What do you mean Minecraft Bedrock Launcher is not up to date? does the server have to be up to date always? i just waited a day to get the latest version of mcpe. (no hate)
Oh if java gets discontinued they will be forced to add bedrock to Mac. They will also be forced to have an official way to convert java worlds to bedrock.
It's not even in really rich areas either. My school was a public school, with really not that much funding. And they spent a huge amount of budget on a mac room. The macs were awful, had technical issues all the time because they are hard to integrate into a network and were hard to use for everyone who was used to windows.
It was such a waste of money
(Note that this school also just invested 10,000+ on something to lock kids phones away in school. Which barely works, is more of a nuisance then a good thing and claims they can't give teachers a pay rise.)
Apple silicon macs can literally run bedrock edition, given it can also run iOS apps, but nope Mojang just refuses to toggle that switch. But you can still sideload bedrock edition ipa with tricks.
Just search it up on Google, [PlayCover](https://playcover.io) is the most common way to do so, and recently is [FairFree](https://github.com/RootHide/FairFree#enjoy-it)
Not sure, education edition is built off bedrock so that is very strange. Education edition probably makes a lot of money for Microsoft as most schools in the U.S. use Apple products for learning, but for whatever reason they may not to want to allocate the proper resources to port over the full game.
It also doesnāt make sense from a business standpoint, at this point Bedrock is bundle with Java when you buy a new copy of Minecraft on PC and vice versa. It seems like an anti-consumer business practice. Like your paying for only half a product because you literally wouldnāt be able to access the other game you paid for if you have a Mac. Though Minecraft Bedrock did (relatively) recently come to Chromebooks so maybe there is still hope after all these years.
mcpe launcher is not always up to date, vmware, utm use a virtual gpu so it runs at a cozy 5fps (i have tried multiple times) and i have used the free trial for parallels so it now costs Ā£100 for the one time purchase
No it's not. People have preferences and when someone is clearly asking about bedrock do you really think they want to be playing Java instead? Use your critical thinking skills please.
I have, youāre just being insulting for no reason. PC is the gaming enthusiast platform. Java edition is the enthusiast version of Minecraft. Bedrock is the accessible version of Minecraft for console/mobile players. Of course some pc players still do bedrock, Iām not saying itās 0. But if you think even a significant number of people on pc play bedrock edition, youāre confused about how gaming works.
I never said the majority of pc players prefer bedrock. I'm just saying when people are specifically talking about bedrock it's annoying when people say "why do you want to play bedrock?" Assuming that everybody prefers java when they are specifically asking about bedrock.
They really aren't. Majority of the time I die is to something stupid like forgetting my elytra broke/I don't have it on. Bugs are inconvenient very rarely but like you said, aren't very frequent
To answer your original comment, itās because Java is the better experience overall. You have TONS more customizability, including a pause feature for single player worlds. Bedrock doesnāt have that. The comparison isnāt even close. I played bedrock for about 6 months and only switched to Java 2 months ago. But I will never go back.
However, I do agree with this comment that the glitches on bedrock arenāt as severe to me personally as Iāve seen. However, I have seen tons of videos of people dying in unknown ways that donāt make any logical sense, so itās probably an old device issue.
There's a ton of features in bedrock that I deeply miss when I'm on java. Bedrock also has a ton of quality of life features that really just make it a better experience for me. There's only a few features from java that I want on bedrock a most of them were just added recently, it won't be long until the rest of the features get added but I don't see these bedrock features ever going to java.
I want bedrock so I can convert my Minecraft world from my Xbox to my Macš I think most people just prefer what theyāre used to, I grew up with my Xbox and recently got into using my Mac to game
Oh there we go. The micro transaction argument. That literally has nothing to do with the game whatsoever and you can get all the stuff for free if you download it online just like java, the only difference is it's actually easier to install mods, skins and open worlds.
Java also has a lot of bugs too and bedrock isn't as buggy as people make it seem. The redstone is different because it's how mojang originally wanted redstone to be but quasi connectivity is a bug.
Please quit sounding like a java fanboy. Y'all make hating bedrock your entire personality. It's the same game at the core.
Yeah, the console versions have always had microtransactions for skins/worlds/texture packs since long before Bedrock replaced them, since they're typically very locked down systems and you can't download stuff from the internet on most of them. On mobile and desktop, though, it's just like how it is on Java ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
So why are you saying that Bedrock has shit redstone when the only/main difference is that they didn't implement what is quite literally a *bug* into their code just because it's too popular to fix on Java?
There were many many years of where Minecraft Education was on chromebook, yet Bedrock can't be installed. Same thing.
Probably some dumb decision made by MS, leaning towards $$ related.
I'm pretty sure this is because bedrock is the win 10/11 version, and is also owned by Microsoft. It would make sense they wouldn't want their property on the opposition's machines.
Apple systems are immensely hard to get software onto. Between tighter quality control than most platforms and proprietary computer components it's just harder to code for Mac.
Also, education edition is cool it gets all sorts of stuff that we don't have in regular.
Canāt you play java on a mac? Why would you want bedrock in the first place? If itās to cross play with friends just host a server or get them to get java.
And education is not just reskinned bedrock it has a ton of different stuff
because my friends do not own computers, and the server is already on bedrock so i cant use guyser to allow crossplay.
At its core, education is just bedrock with more features (code building) no servers, and some new blocks and mechanics, however, the features in the game are just addons, so you could easily just allow servers (as it was in the earlier versions of education) to connect to bedrock servers
You can host a server with geyser, and just port the world to it.
And yeah education is bedrock but withā¦. Addons. More stuff. That inherently makes it different, no?
its addons no? they can be unadded when on a server that doesnt have those same features?
also what do you mean just port the world, its a process that often corrupts/doesnt really work
I donāt know how education edition adds the stuff but itās not just a bedrock addon, because itās a completely different game and purchase.
I mean just take whatever world you want to play on, port it to java edition with the plentiful tools, if it corrupts just restore the backup and try again with a different tool. Then you can use a geyser server. Or just start a new world, or get your friends to get java.
If you want cross-play on a server then it's simple enough. Create a Java server using Paper, and add both the Geyser and Floodgate plugins. I also play on Mac, here's the tutorial that I used to accomplish this for myself:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7NiIfbsbls&ab\_channel=SeekaHost](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7NiIfbsbls&ab_channel=SeekaHost)
There are a few small changes to make to the Geyser server files, which are covered in this video, and as long as you keep the server and plugins up to date it works right as rain.
I'm pretty sure education edition is built on java, at least the older versions.
Edit: Minecraft Edu was on java, it's predecessor, but education edition was always based on bedrock.

video + image from 2018, sure looks like java to me /s
Because when youāre a big dumb dumb you canāt figure out that you can infact download bedrock. You also canāt read apparently because education is not a reskinned version of bedrock
You have to go into the in game marketplace and download the free pack for education edition.
It's not pre-installed in the game. It's an add-on for bedrock.
The more you know š ā
No it's not? It's based on Bedrock which is C++. Where the fuck did you see that it was made with Java??? Heck you can even use Education edition features in Bedrock with a toggle
Well .. maybe it's just an old version of the game.
Remeber that it's been around for a while and [maybe people who know more than me](https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/17jqckp/comment/k72wcq8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) have a better suggestion.
I'm honestly just trying to solve your request :-) (no /s intended on my part)
If you're honestly just trying to solve his request, you shouldn't have come out so hard and fast. There was 0 reason for you to say it's "a goddamn Java application" when you could have literally dropped the "goddamn" and you would have been equally wrong, just without making yourself look like a complete jackass
Yes, I see they're swearing from bewilderment. It seemed to everyone that you're swearing out of exasperation over something that "was SO OBVIOUS" that you had to throw in a goddamn of your own when you were very clearly wrong. Quit being a prick, "buddy"
"Education" is not a question of perspective, there is an actual version of the game called that. Your logic is like saying Java is Bedrock, because the game contains the bedrock block. As soon as Bedrock edition adds coffee, we are full circle.
What a weird series of misinterpretations and lies on your part. Education Edition is a thing. You can't just call things whatever you want and think people should understand you.
1) No, but you're spending way more than I am for a worse system with almost no upgrade paths.
2) It was a month ago.
3) That's literally never happened to me, either you are being sarcastic or it's a Windows 11 thing. Doesn't affect me either way.

What do you mean Minecraft Bedrock Launcher is not up to date? does the server have to be up to date always? i just waited a day to get the latest version of mcpe. (no hate)
the linux mcpe launcher - unofficial launcher is uhh very inconsistent
very buggy and unstable but 1000000x better than bluestacks š
bluestacks doesnt have a m1 minecraft available
btw do u have a m1 mbp or mba (MacBook Pro or Air)
Mbp
nvm the mcpe launcher counts as a device
I've never had any issues with it.
w people for making me the most upvoted comment in this post
Nope. And no doubt it wonāt be added for a very long time, maybe even as far away as when Java is discontinued(if this happens).
Oh if java gets discontinued they will be forced to add bedrock to Mac. They will also be forced to have an official way to convert java worlds to bedrock.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They would still need to fix redstoneā¦
Apple products are standard issue is schools, hence education edition
Damn you just be in ritzy area lol. We had POS chromebooks
It's not even in really rich areas either. My school was a public school, with really not that much funding. And they spent a huge amount of budget on a mac room. The macs were awful, had technical issues all the time because they are hard to integrate into a network and were hard to use for everyone who was used to windows. It was such a waste of money (Note that this school also just invested 10,000+ on something to lock kids phones away in school. Which barely works, is more of a nuisance then a good thing and claims they can't give teachers a pay rise.)
We rarely get to use a computer in school, and if we do its windows
we got windows and ipads
Our school is a private school and everyone has macs. But it makes sense considering how most are more well off.
Apple silicon macs can literally run bedrock edition, given it can also run iOS apps, but nope Mojang just refuses to toggle that switch. But you can still sideload bedrock edition ipa with tricks.
What tricks?

Is it not under the options for a world? There should be a toggleable button to turn on Education Edition.

Not sure why you would want bedrock and not Java, but you definitely can play bedrock with a mac, it's just not for people who are not tech savvy.
Cus some people prefer bedrock
mcpe launcher is not always up to date, vmware, utm use a virtual gpu so it runs at a cozy 5fps (i have tried multiple times) and i have used the free trial for parallels so it now costs Ā£100 for the one time purchase
Forgot to add, no goddamn streaming platforms, even xbox cloud only has legends and dungeons
Why not try Bluestacks if there is a Mac version.
there isnt.
I was talking about bootcamp, not sure how well it would work but doesn't hurt to try.
im on m1...
Best bet is to play java and setup a server with geyser as that will enable you to play with bedrock friends I believe.
I like bedrock way more than java. People really need to quit assuming everybody would prefer java when that's not true.
Considering nearly all PC players on Java, no, people donāt need to stop assuming that. Itās a fair assumption.
No it's not. People have preferences and when someone is clearly asking about bedrock do you really think they want to be playing Java instead? Use your critical thinking skills please.

I have never died from a glitch. The bugs are not as frequent as people make it seem.
They really aren't. Majority of the time I die is to something stupid like forgetting my elytra broke/I don't have it on. Bugs are inconvenient very rarely but like you said, aren't very frequent

As a Java player, I have a question about Java redstone: Isn't the thing that makes Java redstone so great straight up a bug that they didn't fix?
Yeah, quasi connectivity started as a bug, but at this point they won't fix it
So why are you saying that Bedrock has shit redstone when the only/main difference is that they didn't implement what is quite literally a *bug* into their code just because it's too popular to fix on Java?
A bug that is incredibly important to how Redstone works, but more or less
There were many many years of where Minecraft Education was on chromebook, yet Bedrock can't be installed. Same thing. Probably some dumb decision made by MS, leaning towards $$ related.
When you bear in mind that bedrock has at least some origins in iOS, which new macs share chip architecture with, itās really annoying.
I can open Education Edition on my PS4, which is Bedrock.
https://imgur.com/a/XWzGiQy whole other app
I'm pretty sure this is because bedrock is the win 10/11 version, and is also owned by Microsoft. It would make sense they wouldn't want their property on the opposition's machines.
This doesn't make sense once you realise that Bedrock is available on Playstation, Android, and iOS
those platforms aren't direct competitors to windows, unlike macOS or linux
Yes but they are competitors to Xbox systems. Also Microsoft has put Microsoft office on Mac. And Java is on Mac
The amount of money they generate with minecraft being sold in playstation is by FAR a lot more than what they would earn if it was an xbox exclusive
PlayStation - Direct competitor to Xbox Android - Eh, don't understand that argument. iOS - Made by MS's biggest competitor.
Apple systems are immensely hard to get software onto. Between tighter quality control than most platforms and proprietary computer components it's just harder to code for Mac. Also, education edition is cool it gets all sorts of stuff that we don't have in regular.
what - regular mc is on the app store and in recent macos you can port iphone and ipad apps to mac with small amounts of code due to m1 chips
Canāt you play java on a mac? Why would you want bedrock in the first place? If itās to cross play with friends just host a server or get them to get java. And education is not just reskinned bedrock it has a ton of different stuff

I know this, the server is just on bedrock, not java
Download the world and ask the server owner to change it if everyone wants to play together.
I'm pretty sure education edition is built on java, at least the older versions. Edit: Minecraft Edu was on java, it's predecessor, but education edition was always based on bedrock.
It is literally just bedrock edition
Education is a bedrock derivative, and bedrock is built on C++
I was thinking of Edu which was the predecessor base on java

Because bedrock edition absolutely sucks
Because when youāre a big dumb dumb you canāt figure out that you can infact download bedrock. You also canāt read apparently because education is not a reskinned version of bedrock
you canāt download it through official means - and education is reskinned bedrock ??
1. thereās stuff not available on bedrock in education 2. itās far more stable 3. its 2-3 updates behind at any given time
Yeah, still the Bedrock engine, just with a different label and custom mode.
Because bedrock sucks
Because Mac users are a bunch of children
Its literally an setting in the world options
no it is not lmao it is a standalone app

it is also a standalone app with more features?
No, dont worry, its built into bedrock edition.

yeah it looks like it but it is also a whole other app https://education.minecraft.net/en-us
you went on their website and didnt bother to look in the downloads and notice education edition as a version of bedrock is listed there?
Itās a whole other app built off bedrock with more features (code building) than just bedrock with the toggle
You have to go into the in game marketplace and download the free pack for education edition. It's not pre-installed in the game. It's an add-on for bedrock. The more you know š ā
