I'm just wondering if there are any differences in the game, i.e. If the base game is different
No, I do not think so. The programming language is just different, which makes Movement and everything different.
Yes, there are a lot of differences.
Yes
The only difference is that Bedrock Edition sucks (but with crossplay) and Java (only for PC) not xD
I'll tell you a few differences:
Java Edition:
-There is a spectator mode
-The ticks are a little higher
-There are more shaders and mods
Bedrock Edition:
- Spruces get white needles when it snows
-Clear inventory
Java is better, but Bedrock doesn't suck either.
Ok then it sucks compared to the Java Edition xD
:-)
I recommend Java because it has the whole pvp scene and the better servers. And it's just more fun.
