Is valkyrien skys on nintendo

[tulip sierra]

Is It

[narrow sleet]

is java on nintnendo

[brittle bluff]

no

[tulip sierra]

yes

[tulip sierra]

ok thanks

[soft lance]

No its not, the switch (assuming this is the nintendo console you are talking about) uses minecraft bedrock

[tulip sierra]

then why do i hhave java

[ocean cobalt]

Does your main menu look like A or B or maybe C (which was discontinued a while ago)

anyway even if you do somehow have Java on Nintendo, there’s no easy way to mod stuff on a switch

[plucky shadow]

More like how

[soft lance]

Imagine they have minecraft java on the nintendo 3ds

[hybrid swallow]

no

even if you installed java on your nintendo switch, you will probably still have library issues

[soft lance]

like people who try to run VS on phones

[plucky shadow]

Lowkey every time I see someone ask if a mod is on pocket edition, I die little more inside

Like sure they’re like 5 they don’t know the difference between Java and bedrock but it still hurts

[soft lance]

I mean
Meh
I don't like bugrock edition, even the thing it does best (optimizing) its not doing it great

And the fact that mojang/microsoft try to promote this version, even tho they often use java for promotions and stuff is just cringe at this point

but I guess it cost less to add more slop to the bedrock market than actually solving the bugs that plagues bedrock edition

People just being clueless about it and the java edition is a consequence of that, we can't expect everyone to have technical knowledge about the game

[ocean cobalt]

Java hardcore: nooo baby zombie
Bedrock hardcore: god… didn’t like me?

I honestly just think bedrock is kinda sad

Like it’s clearly Microsoft’s priority and with all the micro purchases, but I honestly think Java is more aligned to the vision of Minecraft

[soft lance]

Yeahhh sometimes theses bugs are wild
It just feels like a randomizer, where the game decides that you have played enough and tries to find a random thing to make you die

[ocean cobalt]

And my personal opinion is that mojang still has some control over Java, but bedrock is basically just controlled by Microsoft

[soft lance]

It is, and it always was
And Java could be so much better if they put as much effort into it
At least they are still providing cool stuff for java, and not completely abandoning it so its great

[soft lance]

I agree

It do feel like that

[ocean cobalt]

Yeah like the new component changes, while being annoying to update to, are gonna revolutionise datapacks in the future

[soft lance]

yup

The fact that a lot of stuff is data driven

[ocean cobalt]

Just unfortunate the Java code is so old that it’s hard to improve

[soft lance]

That is also true
Plus Java has its limits

[ocean cobalt]

(Or that they don’t have enough time/resources to do so)

[soft lance]

And old ass OpenGL does not help either

Imagine if we could have true ray tracing in Minecraft Java, and not the post processing stuff that "rtx shaders" do

that would be insane
And of course low end computers would benefit from it too, because modern APIs like Vulkan or D3D12 are so much more adapted

for modern GPUs

[ocean cobalt]

Also the Minecraft community loves to complain about updates, but in comparison to like every other AAA game out there, Minecraft’s entirely free updates atleast once a year are kinda crazy, no matter how boring or unnecessary they are

[ocean cobalt]

Yeah that would be insnae

[soft lance]

Honestly I don't complain about the updates, exactly because of that lol

we get free updates, and even if there is not a lot of new stuff content wise there is often cool things happening on the technical side

[short jackal]

Just buy a PC lol

[plucky shadow]

Honestly we really take free content updates for granted lol

Like a lot of other AAA games will only release required updates for fixing bugs or stuff
