FUN FACT: if u have a old minecraft disc that still has "Minecraft: (console name) edition" like PS4 edition then it will let u use a older version of minecraft, but it has to be way before the aqautic update

bedrock is still good it just has a lot of bugs. its still playable though, I’ve played it for over 6 years and haven’t seen any of those “gamebreaking” bugs

@@boomblok_ Nah Legacy Console was just built different, so well optimized, so simple, and just nostalgic. Minecraft Bedrock doesn't feel smooth, doesn't look smooth, laggy movement of other players, it's just not as good.

i had console, but my dad deleted all my old worlds to clear up space. so i cant relive them like this ;-;

[@ZekeStudiosFilms]

@@tristanlyman Similar story, my mom used to say that I could only have one world on minecraft java to save space. Well, I had a world that was created, maybe in 2015, and I did SO MUCH in it. I deleted it in 2019, partially on accident, partially because I thought to generate a mansion I had to make a new world. But I'm so thankful for me being on java edition specifically, because in 2022, when I was cleaning stuff off of that computer, I checked the backups folder and found one. Turns out, the game updated to version 1.14 the last week I played on it, and it made a backup of the world! Sorry that you didn't have the same luck.

If Legacy 4J was as optimised as Console Edition was then "Bedrock if it was good" would be the perfect description for it!

[@FyreofShadow]

If you download specifically the "Re-Console" modpack (which includes Legacy4J as a mod among many other things), it'll include all the older tutorial worlds as well - plus you can change the worldgen back to the "Console Beta" style for normal world generation, which is a feature I absolutely love.

[@MOU3Nmc]

This mod is actually very accurate. The graphics are accurate as well, with the fog and the gamma being to the point. Very cool.

[@Limes_not_Lemons]

I play this modpack on my Steam Deck a lot with a custom menu title and panorama so it's as if 4J kept making legacy editions and made an official Steam Deck edition. It feels legit on controller. It's a perfect mix of nostalgia while also playing with the new features. For me it's the ideal way to play Minecraft now. The nostalgia reels me in and keeps me engaged in the new features of the game, which in turn makes me engaged in said new features. Hell, there's an add on to the mod, part of the modpack that adds the skin menu and there's a resource pack which adds nearly every legacy skin pack in, including things like the star wars ones, simpsons, battle and beasts and even the xbox and playstation exclusive variants of the birthday packs

This is the best Mod i have ever played and one of the best ever made.(May be a hottake but i can explain) This Mod Combines the Legacy Style aswell as its Mechanics (old crafting recipes and Worldgeneration) and mixes those with the new stuff of minecraft such as Ancient City, Nether Update and so on(they even made new Legacy looking textures for new Blocks and Items). And there is also the fact that you play it on Java and there for having smooth gameplay aswell. Its truly the PERFECT Mix of Legacy and Modern Minecraft.

This is a long comment, so I hope you can read it (: . I still play Minecraft ps3 edition over Xbox 1 edition (bedrock), even though I own both I still choose PS3. There are a few good features in bedrock edition such as being able to change FOV, the nether update, shields but other than that ps3 edition still has better features. It’s much more simple, much more fun. The tutorial world and the mini games are just amazing. Also Gareth Coker’s mini game music made me vibe more than most music in the last 5 years. Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but ps3 edition is just amazing. Thanks for reading this, have a good day ❤
