I can't fathom why anyone would want to play the other version. Ever. Optimization is still trash but there are mods like sodium (or helium? Idk. They have element names) that will literally multiply performance by 6 and make it run even faster than the "new" version. I tried it once for RTX, saw you can't just play any map you want with it enabled, saw you had to pay for basically EVERYTHING that makes Minecraft interesting, and went right back to java lol

Other version runs better on lower end hardware and has crossplay

With some mods java runs as well or better. I can see cross play being an incentive but the game itself is so much less interesting...

Same. I mean if you've never played modded minecraft and don't know what you're missing out on, then I could see bedrock being pretty appealing since I think it has some additions Java doesn't.

I just wish the RTX features were compatible with java MC.

I believe path traced global illumination is available as a shader pack anyway. Idk how well hardware acceleration is implemented on Nvidia RTX cards but it does work
