Minecraft Bedrock Is Being RUINED by Parity 

Despite supposedly being indestructible, mojang sure loves to go out of their way to break bedrock

I think Minecraft has become a textbook example at this point of how NOT to bring feature parity across your games. Instead of adding the best features from each version to the other, they keep removing all the good features from one version (Windswept Savanna grass) and adding all the worst features from that version to the other (player reporting and overbearing moderation) instead. I THOUGHT PARITY WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE GAME BETTER FOR ALL OF US

I actually really liked the red sunset clouds on Bedrock, it kinda makes more sense. Clouds at sunset irl don't stay white, they turn a pinkish or yellow colour.

16:45 you forgot about the fact that pausing in bedrock is nonexistent, you can still get killed while being afk for a long time and I wouldn't even call it a "feature". I shouldn't have to leave my world to pause the game, Mojang desperately needs to fix this 😭

my friends and I had a survival world. And we collected skeleton horses and put them in boats on a pond. We had like 7 skeleton horses on our year old survival world until one day, when we logged on, they were ejected out of the boats. I was so mad because we had been collecting them for months. We lost a few horses because they either despawnes or got stuck somewhere else. Biggest L a video game has ever had

The textures are randomly rotated to reduce the appearance of texture tiling, which is usually considered ugly when it affects organic textures like grass and dirt.

the one parity feature that i have wanted for Years is the ability to put and use items in the offhand, the almost uselessness of the offhand in bedrock currently is extremely frustrating

"They could have just added horses in boats to Java, and everyone would be happier." As a Java player, I can confirm that

About the Dying Trees, Minecraft doesn’t have Ivy, but Ivy is a plant in real life that eats away at trees by growing on them. Pretty sure vines are being used to replicate this effect.

If they take away winter mode I would riot I love the winter biomes and how white it looks during snowstorms

As someone who greatly prefers Java Edition, I'll be so sad if they remove Winter Mode from Bedrock, it looks so pretty!!

The paper doll is useful when trying to glide efficiently with the elytra. It kicks it's legs when you start to stall, indicating you need to lower your aim / increase your glide angle a little.

I feel like the paper doll is actually very helpful. Say you run forward and jump, try to activate your elytra, but instead you fall to your death because you forgot you were wearing a chestplate instead. The paper doll lets you easily view your character and the armor you’re wearing without going into your inventory.

I genuinely find the paper doll useful as a crouch indicator. Also it's nice to see my pretty trimmed armor in the corner sometimes heh

Playing Bedrock for about 5 years has really made me want a few features from Java put into Bedrock, and that is being able to put multiple tools and items into you offhand. The other being able to see chunks to make mob farm building more efficient.

Also Trident Killers would be an insane loss for basically every mob farm since we cant really use any other fully afk way to kill large amounts of mobs (especially with looting)

IF THEY TAKE AWAY LEADING BOATS SPEEDBRIDGING AND BONEMEALING SMALL FLOWERS I WILL RIOT

What might be concerning is that some Mojang dev could very well see this video and start taking notes on the Bedrock exclusive features that you mentioned, to remove them later so it matches Java.

I think the reason people don't complain about single page view book & quill is because how their use for getting simple 1:1 redstone comparator signals out of them. Page 1 is strength 1, page 15+ is full strength, page 5 is 5 strength etc. One redstone parity change they COULD make is letting you use redstone components underwater in Java

Paper doll is super useful for determining your pitch while flying high up where you can't reference the world, as it isn't visible.

The paper doll is super useful in games like Skywars, and can be used to quickly check what armor you’re using and what needs to be upgraded.

I'm so mad about the fence button thing. I used it for a realistic ender dragon statue. I didn't even realize it was removed, I thought it was a bug when it stopped working!

I'm glad you mentioned the button on fence problem. I have a server were certain parts of my decoration includes buttons on fences to add detail. I was so confused when I got on one day, and couldn't do it, thinking it was a glitch. Then found out it was removed, and got kinda angry about that. like, why!?

I would get irrationally angry if they removed paper doll, it is such a fun whimsical joy seeing your character on screen i would unironicaly campaign on getting it back

I really hope mojang watches this and adds it to java edition, as I really don't want any of these features to go, especially the white leaves, snow logging, and snow having gravity. Mojang should learn that many bedrock features are loved by the bedrock community and removing them can actually affect bedrock edition negatively. (Pomegranate) also, I LOVE phantoms. :D

Minecraft Ruined Edition!

Here's a major idea, ALLOW US TO SWITCH AND PLAY ON OLDER VERSION'S IN BEDROCK This drives ppl up the wall and it's a major reason people don't even want to test beta for them as you can't play with anyone else while beta is activated

Love the OG Minigame music in the background. Also, as a bedrock player, I agree with everything you said in this video. The Savannah grass and horse boat changes effected my world specifically because i used those features and now they are gone. I’ve been waiting for the 1.5 block sneaking for a while and i’m glad it’s finally here. don’t diss the paper doll 😢 he’s been here from the start

Btw the reason we had the feature to place blocks in front of us on bedrock was because back in earlier pocket edition days we didnt even had the option to crouch lmao

This is niche but I use the paper doll while flying. Specifically while flying in the end. It’s really useful for making sure you maintain orientation while flying off of the main end island. Since if you accidentally start going down it’s really easy to lose yourself without watching coordinates carefully.

Paper dolls are nice because most first-person games have an issue where your character can get cosmetic changes, but, since you're playing in first person, it doesn't matter to you. Being able to see your player at all times in a non-obstructive way is just a nice QoL feature to have

One of the big things about a book in Java is that the page number you are on is the strength of redstone signal in a lectern. I have this in an automatic brewing station where I turn the page the potion I want and it brews it. 2 pages would be weird. What I really want is redston to work like Java with movable furnaces and such and nether roof building on bedrock. If bedrock restore was like Java and I could build on the roof I might try bedrock but honestly with the amount of mods on Java I probably wouldn’t

This man didn't even attempt to mention the massive parity difference of redstone.

Having played Bedrock more recently and having played Java for a long time.. The main things I miss are in-line chat, debug keys, the graphics options (brightness level especially), equiping more things to my off-hand (torches especially), food saturation, and all the missing tricks I could do with redstone. I do think as they introduce parity they need to focus on what would be an improvement to bedrock other than just "different" like the color of grass.

“You can’t reach equality by dragging everyone down, you can only reach true equality by lifting people up” HOW IS THIS A QUOTE IN A MC VIDEO

Imo, some of the "bad" and "mediocre" features from bedrock are good, like the clouds tinted red on sunsets and sunrises and looking at the sun making the sky darker, or the randomly rotated blocks

I have been complaining about Bedrock Being RUINED by Parity for a long time now but it still keeps happening.

I feel like they should stop treating Java as the “default” edition and start adding good bedrock features to Java instead of just taking good features from bedrock away and adding bad features from Java. (Edited for bad wording)

i actually really like the paper doll and bed textures. the paper doll just makes the game feel a bit nostalgic and the bed textures just feel more natural. paper doll also gives another time that you can see your skin/armor trims

As someone who has always & will always play Java, I love that Bedrock has unique features & I'd really love if they leaned more into it. Having cool things that you don't experience makes it so the things you do experience feels more unique. Your experience in games is improved by having more content that you never touch.

I definitely agree that parity for coordinates is a necessity. If I want to see coordinates on Java I have to use a debug screen full of information I don't need, that covers 75% of the screen in moving white text. It's nice to have the debug screen as an option, but having another way to see only coordinates without a ton of information covering the screen would be great. On the other hand, bringing features like being able to see what biome you are in to bedrock would be great as well.

Projectiles ring bells and buttons can be placed on pistons on Java Edition. Unless the buttons are on the back of the piston, they will break when the piston extends, which has a redstone use for generating zero tick pulses with minimal setup. Weirdly Java has fully featured armour stands, with names, posing, arms, and all sorts of stuff, but you can't access it in survival. I think it's an interface thing, but hopefully one day we'll get that in vanilla.

I play java (modded) and I agree that bedrock should be getting improvements for parity, because you cannot mod the game to get these improvements, unlike java. For example, I use mods to add the bedrock-style bridge placing but ppl on bedrock cannot do the same for hunger or combat mechanics (or any parity difference)

I actually really enjoy having the paper doll there! I personally don't use it for much, but it's nice to have a little friend there! also reminds me what I'm wearing lol. though, I'm pretty sure the reason it exists is to aid players without dynamic FoV on. people who get motion sickness and turn it off, can't easily tell if they're walking or sprinting or what, so the paper doll helps alot! Also, I personally really like the beds having the 2d textures, I just wish the colours actually matched up, though...

One other interesting thing to mention: movable tile entities (Hoppers, Furnaces, Chests, Dispensers, etc.) can be made movable using the Carpet Mod that was originally created by a group of kidders headed by Gnembon. He is now working for Mojang… I would not be surprised if this doesn’t get added to Java sometime soon.

11:15 "Who is this guy and why is he such an essential part of the bedrock experience?" **paper doll having a seizure** "I really don't know why this thing is here."

I find the paperdoll useful when I'm flying with the elytra, because in bedrock you can stop flying by hitting the spacebar again. Which in itself is a feature that I would like to see in Java.

They almost wanted to remove trident killers from bedrock, but thankfully they marked it as "works as intended" in the bug tracker. So I dont think its going anywhere, which is good because we don't have sweeping edge and offhand to repair our tools.

It seems like Mojang loves to remove features instead of just adding the beloved features

I think the primary function of the paper doll is to remind players during pvp whether they’re crouched or not. At least it’s the only reason I’ve ever used it. Maybe as well in the deep dark for the same reason.

What's great about java is that we don't have to worry about these features getting removed to begin with because of the existence of mods accurate block placement, bridging, bedrock biome waters, 1.8 combat, and things like winter leaves and 3d fishing rods are an optifine texturepack.

I personally love the paper doll feature since its one of the last nostalgic parts of minecraft bedrock or minecraft (pocket edition) that is still present in the game. But mainly i always like to see my player model moving around or crouching because it does help veteran players like me to know what im doing. Also its anesthetically awesome to watch. Also im still upset they never brought furnace minecarts to bedrock. It should be a thing.

5:10 one thing about vines, they climb up trees, and then cover them completely, so that the trees get no light, so then the trees die

The paper doll is useful when I’m switching back-and-forth between a chest plate and my wings. So I don’t jump off a cliff with a chest plate on. Also, removing the ability to put a horse in the boat is kind of a pain because I’ve had issues in the past with my horses disappearing, so I would always put my horse in a boat because animals in boats never seem to disappear.

Mojang got rid of horses in boats in Java as well (used to be able to let them grow up inside the boat) so it's a change on both versions

USES FOR PAPERDOLL: I actually have a few uses for the paperdoll. If ur in a dangerous situation, such as loads of hostile mobs fighting u and u hear something break, like an armour piece, rather than having to open ur inventory and taking a tonne of damage and possibly dying, u can run away and look at the paper doll to see which armour piece has just broken so that when u go to equip another one u can do it faster because you already know what needs to be made and repaired. This works well as the paperdoll shows up when u sprint, sneak, swim or crawl so if u r running away quickly from dangerous mobs you can check what armour u have equipped. Aslo if u wanna know what you look like to other players… ig u can use the paper doll lol??? It’s kinda like a replacement in pocket edition from not being able to quickly change to third person mode ig. (I aslo don’t know if this works because never tried it but maybe it could be useful if u r invis??? Idk if it shows the player on the paper doll or not lol but if it doesnt then u can see when the invis runs out ig although u would see that anyway, and if it does show the player then u can see whether u r sneaking so that when it runs out no one will see ur name tag before u drink another pot or retreat, and aslo the paper doll could be used to see any visual indicators when ur invis to show signs that ur there, eg maybe u forgot to take off ur shield and then if u didn’t see it on the paper doll u would’ve completely forgot, although this is a bad example because u can see shields anyway, but maybe for armour, idk just feels like it can help u not forget stuff as easily lol.)

5:19 this would actually be an incredibly large change to the Java community since a lot of people play minigames, Mojang should add it in an experimental snapshot and see how it does first before they put it in the game.

What a great coincidence. I was just binging your Bedrock VS Java videos yesterday and here you are uploading a similar type of video - this happens to me so much on RU-vid haha.

I played both Bedrock and Java, but have to say that I like Java more. And honestly, most good features you mentioned I either don't really like or need in Java. Expect all the cauldron related features, they are great!

They should have the community vote for java and bedrock separately, so they get even more different

I always use the paper doll when play bedrock mainly so I can see my skin lol But I do think it has its uses I see no downsides to it so why not add it 🤷🏻‍♀️

for the paper doll, it something that i find very nostalgic, this being my first time i ever played mc was on the xbox and just so happened to obviously have the music and paper doll, now you need to download the separate pack for music and turn on the paper doll. buth are small things, but are VERY nostalgic

I like the paper doll because sometimes i can't tell if i'm running or walking, and might keep trying to sprint when i'm actually already doing that.

11:25 the paper doll was originally a console feature, so youll have to ask 4j studios about that one

The top left thing is helpful for elytra bugs. Where you use the trident to glide up but it kicks you out after a second or so. Shouldn’t need to be that way cause of the insane number of bugs Bedrock has, but there’s your use case.

I actually love having the paper doll because it helps me realize if I'm crouched or not. I have vision problems and with swift sneak I can't always tell very well. It has literally saved me many times.

I can't help but feel like that vibrant green grass in the windswept savanna was unintentional... Its a _savanna,_ they're not supposed to have mushroom island/jungle colored grass. And if it _was_ an accident, then I think Bedrock players should just have to deal with it, because it makes no sense being that green.

Paper dolls are useful because if chunks don't load fast enough when you're flying you can see what angle you're facing so that you don't fly into the ground and die

So I’ve been playing on a Java based cross-platform server and the placing blocks farther away thing is something that makes me so mad because my bedrock client says you can still place it far away sometimes and then the Java based server is like oh no you don’t and takes away the block so now there’s a ghost block that no one but me can see

I love having the paper doll. When flying high enough to not have the ground render, or flying over void in the end, you can see the angle you are at so you don't nosedive on accident.

I would love for the block placement mechanics to be added to Java. Building bridges between the End islands is *terrifying* when you're constantly crouching over the edge with nothing but void below.

My thoughts on each change as a Java player: Coloured water - Please add to Java. Dyed water cauldrons - Meh. Don't really care, but prefer the current Java method. Potion cauldrons - Again, meh. Rather wouldn't have it but if it came to Java it wouldn't upset me. Fallen trees - Please add to Java Dying trees - it's ok as long as vines don't get out of control Bedrock block placing mechanics - Please add to Java! Skeleton horse mechanics - Eh. Bedrock's mechanic doesn't make sense. Baby aquatic mobs - Don't care but would rather have it than it removed from Bedrock Movable block entities - PLEASE MOJANG ADD TO JAVA Snow mechanics - Please add to Java Coordinates - Java is fine the way it is with this. Bone meal on sugar cane - Java's fine the way it is. Grass Path Silk Touch - Please add to Java. Armour Stand Arms - You should be able to choose whether they have arms or not. Armour Stand Poses - should be more customisable on both editions. Cakes stacking - Wouldn't be mad if it got added to Java Potion of Decay - Well, it's already a creative-only thing. So you could just use commands to get it. Desert well chances - Like Java mechanics the way it is. Rarer nether fortresses - Make it between the two. They are way too common on Java and too rare on Bedrock. 3d fishing bobber - Should be made smaller but I do like it Sponges drying out - Annoying cause then you can't build with them in certain biomes Leads on walls and boats - Yes please. Strongholds under villages - I like strongholds the way they are on Java Netherrack portal base - It would be cool to make netherrack renewable Drowned and ghast eyes glowing - Wait Java drowneds' eyes don't glow? Also ghasts' eyes glowing looks weird. Two page lecterns - Would cause problems with redstone. Prefer it is kept the same on Java. Sheared sheep colours - Makes sense, but Bedrock sheared sheep are SO UGLY Dead coral - Wait again, that's not in Java? Paper doll - it's cool, as long as they make it toggleable. Bamboo in sparse jungle - nah. Buttons on walls and fences - this was cool, why was it removed from Bedrock? Bells - Wait for a third time, Didn't realise this wasn't in Java! Dye shulkers - You should be able to do this in survival too on both editions Skeleton melee - Yeah, please fix on Java, they literally just shoot themselves and it's really dumb. Small flower bone meal - I like Java mechanics because it gives flower forest a use, and the gradient is too cool to ruin. Fishing rod durability - Like Java the way it is. I mean, you usually you have Mending and you get XP from fishing anyways, so is more durability really necessary? Empty Map - It would be nice to have a map without the little character icon! Baby zombie jockeys - It would be cool if it was SUPER rare, like 0.01%. Otherwise it would just be like oh. ok. why does that exist? Sky differences - I like the sky differences on Bedrock, as long as it doesn't wreck the nostalgia I get from playing Java Phantoms - they do need a buff on Java. Maybe split the difference. Nether caves without lava- THIS IS SO ANNOYING on Java. Please remove. Nether forest generation - They are a disaster on Java. Doesn't help that hoglins can hit from behind walls. Less tall grass - Yes please. I hate tall grass. Random rotated textures - some look weird (magma block, terracotta, etc) but others look cool Lack of combat changes - I prefered 1.8 combat and still do to this day, so if they'd finally implement the combat test snapshots I'd appreciate it.

Great video as always, I’d love to see more uses for cauldrons on Java. Also might have to get that future me’s problem hoodie, I appreciate not having to explain merch to my parents haha

hey man… i genuinely like the paper doll. minecraft doesn’t feel the same without my little character doll going crazy in the top left. no need to remove the feature as a whole

I don't like the "placing blocks while facing at an empty space" mechanic. It's unrealistic and breaks the beautiful tension of having to be careful and shifting. It's one of the more funny and crazy moments of minecraft. I mean, if you want to build as if you were flying...then use creative

I use the Paper Doll to let me know when my Elytra has activated so I don't waste rockets on a bad jump. I also tend to look at it as I'm flying as a way to figure-out what angle I'm at to get the most out of each rocket.

A use for the tiny paper doll in the top left corner is when flying when chin is aren’t loading. It tells me whether or not I’ve hit an invisible wall while flying

I wish the shattered savanna still had green grass! they are litterally taking away the good features from bedrock :(

Here's a Bedrock Exclusive Feature, using Riptide on a Trident in Bedrock Edition does not damage the Trident it's enchanting unless you hit another player, mob, or entity with it. On Java Edition, each use of Riptide damages the Trident it's enchanting regardless of whether or not you hit another Player, Mob, or Entity (Unbreaking can ignore some of the damage checks if the Trident is enchanted with it.).

7:56 I’ve heard this might take a lot more coding than you might expect. My theory is that they didn’t add it because of duping glitches involving pushing a chest with a piston while opening and closing it.

As a Java player who is just now learning about the existence of the Paper Doll in Bedrock, my gut feeling is that its main function is to allow the player to see their own skin. I almost exclusively play singleplayer, so for years I've had literally no reason to change my skin from the default Steve. Just a few months ago I decided to make a custom one, just for fun, but still, for 99% of the time I never get to see it. So I guess the Paper Doll is kinda nice for this kind of situation haha!

10:26 okay i dont know the language but i have a gut feeling that is the big poem you see after killing the dragon XD

11:09 this is easily to be explained: In bedrock, especially on PS4 with controller, there sometimes are movement bugs in which you cannot really tell if you're walking, running etc, bcz over the time your Controllersticks can drift. The Avatar can help you, for example when flying, to realise your current movement, so you have a better chance reacting to it early.

the paper doll is very helpful when flying in the end, so that you can tell what direction you are flying when you cant see anything but void

Two features currently exclusive to bedrock I am genuinely worried about them choosing the Java version are the Wither and Bonemealable sugar cane. When someone Asked on Twitter when are we on Java going to get bonmealable Sugar Cane Kingbdogz responded. "We don't want all crops to be bonemealable." Also when it comes to parity my viewe has always been I support it within reason. with features being carefully considered that do both communities want a specific feature on both or do they like the feature they have on the version they play and want it unchanged. Making everything the same on both versions without any input from both communities just feels like a sure fire way to annoy people. for example while I would love the above features on Java the stronghold generation and the nether portal generation I don't want as a Java player.

I actually look at the paperdoll a lot and can be useful if you have parrots as you can see if they're on your shoulders if you're running or crouching and if you loose them it's much easier to notice right away that they aren't on your shoulders, especially when transporting them very large distances, also sometimes in water you aren't actually swimming even when you're underwater but looking at the paperdoll helps me see if I am or not so I can swim faster if I need to, plus you can see if you're wearing armor or your elytra, it can be useful in a few ways lol

14:20 The anvil glitching out here looks similar to the anvil glitching out in your glitch video, where you showed that placing an anvil on a big drip leaf in the nether before leaving and returning would duplicate it. Maybe you just accidentally found a new way to do that glitch

I believe that the placing blocks in front feature is a holdout from the pocket edition days as sprint used to be held down with a button and not togglable on touch controls, which made it hard to sneak over edges to place blocks whilst holding down the sneak button at the same time. Removing it would make phone players' lives worse however given that Microsoft seems dedicated to removing useful features in the name of "parity" I highly doubt that forward placement is a lamb too sacred for them to slaughter.

All the “could come to java” *should* be made into server plugins. That way it can come to Java. In fact I’m sure some of those do exist in serverside plugin form

I can't comment on all things you mentioned, but one thing I want to say is that making some immovable objects suddenly movable by pistons could break worlds/bases/contraptions in unexpected ways. While that's a cool thing in bedrock, idk if it's a good idea to change it in Java

I don’t agree with you on savannas, as a Java player, I love the fact that they look different from normal biomes, they should be even more gold coloured, so no, I don’t want every feature coming to Java.

as a Java player, I personally prefer the bed sprites. Also I heard that on Java at very specific distances players in boats will take fall damage. I think some of them were 12 & 13 block-high drops though the rest are more spread out. Also it could've been fixed as I heard this before 1.19 released.

I like the paper doll thing, it makes me think of the old console edition so I keep it enabled because nostalgia lol

The only use for the paper doll I can think of is that it tells you if you're looking straight up/down when flying over the void in the End.

Great video man I've been having this on my mind as well happy to see someone put it out there like this

On Java, you can get invisible item frames because they’re entities. I’m not much of a Java player so I’m not sure on the specifics of how it works but this would improve the game, considering how ugly item frames look, it feels like I should just be able to hang the item I want on a wall without the ugly item frame behind it.

11:41 it has actually been very helpful in seeing which armour I have on without having to check in my inventory both on servers and in survival

Sometimes I shift while playing skywars so I can see what armour I'm wearing without having to go nto my inventory and risk a blind spot if I lag

Most people probably haven't noticed the paper doll because in instances like MCPE you have to enable it to be able to see it as it isn't enabled to start.

I’m still sad they took away vindicators from random pillager patrols on hard mode in bedrock in the name of parity. Those dudes are legit scary when they sneak up on you and losing them makes the game feel too easy.
