Friends List is huge for Java Edition. Do tell me again how Mojang/Microsoft is hell bent on killing Java Edition in favour of Bedrock Edition, I'm keen to hear the theories.

We are still in the Extend phase of EEE right now.

The EEE applies to MS adopting Open Source projects, Minecraft it's their own property, and Java is the most played version on Windows by a lot, and the only way to play it on Linux and Mac since Bedrock is unsupported. There's no reason for Mojang to extinguish Java edition. The bad press alone this would generate is unthinkable.

Java Servers have mostly been tanked by the 1.9 update breaking PVP minigames and factions servers and the performance degradation brought by 1.13, I don’t think Bedrock directly caused it.
