yeah java minecraft (NOT BEDROCK) is great, you can mod the shit out of it too on a pc.
You can get them both with the one license now, so you don't have to pick. I like having the 2 options available and I don't let my kids buy anything on the bedrock one where they have the Minecoin BS to buy stuff. They only have real money (paper) and no digital-compatible methods to pay for anything.
But the mods on Java edition are excellent, and the fact that it runs on any computer OS is a big plus. I can't recommend anything more than Minecraft for a kids' game.
I never understood the "Minecraft Bedrock was made so it could run everywhere" argument. Like, wasn't Java's moto "Write once, run everywhere"? Why settle for a garbage version of the original, when the original can run on every computational device made within the last decade?
When Java was made, nobody guessed that a phone or console would ever be as powerful as a PC. "Everywhere" really meant "Everywhere powerful enough (just PCs)."
Could MC Java be ported to a phone? Yes, but C++ is just so much more efficient for a small device.
Well, considering most android apps are written in Java (mostly Kotlin, but it uses the JVM still), I guess it could.
However, Bedrock is vastly inferior in terms of quality, and performance is not an excuse for it.
How does this work? I have a Minecraft Bedrock license for my Playstation, can I somehow get a Minecraft Java license from this too?
You should be able to see the license in your Microsoft account. I think everyone got both licenses sometime earlier this year.
