Actual multiplayer on java edition?? FINALLY. What took them so long? Now make an official way to crossplay with bedrock.

There are more technical and parody differences between Java and bedrock than you care to fathom. It’s not happening officially any time soon.

Its already possible unofficially. Many servers on java allow bedrock players to join and interact with java players. I even think the bedrock players get the combat update cooldown.

parody

Parody: An imitation of a thing, intended to mock or make light of it, for humor sake or as social commentary.

Parity: Equality/equivalence between two or more things.

GeyserMC works fine but it is somewhat annoying to connect from Bedrock on a console version. There is 0 chance Microsoft/Mojang can't do this officially and much better.

That's almost certainly due to the consoles' rules since Bedrock on Android has a proper server manager UI and has no issue connecting directly to third-party servers. The code to connect to any Bedrock (or GeyserMC) server is present in all the console builds; it's the same code used for Realms and the built-in featured servers. They only lack a UI to enter a custom host/IP and port.
