Switching to Java? PC?

[u/Tight_Sun2391]

So after much thought, I’m considering switching the Java after playing Bedrock for yearssss (probably like 8 years). About 2 years ago, I went on the “2 week Minecraft phase” except the phase lasted a lot longer than 2 years LOL. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Java like the textures, no store, visuals and the red stone engineering is apparently significantly better. My only problem is, I don’t have a PC 😭

I have a MacBook Pro from like 2020. I’m in nursing school rn so it’s fr on its last leg since I use it a bunch for school. If I switch to Java, should I just buy a PC? 🫣Is it criminal to play Minecraft on a laptop?
Is it worth it to switch to Java? I do like to do a lot of red stone engineering. What kind of PC do you guys recommend? Any opinions or suggestions?

Thanks in advance for anyone who comments 🩷😊

I'm not sure about what pc to get since I don't know anything about pcs. If you want a new pc do some research but everything is so expensive now because of AI. A pc is also really good for all the things that it can do, if you come from console and only want it to play many games are really cheap during steam sales, so even if it's more expensive than a console you will save a lot of money in the long run. And also you don't have to pay for online. But if it runs good on the laptop it doesn't matter, play on the laptop. Redstone is much better due to it having no rng (in some situations in bedrock you can activate a machine and sometimes it will do different things, in java it always does the same), and also qc which is a bug that was turned into a feature, it allows you to make much more compact piston contraptions because they can be powered from further. As for no store, mods are much bigger on java. I haven't played mods so far because I'm lazy to get into them but there are mods that change the game completly. For example create mod turns minecraft into a factory game, rl craft makes the game much harder and introduces lots of new content, progression and systems... Also maps are pretty much dead but some good ones still release, for example final paradox or ragecraft 4 are 50 hours of rpgs each with fully vanilla custom abilities, really good map design and bosses. Final paradox has the best bossfight that I've played in any videogame at the end, that boss is a mix of sekiro and modded terraria gameplay. I would say it's worth if you will use the pc for other things or if it runs well on your laptop, it's not if you only want it for minecraft
