I’ll go first. I strongly prefer Bedrock to Java and actively dislike the Java edition.
Edit: To clarify my reasoning(copied from a reply I made: Bedrock has a few features that I find to be really nice, and make Minecraft a much nicer experience for me
- Better performance(I’m aware of sodium)
- Simple Crossplay
- One-Click modding API
- Starting a world on my realm on my PC, and then continuing on my switch in bed
- Split screen for when I have friends over to play on Console
- .mcworld files make world management and creating backups really easy
I’m also well aware of bedrock’s issues. The things that bother me:
- Shitty offhand
- The marketplace
- Chat being mobile oriented so it takes up the entire screen
But overall, I’ve just kinda learned to really enjoy bedrock, and playing Java just feels like a hassle to me. I should also clarify that I am mainly a Vanilla player. I rarely dabble with mods. My experience with modding was ruined by needing the twitch app to install mods a few years ago.
Honestly, I like the industrial look of large exposed redstone builds. Especially if there’s been some terraforming of the region to appear more industrial.
