      I want to know because I hear both positives and negatives for both of them and I want to know the general consensus.

        @loginjokeson the general consensus is there is more freedom in java one of the negatives for java is it can be more buggy and its hard to just play with your friends privately without having to own and or run a server and for bedrock you have less freedom to do things while its easier to play privately with friends

            @loginjokeson if you go to Microsoft store and get the launcher for bedrock and java edition
            it costs about $40 USD its pretty good deal for both instead of paying for both individually i also have both so hit me up if you're looking for someone to play with!

              The prevailing viewpoint suggests that Java offers greater freedom. However, a drawback of Java is its potential for increased bugs, and the challenge of setting up a private server to play with friends. On the other hand, Bedrock provides fewer liberties for customization, but it offers easier private gameplay with friends. Adding a distinctive perspective, it's worth noting that the flexibility-tradeoff dynamic influences the choice between Java and Bedrock.

                Alright I'm going to end it here and say both versions. Oh and @deadshot222224 I'll be sure to hit you up for multiplayer but your probably gonna have to pay for realms. Not right now obviously but still when I feel like playing Minecraft on a server I'll hit you up.

                  Hello
                  If you prioritize modding and customization, go for Minecraft Java Edition. If you want cross-platform play and smoother performance, opt for Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Both are great options, so choose based on your preferences.

                      @kristinaclark Considering the latest version, Minecraft 1.20.31.01, your choice between Java Edition and Bedrock Edition depends on your preferences and platform. Java Edition is renowned for its extensive modding community, exclusive features, and vibrant multiplayer servers, making it ideal for those who enjoy customization and a robust online experience. On the other hand, Bedrock Edition offers cross-platform play, including consoles and mobile devices, and is generally more optimized for performance. To decide, weigh your priorities – if mods and community-driven content are crucial, go for Java; if seamless cross-play and performance are more important, opt for Bedrock. Ultimately, both versions have their merits, so consider your playstyle and the features that matter most to you.
