To be fair, Bedrock replaced a lot of stilted, proprietary console versions of the game. It doesn’t stack up against Java, but it’s the best version on every platform that doesn’t have Java as an option.
The legacy console editions were far better than Bedrock imo. They were actually made for a console instead of porting a mobile version to console
Nintendo Switch Edition was absolutely my favorite, and now you can only play it if you had a copy before they took it off the marketplace.
Apparently the Switch version runs so shity on the Switch, people hacked the Switch and put Linux on it and ran the game in the emulator (that Nintendo seems to hate) which had better performance than running natively in the Switch OS. Maybe that’s more of a knock against Nintendo however.
Are you talking about Bedrock edition on the Switch, because that I believe? It's a complete shitshow and all anyone can purchase anymore on the Switch. I am talking about pre-Bedrock, Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition. It had none of the issues that they have introduced with Bedrock. And in my opinion the fishing mechanic on the Switch Edition was awesome. It just felt right.
This video describes a dumper / cloner. At about 5:18 it demonstrates Minecraft running on Linux via an emulator (he who shall not be named) on the Switch with better performance than natively on the Switch. I’m not sure if it’s Bedrock or Java edition. He also said the performance increases are across the board (I think or at least not limited to Minecraft).
Yeah, that is bedrock edition, and it's crazy how poorly it runs on the Switch natively. It has just gotten progressively worse as we go along. Each update comes with a new batch of shit that doesn't work. For instance, you used to be able to drop out of the game and go to your screenshots on the Switch, then pop back into the game. If you do that now, it immediately disconnects you from the realm or any network connected instance when you pop out of the game. I have disconnected from a lot of games by accidentally hitting the wrong button when I meant to just take a screenshot. It didn't do that in the past, but they fucked it up one update and have just never bothered to fix it. And they obviously aren't doing any kind of thorough testing as that would have come up. They just ignore their Jira ticketing system.
The version I prefer isn't available anymore, and the only way you can play it is if you had it originally as it has been removed from the store. If your account doesn't have the Switch edition, you are out of luck because they insisted that bedrock had to be the only one available, so Switch Edition had development halted and then eventually wiped from the store. Sucks, because that version was so much better as far as performance and gameplay goes.
I’ve played Minecraft on a ton of devices, phones, tablets, Switch, Steam Deck, Mac, PC. I think my best experience is Java on Steam Deck.
Every platform that doesn't have Java? So like none of them??
@burgersc12 @aeronmelon Java may launch on pretty much any platform, but try running the Java version on any low end hardware, on base model consoles, on older smartphones, performance will absolutely tank
