Basically title, this thing with two editions of the game slows down development because they now have to write the same thing twice and it splits the userbase. They also don’t want to make Bedrock edition for Linux for some reason.

    But yeah, they regularly used to screw modders up redoing internals to make things dynamic instead of hard coded and refraction tons and tons of stuff.

    This was always controversial because the ostensible reasons, optimization and future features, seemed to pale in comparison to what random modders were doing hacking at the code. And Minecraft JE, feature wise, hasn’t changed that much.

      Has bedrock edition changed much? I remember they had VR at one point, but in general they’ve kept the features pretty much identical AFAIK

        Last I checked its still missing some gameplay features JE has, but generally tries to keep parity with JE, yeah.
