Hey so I have a PC and want to get Minecraft, but I'm not sure whether to get Java or Bedrock? So I often see videos where people "fight" with each other but also which ones where they build houses, for example, as in the famous Minecraft etc. So can someone please explain to me what you do where? (So where is the difference) and which one should I get?
Java… There you can do a lot more things like download mods.
I have both on my pc and I never play bedrock, only Java
The disadvantage is Java and Bedrock can't connect to each other, that means if your friends have Java, but you have Bedrock, you can't play with them on servers together. Just a little tip by the way.
Java and Bedrock can play together…
With Java you can do everything that is possible in real life and much more
With Bedrock you can't do anything compared to Java, but you can play with consoles and mobile phone players, but that is now also possible in the Java Edition
And in the Bedrock Edition, the performance is a bit better, but that's only a tiny advantage
Also in the other 61737283738 questions, 99% said that the Java Edition is better
You can actually do everything with everything, but in Java you have a cool down when you can beat again, so the Bedrock is actually better suited for pvp.
However, it is easier to install shaders, texture packs and mods with Java.
So for pure gaming, I would recommend Java to you.
But if you want to play pvp with friends or as I said, take the Bedrock (your friends must also have the Bedrock). Because on the Bedrock you can play multiplayer, which on the Java only works via servers.
Speaking of servers, the Bedrock only has a few servers, but the Java has all the servers you probably know and a lot more! (Hypixel, Pixelmon, Skyblock, etc.)
So to play on servers you should use Java.
I bought the Java because shaders are / were very important to me.
In addition, nobody in my area plays Minecraft (only a friend, but I only play with her when we meet on the PS4).
Oh, and if you want to play with people who have the Pocket Edition, take the Bedrock, because the PE is also Bedrock.
And if you know people who play on consoles / switch, take the Bedrock too. (They need the crossplay version on the PS4.)
In summary, Java is better suited for servers and singleplayers and also for shaders, texture packs and mods.
The Bedrock only has the advantage of the multiplayer mode and maybe. The Marketplace (but it costs real money to refill the coins to buy something).
Sry, which is so long, actually brought everything in, only that with the versions you don't have some options, crafting recipes and blocks that are available in the other.
No, I can't or I missed something
