    Sounds like the bedrock-only part is just a visual update. If you’re on Java you already have access to shaders.

    But still - fuck MS for making bedrock a totally separate game so they could avoid giving alpha buyers free in app purchases.

      I for one am happy they didn’t twist the original game into the bullshit that bedrock edition has become.

      But they gave all bedrock players who bought it from minecraft.net java edition for free and are now selling both games

      Also, bedrock edition was created years before microsoft bought mojang

      The in-app purchases are obviously bad and mojang tried making bedrock edition the “official” version, but there were reasons other than money that the 2 versions were separated

    Lame, play Luanti (free and open source)

    https://www.luanti.org/

    The Voxelibre mod is probably what you want to start with if you want to have a Minecraft+ like survival experience.

    Edit You can download Luanti from F-droid too… as in the Android store!!! The touch screen controlsk work great on a phone and I am pretty sure you can use a gamepad if you want too. Luanti/Voxelibre multiplayer servers thus are actually kind of awesome social hangout chatroom-esque spaces that are very chill and low pressure. Also… most of them that say they are family friendly are serious in their moderation around it (though of course, if you are a parent don’t count on it being 100% perfect at screening out annoying people).
