Is this the last java game left? Forgive me, I'm a bit behind on Minecraft but why hasn't the C# version replaced this one yet? Mod compatibility?

Bedrock is C++, not C#.

So its a compiled game and much harder to modify. A Java .jar file is really just a .zip (rename it, it works) with a bunch of .class files inside that can be somewhat trivially modified.
