Java has more mods, better plugins for servers, better combat, and more.

Bedrock has way better crossplay, friend support, and a marketplace.

In the end it depends on what you want. Have friends from multiple different platforms? Bedrock is for you. Want a large catalog of mods? Java has it.

Personally, I'm a Java player.

java is like playing the game, bedrock on the other hand feels like a construction kinda game that has more features but just, not good enough.
does anyone understand?

Started with java (and greatly dislike games with microtransactions / pay-for-content schticks).

All of my brothers prefer bedrock. I asked them why and they said: "Just because."

Java because it is more customisable and eveything except from realms and the game itself are free and there are more keyboard shortcuts.

Java, because mc bedrock is filled with microtransactions (it's gonna be a pay to win in the future years i think) and less customisable with mods, maps, etc.

I enjoy Java for single-player and multiplayer servers, but Bedrock for playing with other family members.

Bedrock is good for accessibility (to the base game), while Java is great for that step beyond (expanded community through multiplayer and customising the entire experience through plugins, modding and texture packs).

I prefer Java because I probably enjoy modding the game more than I enjoy playing it.

java existed for longer and feels more polished
and you have more creative freedom imo

java :)

I used to play bedrock but it's just so glitchy.
Also, it's so hard to update bedrock- but like thebaum64 said,
bedrock has great cross-platform features.

here we go again

wow this is my first poll but it got some good views and I also prefer java because its on more devices you are more likely to play and the mods and even though i don't have a official account my brother shares his so I'm planning to get one in the near future hopefully this year 👍☺

I prefer PS3 edition to both.

I only ever used Java, I forgot to claim the free Bedrock,.

seriously, both are fine, it just depends on what you want to do

Java is prefered but bedrock is great due to the cross platform compatibility

Java has more Mods and Texturepacks, but bedrock is much smoother than java

You can also download frikin maps on bedrock Marketplace, but it costs really much Minecoins. No wonder why you never get Minecoins lol.

But java has Shaders, NOT FOR MY CRAPPY PC BRUH
You can combat better in Java, i lose everytime in PvP in bedrock.

for me the hand in java is much better as bedrock. in bedrock i hate the hand . WHAT IS WRONF WITH ME-

But i am a Java Player, Only play Bedrock On Phone and Switch. Rare on Bedrock for PC . IDK WHY I HATE BEDROCK :/

Gracias por mas votos de java que bedrock porque yo uso java y tiene mejores mods y shaders que bedrock (aveces)

From what I've researched so far.. people do prefer bedrock or java for some unknown reason 🤔
