Is it just me or does it feel smoother? Because even with mods I’ve never been able to get java to run without some level of jankiness. I have a realm server I share with friends entirely because of the ability to have mods work and gameplay to be smooth.

If I’m wrong about this, would be nice to know how you get Java to run smoothly, I miss Mystcraft.

    Bedrock has always run smoother than Java. That’s just a result of the game being rewritten by more experienced coders and it being in c++. The only thing we can do with Java is mod it but you said you already tried that

    There are some functional differences, which you might want to look up (e.g. redstone isn’t deterministic afaik, so if you use complex redstone you might want to rethink). Also I’ve heard the servers have very poor performance.

      Eh, I never liked redstone. Everything else except Creepers was based on either reality or mythology. Redstone is just… Ugh.

      Any recommendations for a good “realistic” replacement for redstone? Electricity, pneumatics/hydraulics, or even magic runes?

    There’s a nasty server desync issue on Bedrock that they haven’t managed to squash yet. It means that you’re not seeing what is really happening, and can suddenly die as a result.

    There’s a reason Bedrock’s nickname is “Bugrock”.

    Personally, I find Java + Fabulously Optimised modpack to be smooth enough.

    Bedrock is smoother and more optimised in some aspects- mainly the rendering, like better frame rates and better render distance. However the benefits in performance kinda end there
