Genuine question: why does bedrock exist? What does it bring? Why is there the choice between java, bedrock and "Minecraft for windows"?
How do you fuck up this badly?
I tried using the launcher to move a java install from C: to another drive and it just points there and doesn't do anything? Steam had this stuff figured years ago
Wouldnt it make more sense to add official mod support to bedrock than to java? Java already has unofficial modloaders and more people play on bedrock edition
The mods are shit too. I don't know what their API is like but it's clearly not good if you have this entire legacy of modded minecraft, a game which is (presumably) way better programmed and they're actively paying people to do it, yet they can barely accomplish a 10th of the quality.
Even if they were good you'd have to interact with that horse-shit mobile game premium currency model (which absolutely should be made illegal) where you have to buy currency in packs with bigger packs having a discount and are never in sizes that are usable for a single purchase. Having to pay for mods is contentious enough as is, but putting it behind abusive MTX is going to be a deal breaker for the rest.
I was one confirmation away from finishing the Mojang to Microsoft migration but didn't because I'm tired of corps. I'll just play Minetest if I ever get the urge.
