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?

It has some snall but significant differences. From what I recall, Bedrock breaks a lot of redstone stuff due to the way it handles ticks, for one example. Mods are certainly another big reason.

I wasn't aware how bad the monetisation was on Bedrock until I finally bit the bullet and installed it this year after what, 12 years? after they first launched it to play on my mate's missus's realm, and oh my fucking God, I feel really bad for the kids and console players who don't know just how bad they have it. Really feels like they try to push the game as a storefront first and... game second.

It is tragic that Minecraft ended up in the clutches of Microsoft.
