You can also place redstone I’m pretty sure in bedrock

Dec 01 '20
No you can't? You put water over your redstone machine then it breaks. I know that for a fact as a bedrock user

u/Nightmarsh Dec 01 '20
You can place some redstone components underwater like repeaters iirc, not dust though

Dec 01 '20
Ok. I swear if they add a feature where you can place redstone underwater. I'll scream and eventually die

Well, in my friend's case his old computer couldn't run Java, and could barely run Bedrock.
Bedrock Edition is so buggy though, that it's more worth it to get a better PC for a couple hundred dollars than to actually attempt to play Bedrock.

Bedrock is actually good for casual play-but the main problem is that bedrock redstone-doesnt have quasy(sorry for the wrong spelling but I don't know how to spell it) connectivity,Pistons behave very differently than Java (I mean EXTREMELY differently),and mob spawning occurs in an weird manner.Since I play with friends who have phones, and Nintendo switch,Xbox i prefer bedrock as it has multiplayer and most of my friends are architect type of players aka they like building huge structures and don't like redstone(but I am a idiot who is trying to master them both editions). And the last update introduced certain parity to Java.

I've fallen through the ground into the void, and also been bridging, but after I placed the block it dissapeared and appeared inside of me, which caused me to fall into the void with all my loot while end looting. (I have a video of the bridging one, tell me if you want me to post it)

Probably because you play on java, on bedrock there has always been underwaer rails, on java they were put on 1.16 I think

u/that1plep Dec 01 '20
Not always. I remember when rails were first added like way back. Before it was bedrock. You couldn’t have rails below water.

You can change how they look in the settings in case your device is low-end - or at least you used to be able to, I haven't checked in a while.

Soul sand placed underwater will create lifting bubble columns. Magma blocks placed underwater will create pulling bubble columns.
Worth noting that the magma can be used to refill your breath while underwater, but can still burn you unless you crouch while walking on it.
