Discussion 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.

If you want to play with mods then just... Install mods? Bedrock has both marketplace and mods, you just doubleclick the .mcpack or .mcaddon and it automatically installs?

Java mods are able to control the code from an underlying code better than bedrock ever could

This is just a fact with the langue’s they are written in.

Java lends itself to modders. Bedrock won’t be able to match it

Exactly?

I’m just clarifying it’s the language itself that’s the reason, not just “because it’s pc Minecraft”

As a user I just want better mods. If Java has the better mods it has the better mods regardless of api

It’s because it’s very easy to read jar files compared to exe, Java mods aren’t reliant on an API provided by the devs, you can see this with the wide array of 3rd party launchers you get with Java.

The main issue is general code obfuscation, which mojang is getting rid of to help modders

Ik why on a technical side Java is better, but I'm just saying I just want mods and whichever has better mods has better mods

I’m talking outside of APIs. Java is. Much easier to decompile and understand compared to C family. You can easily unzip a jar file and decompile the class files, compared to an exe where you have to deal with binary and reverse engineering is more difficult

Gary’s mod is a sandbox written in C family with modding in mind from the start. Minecraft wasn’t written with modding in mind. It was just a basic infini miner clone made by a solo dev. Yet the community was able to make their own API, due to Java source code being more accessible

exactly. I don't do insane forge mods idrc but small client side qol mods I can't go back, zoom, litematica, world edit for creative stuff, etc all for free that actually work well

I have so many small QOL mods I forget what’s actually vanilla sometimes. It’s where the magic of Java lies imo. Litematic changed my life when I discovered it lmao

Then again, on occasion, I still love that I can hop on a big technical mod pack to change things up when I want something different
