Minecraft Bedrock Sucks 

The single most annoying part of bedrock for me is that pausing doesn't pause the game, this caused me to lose everything on multiple occasions when I was called away by my family

Idk if this is just a bedrock issue but skeletons are insanely annoying since they own miniguns now instead of actual bows. Takes you 1 minute to get to them and they spawn constantly

The whole reason why Bedrock doesn't have Hardcore is because there are far to many glitches that will kill you than there are on Java

Feels like an insult how they push bedrock as THE Minecraft and java edition has the sub name Java Edition. The original full minecraft has a sub name and the fork off option is just Minecraft

Another nitpick, on some consoles opening your inventory will take 1-2 seconds of loading, which is extremely annoying

The most frustrating thing about bedrock to me is how easy it is to die in the loading screen when you are literally unable to do anything to prevent it Looks like they have fixed it, hooray

God I miss the console legacy editions They played phenomenally and had their own quirks that felt geared towards a console experience. The Skins, texture packs and mashup packs all had this premium feel to them and everything felt polished and smooth. Bedrock just feels ridiculously cheap by comparison

the worst part is getting killed during loading screens on console😭🙏

The main difference with lag between the two platforms is when Java lags, you know your lagging. The game freezes up and behaves as you’d expect any other program to behave when it starts lagging. Bedrock editing on the other hand still lets you move around like nothing wrong is happening, then all of a sudden you realise mobs are moving in slow motion, you can’t interact with GUIs etc. even on single player, bedrock lag is more reminiscent of server lag on Java.

11:36 fun fact: Java also used to have that same slow healing. In an update, they reworked healing and hunger so that everything across the board used up less hunger, healing used up way more, and at full hunger you healed much faster (making it closer to the beta days where food just healed hearts directly) _For reasons unknown to science,_ they incorporated every single one of these changes *except* the faster healing in bedrock edition, so on top of being painfully slow you have to constantly be eating to heal since it still drains your hunger like crazy.

The objectively worst thing in bedrock is the random mob despawning. I have lost several named mobs for no reason, including an entire village i spent hours maxing trades in. It makes it impossible to trade or farm in single player, and completely breaks the game.

As someone stuck on console, it sucks watching updates be so useless or boring. Java gets mods and hardcore. While we are stuck waiting a year for a useless mob

Mobile isn't just holding bedrock back, but is holding minecraft back in general Stuff like bundles haven't been added because bedrock devs can't figure out how to make them work on touch controls, it makes me think how much features have been delayed or scrapped because of that

I started off only on mobile because I didn't have a pc. I used to be sad that PE was always a few updates behind because all the youtubers I watched had so many cool things. But still I have fond memories of the Nether tower experience from the reactor, walking on the world boarder and countless hours spent with my sister and friends

I miss legacy edition. Console before bedrock was so fun, especially the minigames

The scummiest part is easily being able to misclick the buy button in the marketplace, it happened to me when I was scrolling through a few years ago. Can't believe its still in the game. Super scummy and 100% intentional. Its targeted towards kids too which makes it even more fucked up.

THANK YOU! Fighting endermen is truly infuriating on bedrock. Also, since mobs spawn a lot more, the nether is insufferable. Constantly getting blasted by ghasts!

I personally H A T E the marketplace I remember I accidentally bought something so I went to customer suppyand they told me "we'll refund it this one tome but no more after this" EXCUSE ME?? So not only is the marketplace extremely predatory I CANT REFUND SHIT THAT I NEVER WANTED IN THE FIRST PLACE??? The marketplace is genuinely one of the worse things to be added to this game and I will forever be extremely critical to Minecraft as a whole. My personal rule is if you have an in game currency that can only be bought with money IN A PAID GAME (so not free to play) you deserve every criticism under the sun no matter how stupid it may be.

One of the worst things on bedrock is how extremely laggy worlds become the more you progress and build stuff. Its gotten to the point where it takes almost a minute to get through the nether portal which usually results in you dying from either an enemy on the other side, or portal suffocation which is a massive problem on bedrock where you randomly start taking damage when you go through the portal for absolutely no reason at all. Also render distance isn't as great as seen in the video, on pc it might be good, but on console it takes absolute ages for chunks to load making flying in the end a death sentence, and just using the elytra in general extremely sloppy and hard since you cant see where you're going

Ive been playing bedrock since i lost my laptop three years ago. It sucks for all the reasons you mentioned plus a few other nitpicks: As someome else stated, that you cant pause the game whatsoever. The lack of hardcore kind of sucks, its very difficult to play hc on java for a decade then play on this version where i just manually delete my worlds instead. Shields are worthless in general on this version. Maybe its a skill issue or the way my controls are set up, but i dont bother with fighting a lot until i have at least an iron chest/pants or full iron armor. ALSO endermen have a chance spazz out when taking environmental damage, making it so a trip to the nether could cause you to get jumped by one for seemingly no reason.

Some stuff I wish was talked more because it's the reason i quit bedrock: - Mob spawning and despawning sucks, farms are quite hard to mantain - Pause doesn't actually pause the game - Fighting has a slight cooldown despite not having combat system - No optifine zoom unless you craft a spyglass and you're always carrying it - The nether is literally hardcore difficulty - Multiplayer servers are really restrictive and play weird

One thing you forgot to mention: Skeletons almost never miss their shots in bedrock mode. Idk why, but they seem to hit most of their shots, and they do quite a bit of damage.

I think one of the most important downsides of Bedrock edition to me is that you can't easily backtrack in versions. The entire thing with picking versions in the launcher that you can do on Java Edition just doesn't exist on Bedrock so that once you update your version, there is essentially no way back if you want to do something in an older version.

as someone who ONLY has access to bedrock, i hate it. i play single player a lot on my switch, and when you don’t have wifi connected your skins won’t load or anything, not to mention everything being extremely laggy no matter if you are connected to the internet or not. the lag is awful

I had like almost 300 hours in one of my bedrock worlds but all my villagers were despawned along with all my pets, rare mobs and mobs i used in farms. This completely demotivated me from minecraft and I still cant bring myself to play the game.

Another thing I don't like about Bedrock Edition is enemies only spawn near around you, I've never seen mobs walking as far as they do on Java, so the world feels dead and empty, especially if you're looking at an open area

The #1 reason why I prefer Java is mods. I play modded Minecraft more often than vanilla. I've played Minecraft long enough to get bored of the default and the updates are usually minor enough to make it feel fairly stagnant compared to modded (machines etc.). My concern is that it'll end up with a Bedrock-only situation where you have to pay for every mod in the manner of The Sims.

14:36 Bedrock doesn't have a Hardcore mode because there is a _very rare, mind you_ glitch that causes you to die instantly for no apparent reason.

The weirdest thing about the way bedrock water looks is that it's a stylistic choice. Not performance-related at all. In fact, it's easy to replace the water texture with the one from Java edition and disable the game-controlled transparency through a resource pack to make them look identical. (I play bedrock, this is one of the big things that bothered me lmao) They also finally fixed the enderman bug in a recent beta. Super simple fix in the enderman's entity resource file, I don't know how something so game breaking slipped by for so long.

Pausing doesn't pause No F3 No subtitles for sounds Mobs can spawn very close to you Can't spam check through my chests (Edit: I got that fixed, thanks) Can't move multiple stacks of items with shift+double click Crafting book makes it too easy to accidentally craft too much of something No duel wielding with torches Very slow regeneration (Edit: I've changed my mind, that's a good thing) Can't build on Nether roof Shield works by crouching, not right-clicking Mobs spawn stuck in trees Sounds sometimes get delayed When I travel between the Nether and the Overworld, I can't see out of the portal when I arrive (Edit: and I can take damage while still on the loading screen)

The reason hardcore isn’t on bedrock is likely because the game is so buggy that you’ll just randomly die for no reason sometimes and it would suck to have to delete your world when that happened

Annoying things on Bedrock: - Can't swap items just pressing the hotbar number key on the inventory, you have to manually drag it - Sometimes the water generates without a source but still runs, happens in caves - The lag to open the inventory GUI, that sucks and slows down a lot - Ghasts spawn everytime in the Nether, you don't have room to breathe - The horse is just annoying to ride and move around - There's a mechanic of strip placing blocks in a row, it's weird but you get used - Slimes and Magma Cubes are very aggressive, they're a real threat in Bedrock - If you have a tool with a lot of enchantments, it will pop the entire list of enchants in your face when you select that tool - For some reason it's harder to find diamonds. In Java I usually get 1 pack and half diamonds from a good cave, in Bedrock it's just 18 or little more - Crounching to hold the shield is dumb, but that's something you can get used

Everything feels delayed in Bedrock, it’s so weird. It’s like playing in a warped reiteration of Minecraft

To explain quasi-connectivity: Pistons think they're doors, but only if another block reminds them that they're doors, even though they aren't doors, so the block above them is considered part of them, and you need to update the piston for it to realize that.

I'll be honest, I think a bedrock and pocket split would be better in the long term.

the worst part is having to pay real money for better graphics aka shaders, They really didn't even try

Something that bothers a lot about Bedrock since I've been playing it FOR 8 YEARS, is that your long-term worlds get corrupted, this is super common, I see every day on Reddit posts of people showing their worlds with cut chunks, missing textures, etc. . This without even making farms that will corrupt the world itself. (Yes, there are world-corrupting gold farms in Minecraft bedrock.) The interface, not being able to play worlds for too long, and more are factors that really turned me away from Bedrock.

Mojang: "Ah, yes. We should make the most played version of this game the worst version."

The worst part about the launcher is that despite being identical, the _new_ one takes up almost twice the file space for some reason.

Playing bedrock on anything that isn't a pc really makes that "better performance" argument fall to the ground hard like my dreams of working at nasa

The inability to make a single mob farm or redstone contraption without having to google a really obscure tutorial is hell.

Fighting the wither in Bedrock isn't just hard, it's borderline impossible. It breaks blocks MUCH more easily and WAY more often than the Java wither, and every single block it breaks gets dropped. After it does its shitty dash attack a handful times near ground level, you are dealing with THOUSANDS of dropped blocks that are lagging your game.

Bedrock is has gotten worse with time. And is the MOST played version of Minecraft by far

The funny thing about 2:17 is that Java edition now has all of these things. There’s the Sodium suite of mods which drastically improves the game’s performance, Essentials, which allows you to set up friend lists and invite anyone across the world to join your single player world, and there’s also a mod/server plugin out there (that I don’t actually know the name of) that allows bedrock players to join a Java server. So there’s literally no reason to play bedrock anymore.

Having played Bedrock for 11 years and about to try and transition to Java, all of these flaws that you pointed out, I thought were normal things that happened in all of the versions of the game. (Minus offhand and mods stuff) It's pretty interesting to see the perspective of someone who has been playing Java play Bedrock.

Honestly with all the big things aside the one thing that annoys me the most consistently but overall majorly, is the fact that after closing a menu like your inventory or a chest, there's a cool down before you can open another. Seems specific, but it's annoying as hell.

My biggest problem is that Microsoft's completely capable of having Bedrock be on par with Java, they can do it right now. But they don't want to. They spend so much money making Marketplace maps and striking deals, and they have more devs working there. They could use those resources to bring complete parity to both versions of their game, but they just don't think it's worth their time, and that's infuriating. Bedrock's could be much more, and it never will (seems I got the dev part wrong, my bad, but the point largely stands)

I like bedrock edition but I exclusively play creative mode, building is faster presumably to make it less tedious for mobile/console players.

Remember when consoles had cool special editions that took advantage of the hardware?

Bedrock feels like the character is walking on ice all the time

11:56 This is actually a pretty recent change. Bedrock's water used to look as good if not arguably better then Java's, with less opaque water, more biome colors and an overall better feel. Now they look terrible with swamp biomes being the absolute worst.

Another super annoying thing that happened to me multiple times while playing bedrock, is while pillaring up, the blocks will start to glitch and sometimes push me off of the pillar I was making, causing me to die.

11:38 I'm glad you talked about this. Personally this by itself was the deal breaker for me with Bedrock. As someone who takes damage frequently, I cannot stand how slow you heal in Bedrock

one of the most immersion breaking things is not seeing rain through glass or glass panes

7:10 no joke a screenshot collage even if its random is so beautiful

I really think minecraft pe should be discontinued like legacy, or at least seperately developed from bedrock. No one plays on it and all it does is hold back bedrock from getting features like offhand.

Its still nuts that, aside from a lack of modern feature updates, console edition is STILL much more enjoyable and functionally stable than bedrock has been the entire time its been on consoles

As someone who’s mostly played bedrock, the worst thing for me is most definitely the red stone differences

One niche thing I miss bedrock gutted is limited world size, it felt pretty enjoyable to have a world with limited resources and structure, if it goes on forever, what’s the point of looking for a unique seed, you won’t have to contend with anything specific to that world aside from the spawn point. And the balancing is horrible yes, it just throws a million skeletons in every cave that turn you to cheese and they respawn in a minute. In the old versions you could accept death from your failure, here you’re always thinking wtf after you die.

why cant we just all play minecraft in our own ways, because we already know that everybody hates bedrock.

In my opinion, by far the worst thing about bedrock is that red stone is practically impossible, because at a certain point a circuit becomes too complex for the game to understand, so it just outputs a random value, instead of what you programmed it to do Edit: why are people having wars in my replies

When you showed me the ghasts, trauma came back. I'm so glad I switched to Java

What I hate most about Bedrock, is that they don't have sweeping edge, I mean, it's horrible to go and farm the mobs killing them one by one. ed: one year after this comment i still dont change my opinion, i just find it annoying af. i've been playing bedrock more and more tho, i just play normal survival without farms and that's it (still mainly java)

most of your criticisms just seem to literally be "its different than java" which is just dumb

Console editions had this fog/gamma effect that made things at distances look great and fade perfectly. Also, for players on console, the UI has been downgraded SIGNIFICANTLY. It’s slow, clunky, and even the free curser has some weird cooldown thing as you move it and stop.

I totally agree with separating bedrock and mobile it’s honestly so frustrating as someone who can not afford a powerful PC that I am locked out of so many features and changes in the Java edition. I love Minecraft but all of the minor annoyances in bedrock make me want to never touch the game and it’s such a terrible feeling of missing out on something. I really hope mojang finds a way to achieve better parity because i want to be able to play a game that I love the way it was meant to be.

The most infuriating thing for bedrock to me is PAYING MONEY FOR TEXTURE PACKS. i like experimenting with new looks of the game and now i cant do that without paying if i played bedrock.

worst part about bedrock is the feeling of movement compared to java. whole game just feels weird

One think not spoken about is the movement. In bedrock edition, theres a slight movement delay. When you stop moving, your character seems to move for a few more milliseconds, which is annoying. In java, the movement is precise

the thing i like about java is that it actually feels like a sandbox where you can do anything. but bedrock feels limited in basically every way, from chat censorship (before recently) to the horrible ui

The only thing that ticks me off about Bedrock is that you can't downgrade to previous versions from the launcher like you can Java, because I would like to go to every tutorial world without having to download maps online Edit: It was the Console Editions, not Bedrock

Bedrock: - Sucks. - Is the most convenient way to play on a budget, anywhere, and with people. Swings and roundabouts

The accidental screenshots can be very nostalgic to look through later though. Like a blink from an old world, without anything specially being showed off. 6:50

On Java, Distant Horizons is incredible It makes me feel like I'm in a continuous world

100% agree on mobile holding bedrock back hard. It was incredibly noticeable when the console versions were switched over, the quality decrease was massive. The old console versions felt very close to java edition and worked well. Bedrock as it is is awful. The missing features just because "it wouldn't work well with touch controls" are infuriating. Dual wielding is made useless and shields are a joke. I hate having to crouch to use the shield it feels so wrong. Imagine if the right stick controls were removed from super smash bros because the game can be played with a wiimote/single joycon. It's stupid. Also the laggy mobs are horrendous, I'm convinced that's a major reason why hardcore hasn't been added, it's just completely unfair. And I don't need to even get into the cancer that is the marketplace. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of cool things that bedrock has that I would love to be put in java. Accumulating snow layers, snowy leaves on trees, etc are cool. Putting potions in cauldrons is cool. But all of it is stuff that could be easily copied over and none of it makes bedrock worth playing over java. The game not having a stroke when a lot of chunks are loaded is like the ONLY thing that is a significant improvement and honestly it's just not enough.

Java player 🤝 Bedrock player "Bedrock sucks"

What always amazes me is that 4J studios made the console versions of the game in C++, yet those versions are nearly identical to the Java Edition. A different studio with only a handful of developers was able to make a better C++ version of Minecraft than Mojang could with their hundreds of developers… What an absolute EMBARRASSMENT Bedrock is. If Bedrock Edition was my son, I’d disown them. Also seriously the view bobbing in Bedrock actually made me motion sick, I do NOT get motion sick easily at all! I’ve played so SO many first person games before and none of them have view bobbing this bad.

Something I also noticed about Bedrock is that terrain generation feels very flat compared to Java

The 4J era of Minecraft imo is the best version of Minecraft. Lots of nostalgia and it worked very well.

The only problem with bedrock that isn’t a nitpick like the water looks weird is that it is almost impossible to find a good server or realm

"Let me explain whats wrong with Java edition 1. This video is sponsored by ExpressVPN" 5:20

Not being allowed to make xp farms, not allowed to build on top of the nether, only 10 endermen allowed to spawn at a time in the end, it just gets worse the longer you’re in a world.

Two things I'd personally add: 1. More varied map markers on Java - by using a banner, you can change the color of the marker and even add a text description. As far as I know, Bedrock only has nondescript green markers. It's a small thing, but I enjoy giving names to the landmarks around my base, and Java markers allow me to record them on maps. 2. Modding!!

I didn’t realize how bad it is. Wow

If I were to try to describe the difference between Java and bedrock I would say that java is more rigid and fast where bedrock is more cartoonish and slow. A great example of this would be when the game glitches out. In java mobs would most commonly either freeze or teleport whereas in bedrock they would just slowly drift instead.

The amazing thing about Java, and what truly makes it the superior version, is mods, you can fix every single issue, even performance to a pretty vast degree (sometimes better than bedrock) and you can do so much more after that

As bedrock user I completely agree with you

On behalf of bedrock players, blame mojang. I've always played this version so I'm used to it's problems. Plus I play mobile version.

The one thing I hate most about Bedrock is how it feels when you walk and then stop. It looks and feels like your character is crouching and sneaking when they walk, and when they stop they slowly and unnaturally rise up to stand, it's such an annoying little thing that I can never ignore.

8:25 a little correction to the mob spawning thing. Its not that mobs "spawn more", obviuously there is a different code in spawning. But basically, the mobs spawn closer to the player (thats why you feel there are more mobs), and thats because the despawn range in 4 chunk simulation distance is 44 blocks. And there are different mob caps like surface cap and cave cap. I dont consider it bad, its just different than java edition.

Bedrock: No Hardcore Mode, Texture packs costs money, mods costs money, can’t pause the game, can’t offhand most items, mobs’ despawning and spawning is weird, moving delays, sprint jumping in f5 looks weird, servers suck

the worst thing about bedrock for me is the hotbar UI. I don't know what it is but something about it just isn't right. If somebody showed me 2 different instances of minecraft in a 1x2 pitch black box I would be able to tell if one was in bedrock because of the godawful hotbar UI.

The reason bedrock doesnt have hardcore is because its so laggy that sometimes you just die randomly for absolutely no reason

A few bugs to note: 1. Villagers don't lose professions when you break profession block if you have relogged in the game. You have to place it again and break it again. 2. Hopper and hopper minecarts filters can't pick any items if there is another item than the corresponding item of the filter. Making water stream filter kind of use less. 3. Mobs keep glitching through solid blocks. 4. During village stacking a villager won't connect to it's bed or bell if the bed is in 5-7 blocks of another village. This wasn't the case an update ago 5. Curing a pure zombie villager doesn't give any discount to itself but to other villagers in the vicinity. 6. Beacon beam disappears if you are 50 or so blocks away.

Honestly, I would say bedrocks lack of hardcore is a good thing because of the fact that you just… randomly take damage? For no reason? I’m not sure why you didn’t cover that

The only thing I like about bedrock edition is that you can bonemeal sugarcane

As a bedrock player, I can see a lot of issues that you are stating are true. I have Java edition and I recently started giving Java another chance. There a small difference between both games, but somewhat noticeable like the combat and difficulty of mobs like the wither. Java feels very weird to me but I hope it can grow on me soon and I want to know why people like Java rather than Bedrock.

Honestly I think a large part of Bedrock's issue is that Java releases updates so constantly that the Bedrock developers have almost no time to actually polish features because they spend so much time porting new updates. Let's not forget that Java Edition is also riddled with countless bugs that have been unfixed for years, these bugs just tend to be less visible or common, and are mostly technical (which is why Java runs like shit). Minecraft has already surpassed the point where there are more bugs than features and they seriously need to consider taking a year or 2 off to fix bugs and polish both platforms. I don't care if I miss out on playing an update, I do care about having a game that is actually playable though. This issue is worse on Bedrock but Java is still built like shit and literally years behind on promised features, they need to stop for a moment and recollect. I don't think anyone will blame them or at least that anyone should.

Pocket edition was such a nice experience. All they did when making Java and bedrock editions of Minecraft, was alienate Java players and make the game less fun for Bedrock players

As a bedrock player bedrock edition does suck we do have a few good things, such as optimization for various platforms, and easily able to play across multiple platforms. And we have education edition, and idk why but we can put potions in cauldrons. Other than that, the marketplace sucks, it’s very buggy, and it’s just not well polished
