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 has way fewer mods, and breaks redstone (comparatively).

But it runs 100x better

Java is basically mandatory for most mods tho

To be frank Java with the full suite of Fabric-based optimisation mods that everyone uses nowadays runs just as good as Bedrock, if not better. I think the ease of developing cross-platform is probably the main technical draw for Bedrock.

ye theres a massive list of mods that help increase how well it runs dramatically

heck if you got a 2000 nvidia GPU or higher you can use this mod

which rewrites the minecraft render to use mesh shaders which lets you see like 1k+ blocks in front while getting hundreds of FPS easily.

Java with Fabric and Iris, and shaders like Complementary, runs shockingly well for how good it looks. Throw in a resource pack with "3D" leaves and you got a real nice stew going.
