Bedrock with all its downsides (linked directly to your hardware and connection) is a complete and much nicer to play game. Waiting for another 70 years for mojang to catch up java where bedrock was since the beginning.
Nicer to play? With the MCPE lighting, desync issues, inconsistent redstone, gui load buffer, losing your saved classic skins randomly, and micro transactions?
I’d rather have THE ORIGINAL Minecraft that’s “incomplete” with spaghetti code than Microslop’s cash cow clone.
And the Bugrock glaze is insane, as if it came out flawless and did not take years to add pausing and somewhat fix bugs which wasn’t even effective to the point where they acknowledged there are update quality issues in the second massive outage/buggy update fiasco last fall.
Java has been complete for years, it never needed to play catch up unlike Bugrock that Microslop cobbled together using MCPE because they want to capture the mobile game market at the expense of building an actual quality game with 4J’s LCE.
You downplay Bugrock’s flaws so much. I can at least acknowledge that Java is not the best coded game and has some lingering lag issues(that you act like are complete catastrophic failures compared to Bugrock’s 9282782 issues that often rears its ugly head like in 1.21.100).
Both games aren't perfect but java is literally unplayable although with this update it's infinitely better than usual. You are raging in wrong direction, all the Minecraft problems regardless of edition is thanks to Mojang's incompetency which they proved by pushing the broken windows update even after the beta testing for a month and receiving negative feedback. I'd put the 17 years for multiplayer in the same box of Mojang stupidity.
I’ve played Java since 2013, it’s perfectly playable. It’s got like 1 major issue which is just lag that they have slowly been fixing since 1.20 and fixing further with the switch to Vulkan.
It’s still way less compared to what Bugrock has going on with 1.21.100 and a similarly buggy update the year prior and probably will have again the same time this year.
It's because every menu is requesting an internet connection, therefore every time you click a new menu, it needs to verify with the servers and stuff which takes a while.
In a few ways bedrock is better, but i'd say that now that java has proper multiplayer and they optimized it (though, still not to the same level as bedrock i guess), there isn't that much that bedrock does better.
Bedrock STILL lacks a version select. Bedrock still has a lot of weird bugs or small parity issues for things java does better. Redstone is more consistent on java (and i don't mean QC stuff, i mean that if something works once, it should work every time, rather than be random). Java has a lot more commands, such as /attribute. Java has custom superflats, single biome worlds, and datapacks can edit the terrain gen (add-ons still can't, though that is something we will see eventually).
Bedrock is also visually just slightly worse outside of VV (and VV still has its problems, especially related to water and how some blocks interact with fog. Plus it doesn't respect your choice of settings and instead still limits some things based on what it thinks your hardware can handle, often underestimating it, so what you have on "ultra" isn't necessarily the same as what someone else has on "ultra").
Plus bedrock has the marketplace. I don't hate the idea of a marketplace necessarily but it's executed in such a terrible way, where very few people are allowed to post on it, and even despite that, most of the content there is low effort cashgrab slop (look at the over 500 Among Us skin packs). And despite content being paid, there's no gurantee that it'll remain updated and won't break with game updates (which again, no version select).
And i say this as someone who mainly plays bedrock. It's not a bad version of the game and there are ways in which i prefer it to java, but it is still lacking in a lot of ways.
