disappointing that around every corner of saying that "Java can do this", there’s a "unfortunately it’s sad Java doesn't do this very well. but Bedrock is the best". Pretty poor way to structure an apparent TRUTH video.

[@tuckertechnolord6126]

I’m surprised this doesn’t mention datapacks, that’s a hugely important feature for me. Just the ability to change stuff, even minor stuff, with a couple json files is amazing, and it’s getting more and more support all the time(advancements are data driven now for example). Eventually I think everything a simple mod could do(see the 5 million mcreator extra armor set mods) will be datapacks, and mods will only need to be for the big things, like mekanism, that fully require custom apis to work

[@brianharshman]

Great video and i think the best part may be Toycat twerking on the shrieker, haha! Thanks for a solid laugh today! Also, Toycat is yes and Big Salmon Edition all the way

played bedrock on my xbox for a year or 2 always liked java better liked the mods on java the one thing i liked about bedrock was i could play with my friends without a server host but i also have been playing for almost 10 years

[@codeexze3713]

😅 it's still counted as a server when the person who started up the world leaves everyone is kicked out of the world Realms is useless you have to pay for it

Love seeing my world as background gameplay! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

[@Xll1llX]

you'd need to do a lot to convince me that java isn't superior

[@tippedjoshua6802]

The only thing I can think of is cross play and better performance Still Java just feels much better to play, like Bedrock feels delayed in some way.

[@Llamu]

@@tippedjoshua6802 thing is you can optimise java and actually get it on par/superior to bedrocks performance. Plus geysermc exists so technically there is cross play. Either way all pc players have both games now anyway so if I want to play with some bedrock players I can if I want to, but if I want to play on my own or with java players and on servers then I can play java

[@Zejoant]

​@@tippedjoshua6802its also easier to play with friends since you can make your world a server with a click. But apart form that idk anything else.

[@coolcrazyguyer]

Tbh java is better but simply because of crossplay and easier online multiplayer, bedrock is better for playing with friends and java isn't that far better, you have to acknowledge both minecraft bedrock and java are both minecraft and should be treated as so.

[@coolcrazyguyer]

​@@Llamu yes but bedrock optimizations are built in

[@josephdabunny]

I love that ray tracing is an abandoned feature and they have it there as an incentive, I tried to play bedrock a few weeks ago and wanted to do rsy tracing... I was told my cpu was not ray tracing compatible... And uh... My brother in notch, I have a 3090ti wtf are you talking about? Turns out this feature is so abandoned and underdeveloped that it's looking specifically for series 20 cards, nothing newer will work. Got a 4090? Well sorry bucko, looks like that's not rtx compatible now is it?

I'll never touch bugrock again, it's by far the worst edition of the game and I fear that Mojang will try and widdle java away, if for some reason they do end up stop supporting java then I'll probably have to stop playing entirely because I absolutely hate BUGROCK

[@bujitself]

Best bit is that they check mods, but nothing that those mods add, in which case the lists would've been more or less identical
