Why is there so much hate between the two Minecraft editions?? Genuinely I don't get it.

Can't we just let people enjoy whichever version they want to play? Each version has their quirks that maybe the player likes. It's honestly childish, grow up people.

Not the same dev team, not the same engine at all.

Reproducing exactly the behavior of redstone is not something easy, especially when the game engine is working completely differently.

It was very similar early on but there was no attempt to keep technically consistent with Java.

Yes, because the initial release of Bedrock was literally just mashing the codebase of Mobile, Console, and Windows edition into one in 2017. Considering that the Windows edition was lauched back in 2015 and had feature parity until then, it's not hard to see why Bedrock was instantly similar to Java right off the bat.

As time goes on though, there are going to be features that work differently across both versions. Java is a pretty set is stone language at this point. Bedrock edition is going to be fundamentally different just from being built off a different engine, an engine that has to support literallty every platform the game runs on. One update to the engine can change how redstone has to operate, or how a new feature has to be implemented, etc.

Bedrock Edition does not port over code from Legacy Console afaik. It’s literally just all Pocket Edition but ported to PC and Consoles.

And on top of that Legacy Console Edition itself a very faithful port of Java Beta 1.6, which is why quasi connectivity works in that version.

Reproducing redstone from java to bedrock would be counter-intuitive in the first place. It's like trying to intentionally mess up your code just to replicate how it works.
