TBQH "Mac edition" aka Java edition is the version most experienced gamers want, maybe unless all your friends are on bedrock already. Java edition has all the good mods, including mods that add content and mods which just provide QoL fixes to the vanilla experience. Bedrock players can join Java edition servers if the Java server is running the geyser mod, so if your server admin knows what he's about your bedrock edition friends can still play with everybody else (hence the above maybe.)
- myko 4y agoTotally agree with this, though even with Geyser Bedrock players are second class citizens (some mods don't translate well to Bedrock clients, e.g., furniture mods). Java is the better way to play Minecraft generally, which is unfortunate because the performance is still really bad.
- stametseater 4y agoThe performance gap definitely exists, but at least it has narrowed a bit with recent releases. Particularly, with the 1.18 release Java edition finally separated render distance and simulation distance. Bedrock edition (and java edition mods like spigot) had this already for years, but before 1.18 in Java edition you couldn't turn up your render distance without also increasing the number of chunks your game was simulating. For single player (where the chunk processing is happening on your computer, not the server), this makes a huge difference.
