It makes no sense to me that there are two versions of the game. I’ll be watching a youtube tutorial video, and suddenly they’ll say “this doesn’t work on bedrock”.
Ugh! Then you find out it’s not just a simple ARM vs x86 issue. They function SLIGHTLY differently too. And they can’t coexist with crossplay. Bedrock is the nuetered version.
Just combine the games. I get console can’t host a server, but at least let them join servers!
The Java version of the game runs like ass comparatively and is only smooth on our souped up x86 CPUs
While Bedrock performs way better than Java, Java will run on anything that has a JVM and I’ve had the vanilla version run just fine on an M1 MacBook Air.
If you use community mods like Sodium for increased performance, I’m pretty confident it would run on a Raspberry Pi
Sorry, I should have been more specific. They’ve made many optimizations since the decision to make a C++ version.
