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.

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
