Genuinely curious; why play Bedrock instead of Java Edition when Bedrock is so much trouble on linux?
Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition

Be nice if Minecraft was released on Steam so Linux users didn’t have to emulate an Android device just to play it.
- brucethemoose@lemmy.world 17 hours ago- Zastier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 hours ago- While the marketplace on Bedrock is filled with garbage, it’s does also have some genuinely fun and interesting content that’s not really replicated on Java in my experience. - Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 hours ago- I’ll call cap for $500, Alex. - All of Java’s modding and mapping history? I think you might be referring to the Bugrock Bootlegs (there are plenty of those lol). - Zastier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 hours ago- there’s some incredible mods and maps for Java but there’s also a lot of fun content on the marketplace. The Sonic, and Ben 10 DLCs comes to mind, there isn’t anything like that on Java. It’s a difference of someyhing like Minecolonies, a detailed automation mechanic integrated into the survival game vs something like Simburbia, 1:1 recreation of SimCity that exists entirely separate from the survival game. They offer very different kinds of content. 
 
 
- Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 hours ago- Users/friends locked onto a platform that doesn’t support Java edition because of Microsoft, notably Mobile phones and game consoles. - Whenever you hear about someone asking about running bedrock, it’s to play with the unlucky saps who have that edition as their only option. Other than that, always play Java. - protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 hours ago- you can play java on mobile, but the controls do suck there for mobile even with mods that overhaul the controls to improve it 
- brucethemoose@lemmy.world 13 hours ago- I thought it was compatible with a translation layer? - I guess that’s a big technical hurdle. - I get that. It’s like saying “just install Linux to run this,” but weird thing is OP already installed Linux, so I’m assuming their technical proficiency is pretty high. - Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 hours ago- It is “compatible” using geyser as a bridge yes, but it causes a lot of headaches for the Java server owner to the benefit of the Bedrock player. Like duping being possible through manipulation of the client on a mobile phone. 
 
 
 
- golden_zealot@lemmy.ml 19 hours ago- I play the Java edition on Debian with mods from modrinth and don’t require emulation etc. 
- nagaram@startrek.website 20 hours ago- What are you talking about? When was the last time you tried this? - cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 19 hours ago[deleted]- nagaram@startrek.website 19 hours ago- That makes sense. I’ve never wanted to play bedrock so I’ve never tried. - Sorry other poster. - cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 19 hours ago- That’s fair, I hate it too. Java is way better, mine is so heavily modded I can barely stand vanilla Minecraft anymore. The only reason I know what a shitshow Bedrock on Linux is, is because my niece was at first only allowed to play on Switch and that’s only properly compatible with Bedrock, and she likes to show me around her worlds that she works on. I eventually convinced her parents to give her access to something that would let her play Java instead and since then we’ve only looked back at Bedrock once, and she was disappointed too haha.

Are you talking about the Bedrock edition or something? Because there are plenty of Java edition launchers available that even perform better than the Windows version

I think prism launcher is better these days (it’s a fork of multimc but with more stuff)
whoisearth@lemmy.ca 19 hours ago
I’ll give it a look thnx

The MultiMC dev came out as a raging anti LGBT, right? That’s why it was forked into Prism.
Man… there’s been a lot of drama in the MC modding scene.
Zastier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 hours ago
You’re thinking of PolyMC, where one of the devs went on a powertrip and kicked all other devs out. The devs of that then went to make Prism. PolyMC splitting off from MultiMC was a whole other mess.
