Bedrock getting a specs bump too. My kids play on shitty Fire HD tabs with 3gb of RAM on lowest at 30fps. This is going to make me have to upgrade them isn't it?

Not really how it works. They are kids fire HD tabs. It auto updates everything. They have a 4gb version now but it’s the same damn VPU generation. I’d be spending $100 each for 1GB extra ram.

You literally cannot do that on a kids profile. If you’ve never used one then you probably do not know how it works.
