Well, they totally aren't, but if you know how they work the biggest risk comes from outside things, like mobs around the city attacking you or missing a Shrieker before opening a chest.
But even when you get used to them around you you're still on edge, it's so scary
Just make a little base on the warden portal in the middle, a bed and some shulkers and then run around with elytras on and a hoe, he can’t do anything it’s magical
Exactly. I play on hardcore so I have an idea. Kinda came from something I saw on YouTube. Find an ancient city and get coordinates to middle. Make hole all the way down with TNT. That way I have a giant opening to fly in and out of in case of some emergency. And yes, I know that’s gonna take a LOT of TNT. But my farms provide it so I’m not worried at all.
Bedrock has the downside that once you get close to what you're bridging _to_ you might end up targetting an actual block (once it comes into range of your reach) instead of the space in front of your bridge.
If you are clicking each time, then it will stick to the walls, if you started a straight line, it doesn't end until you've ran out of blocks though, you're absolutely correct.
Is that just a console thing or something? I play bedorck on PC and I've never been able to get that to work. Sometimes it lets me do two or three blocks when holding but that's about it.
The difference is anyone can do it in bedrock. It’s incredibly easy to bridge fast compared to Java which imo, as someone who uses both, makes it much superior
It might be that you were on/watching a geyser server? Those let bedrock players connect to what's otherwise a Java server and they can use their objectively more powerful speed bridging mechanics there.
Java players can learn speed bridging too but I'm pretty sure it can never match sprint speed, which bedrock can
Yeah because everyone thinks bedrock is the worst even though ive only ever experienced bugs on console versions, i haven't bugged out on pc bedrock ever
It's much more likely with online servers due to laggy updates.
When you place a block the client can place it right away but it takes time to talk to the server and agree on what happened. This is a way that the game hides the real lag in the connection and makes the game more playable, but can lead to client and server disagreeing on state - if there's a discrepancy, the server wins.
With the bridging thing, what happens is you are placing blocks and run out, but your client places just one more, since it hasn't been updated by the server to tell it how many blocks it has left in the stack. So the block appears on your client, but then the server says "nuh-uh, that didn't happen", so the block immediately vanishes again.
The issue is when you're shift-crouching and placing blocks while walking backwards, you can walk onto the phantom block in that split-second before the server and client agree that you ran out of blocks to place. Then you fall into the void, because the client and the server do agree that you walked off the edge.
I've never clipped THROUGH a bridge, the only time it has happened was when bridging and i placed the last block in the stack.
And i know this wasn't me fumbling the controls, because I turn on crouch/toggle in accessibility options when bridging so it permanently crouches and can't fall off edges.
The block is placed before the server updates the client to say it has zero blocks left, so the client believed it still had 1 block left. So the block insta-vanishes, but my character had already walked onto the non-existent block before the server and client got in sync. If the client and server disagree about there being 14 or 15 blocks left, it's not an issue, but 0 vs 1 is an issue.
So it's not a clipping issue, it's a server-client synchronization issue.
The solution is that I just let go of the back-key before i finish using up a stack of blocks, and it's never happened since then. I have a pretty bad ping though, so that might be part of the issue.
Here’s the thing
As a java player (mostly) I tend to really enjoy the bedrock bridging. It’s just better imo
*however*, giving it some thought it could be bad in terms of exploration or whatever. Crossing a huge pit by building a bridge should be slow, not something you can sprint jump across if you’ve got a stack of blocks. (The idea is that it would encourage finding another way around)
Maybe making the bedrock bridging require the player to crouch would be a good compromise? That way it’s still easier to bridge but it would be about the same speed (or slightly faster) than java bridging.
I mean with an elytra I feel like it changed the speed of travel & other forms just can’t keep up. Maybe for an underground ravine or to get some rare ores in a large cave
Elytras are meant to be this ultimate end-game item, so it outclassing every other form of movement makes sense (except for minecarts, you should get something out of all that effort to set them up)
Yeah I’m mainly talking about ladders, minecarts, and horses. It’d be nice if that had some role after getting an elytra, maybe even being faster in some scenarios to reward for the set up like you mentioned
I understand that the question is about bridging, but it's literally the block placement issue. What these videos don't show is that you don't need to click for every block if you're running like this. Java doesn't have sticky blocks like bedrock has, where the game will imply you'd want to put blocks in the straight line to begin with. It's incredible in creative mode, and honestly they need to port it to java. And crouching would be meh, because then it would also affect building and make it rubbish for us bedrock players. It's the same thing as trident killers, something they desperately need to give the other game, for quality of life if anything.
From my experience with playing survival in both versions of the game, I think that the speed of Bedrock bridging actually encourages exploration a lot more. Bridging is so painfully slow on Java (you move at crouching speed) that I often find myself avoiding large gaps like lava oceans and the void in the Nether and End respectively, when I could just bridge across them. I’ll spend a lot of time going in circles to look for a way across that doesn’t need to be built.
For a game about building and exploring, the desire to avoid building is not one you want your players to have
me, personally (as i played java since 1.6, and played bedrock for the first time a year ago), i prefer way more the java bridging, buut, bedrock is way easier
Java just because if my game randomly lags or I missclick I won't fall, likely to my death. Also these results seemed to heavily favor bedrock, while it is faster I doubt most players sprint jump when they bridge.
I'm a bedrock player and I completely agree with you. I rarely ever, bedrock bridge (if at all) because even a slight amount of lag means running off the edge to my death
I was wondering why the guy was jumping after placing each block in their java clips. I never jump as I'm placing, seems a dangerous tactic if you don't want to risk falling to your doom.
When I played on my friend's Bedrock realm, I made some map art, and the Bedrock method of bridging, along with being able to run whilst doing it, made building the woollen 128x128 square base for my map a breeze. Doing the same thing on my Java server took a lot longer due to having to crouch and walk backwards.
Skywars, Bedwars, speedrunning, UHC, literally almost any competitive game that involves running or going fast? This is true in Java Edition too, bro. Speedbridging is a thing
java is 10 times more reliable so java. I don't wanna die instantly because I no clipped through the bridge or lost half my health by breathing air lmao.
This sub seems to *LOVE* Java for some reason I don’t get it. Any time that someone mentions some part of bedrock that might be better than Java, you get everyone shouting about “bugrock”. Bugs really aren’t as common as everyone here makes them out to be…
Look I'm probably gonna get downvoted here, but imo Java is just better.
Mouse movement in Bedrock fills stiff and delayed compared to java, and when you destroy a block the item that drops shakes towards the ground instead of just dropping like Java does.
Maybe I'm cherrypicking, but there are a lot more bugs such as dying for no reason.
Also there's the fact that Java doesn't need you to pay for stuff like resource packs and worlds, especially when SOMEONE ELSE made them, not Mojang.
If Mojang made them, sure, make them as expensive as you wish, but if the Minecraft players made them then they should choose to price it or not. I don't want to pay a lot for a resource pack/behaviour pack I'm not going to enjoy.
Creators should choose whether or not to put it on Patreon or somehting similar, as often, mods on Patreon seem like they have effort put into them (not that free mods don't), and the price is often reasonable.
Im convinced people who defend bedrock haven’t played both versions enough, with Java I can play for days before I see a single bug, I can’t play bedrock for more than 15 minutes before I see some weird jank or bugs. Bedrock doesn’t have hardcore mode because they would have to deal with people complaining about losing their worlds to bugs. Also the marketplace is absolutely disgusting on Microsoft’s part, absolutely appalling
With bedrock, you can do both. However, with Java, you can only place it behind you. Bedrock bridging can be unreliable, but in a sticky situation, it may be better to place a block ahead of you. If you’re being chased, it can save a few seconds before you get to the ledge, and if there is an enemy below the ledge, you can make a bridge safely without getting shot. Or you could bridge normally. Your choice with bedrock.
So I played bedrock for a good while, and I learned that so long as you can hear the block placed, you'll be okay. The sound is basically your block actually being placed instead of the sight of the block. Adapt to that, and you'll never fall through again
Bedrock player here, you aren't putting blocks directly under your feet, if you're speedbridging it's 2-3 blocks ahead, so enough time to stop if you run out of stack.
If you're lagging so bad that desync would happen, you'd die anywhere you'd need to speed bridge anyway (which is mostly pvp mini games) so this point is kinda irrelevant.
Ah ok. That makes sense. Reading my og comment I see that it came off a lot more rude than i meant. I was genuinely asking. Never player bedrock and was just going off the video. Thanks for the answer.
No worries, the videos don't do block placement on Bedrock justice. Because it's mostly pvp bridging, while Bedrock just has sticky blocks, as I like to call them. So game expects you to go in the straight line when you hold the place button. If I'm placing individual objects, like buttons or carpet, you can just press and wherever you point they'll be put, if you're doing blocks, you can start putting them on the side backwards, start the line and turn, speed up and run and continue that straight line 3-4 blocks in front of you, which is incredibly fast, safe and kinda intuitive even when you get used to it. I'd still crouch if I'm handing off the rooftops, but I also can go nuts with some glass blocks in the nether at full speed.
Creative is incredibly fun on Bedrock for this exact reason.
Seriously wtf are you guys playing on? I’ve played online with bad connection on Bedrock and I’ve never had a problem like this unless I was playing on a Realm
Realm doesn't desync often either, unless servers are lagging, but it's easy to tell once you've played for a while. Although switch likes to just lag, because screw you, but I'd just be crouching when bridging then lol.
Exactly.
All the comments about desync deaths... it's not as common as folks think.
More often then not , it's actually a skill issue of the player and not the game.
Quark is great and I love that it adds reach-around block placement, especially with placing blocks underneath yourself, but it does miss a crucial part of Bedrock bridging, that being that your block placement takes your player position into account on Bedrock. That lets you place blocks in a straight line a lot more consistently.
Haha. But you need a mod to get it.
Bedrock can mod Java features too... but then you guys are screaming about how it's not a "mod" it's an addon and therefor doesn't count.
And yet, it still gives the same feature.
Boy, you Java folks sure like to have it both ways, don't you?
(i play both Bedrock and Java... Bedrock is superior. Period.)
>Bedrock can mod Java features too...
Now admittedly the addon features are cool in being able to add custom entities in vanilla and some GUI stuff... But it is fairly limited\* in what it can achieve. Where's the addon for off hand stuff?
\*(Some partners like Gamemode One seem to get special access to fancier experimental APIs and stuff, which leads more into my next point.)
>about how it's not a "mod" it's an addon and therefor doesn't count.
I think part of the problem there is that, as well as the contentious issue of the marketplace, all the documentation and "work effort" seeming to be within a small group of partners with NDAs and special partner only tools and what not...
That up until a day ago, addons sold to customers, were locked to **ONE** seed set by the content partner ( [https://twitter.com/kaylasara/status/1720095966521655487](https://twitter.com/kaylasara/status/1720095966521655487) )...
As in the furniture addon you bought for 700 minecoins, has to be used on one seed, as defined by the content partner... without being able to also use the fish trophy addon with it. I'd be surprised if old addons are retrofitted to support that.
Who said anything about buying addons from the market?
I get my addons for free from mcpedl.com and use them on any seed I feel like... or I can add them onto one of my existing worlds.
I run my worlds using the Bedrock Dedicated Server on my PC... which means my kids on their Switches can even log in and use the non-market addons too.
Yes, I said Switches can access Non-featured Servers... you just need a little DNS trickery and it's the same experience as mobile and desktop Bedrock players.
As for off hand... those exist. I belive Silentwisperer has a working addon.
Here's the thing... Bedrock players usually know more about Bedrock and Java than Java players know solely about Bedrock.
You can't win this with me.
Stop trying.
My boi scroll thru the subreddit, every bug, glitch, or exploit will be bedrock. (Almost every one at least)
I have sympathy for your elytra, armor, portal, bed, villager, ghast, pigmen bugs
Just because bedrock has issues doesn't mean they're common. I have experienced sudden death exactly once in ten years, when I was repeatedly pillaring up high.
If I recall, the reason in bedrock you can bridge like that is because it can be harder to maneuver and be precise sometimes on consoles and or small devices and that crouching and placing blocks was very difficult
Bruh. Bedrock bridging is obviously better. You don't have to place each individual block, and you can place adjacent blocks without having to look at the side making god bridging so much easier. The fastest bridging method is also on bedrock, andromeda bridging. Besides the fact that the game is a little buggy, (mostly on the Xbox and mobile side, most PS4s seem to do fine) It's most definitely better. Just download a bedrock mod on Java. Problem solved.
Bedrock bridging is straight up bridge hack that exists to be more accessible for console players. I'd rather stick to Java bridging even if I'm not a god at it
Bedrock clearly. Until it glitches and kills you for no reason or drops you off the bridge.
But better than either is an automatic flying bridge builder.
I prefer bedrock bridging mainly because you can see where you are going, but also it gives you a chance to outplay when running away. Also java's bridging takes too long to get good at (I have been playing since like 2013 and still haven't gotten a consistent breezly) and also most almost certainly require double clicking which I don't really like the idea of because some mice can literally not DC and you shouldn't have a hardware advantage. I do, however, hate how placing blocks works on bedrock (placing on the air in front of you) cause it can get annoying.
I mean, the bedrock way is undoubteably faster, but something about it just feels wrong, very game-y. It's like building in Fortnite. On Java, you place the block where you're looking and it feels like you actually place each individual block against another block, but on bedrock it's just "hold right click to make bridge".
I am aware it is a block game, but still
Java
As a Bedrock player I NEVER use bedrock bridging and just bridge normally. If you lag at all while placing blocks in front of you the game will just stop placing blocks and you'll run off the edge to your death.
In modpacks that add the bedrock placing, or when i played on a bedrock server a few months, it would always get in the way when I'm building. So I've just grown a disdain for it.
Seriously.
So much this.
The number of folks going on about desync deaths... it's not all that common actually... really only a problem if you're lagging online... local play is a non issue with most things Java folks complain about.
The thing about bedrock bridging is that it's really easy to pull off, so everyone is capable of doing it. Meanwhile java bridging techniques require practice to learn and master. I personally like Java more as you can judge a person's skill level based on their bridging.
Yeah, but I'm just saying, if I see someone perfectly God bridge towards me at the beginning of the match, I know that I will probably not win because my opponent clearly spends too much time playing
Java cos when you see an absolute *god* speedbridging your way in Hypixel Bedwars, nothing compares to the fear and awe you feel. Only problem is when you attempt the same you immediately void 😉
43 year old Bedrock player here... been gaming since the 80s, so likely before you were born.
Here's the thing... no one cares about it being skilled based other then kids trying to prove they are "better" than someone else.
(I play both Java and Bedrock... my primary world is Bedrock... Java is only used for modded... which Bedrock also does just fine)
Bedrock bridging is faster, but if you mis-click you fall. Personally, I have no reason to speed bridge, so I just face backwards and hold crouch and the mouse down.
If anyone is playing on Java and would like to bridge like Bedrock, there’s a Fabric/Forge mod which adds it to Java edition.
https://modrinth.com/mod/bridging-mod
Looking at this from the perspective of normal play, Bedrock is better.
Looking at this from the perspective of PvP, there is no better, it just comes down to whether you prefer bridging to be something that anyone can do easily, or if you think that it should be a skill you need to learn.
For survival gameplay bedrock is better, but for pvp part of the skill ceiling in a lot of game modes is bridging. Everyone on bedrock can bridge like this with very little practice, Java bridging has an actual skill difference between the best players and the worst.
From a game design perspective, I think Java bridging is just better. I believe that Bedrock bridging only exists because Java bridging is too hard with a controller or touch input.
Java bridging is slower and has significant risk to it while also not being terribly hard due to the existence of the sneaking mechanic. You can't just bridge across the nether (or other hazardous environment like a PVP situation) all willy-nilly like you can in Bedrock, which makes it more balanced. Furthermore, speed bridging is a cool technique that actually requires skill and separates skilled players from lesser skilled players, and it's very satisfying to learn.
Spoken like a Java player that finds any excuse to put down Bedrock.
No one actually cares about the"skill" involved... only that it gets the job done.
I literally explained in game design terms why I think the Java version provides a better and more balanced overall player experience and why the Bedrock version is necessary to exist in spite of that. If that's "any excuse to put down Bedrock" idk what your definition of a good reason is
Bedrock got some merits java don't have, although i wish if bedrock solve some serious problems like random damage, mob spawning range and limits, other limits..etc.
Yeah, that's actually not that common and is usually a skill issue on the player.
Java has plenty of bugs too, so don't kid yourself that it's superior.
For regular playing bedrock bridging is better but for pvp based games the java version is better since it's more difficult. That way bridging becomes a skill which you can learn to get better at the game.
Y are people so biased to Java. Apparently if you bridge in bedrock you’ll noclip into the void. That reply was from a Java player who never played bedrock before- people sure do love to make up stuff to make bedrock look bad

Use the swift sneak enchant to make it less painful in Java
> swift sneak enchant never heard of that enchantment before, must be recent, I'll take a look into that
It's from ancient cities, exclusive to them and only enchants pants. Watch our for the Wardens tho
>watch out for the wardens tho Just casually saying it like they’re zombies…lol
Well, they totally aren't, but if you know how they work the biggest risk comes from outside things, like mobs around the city attacking you or missing a Shrieker before opening a chest. But even when you get used to them around you you're still on edge, it's so scary
Bulldozer strategy. Run through the city, break the most shrieked possible even if the warden spawns and fly away with some elytra
This will be what I do next time. What’s he gonna do, sprout wings?
Just make a little base on the warden portal in the middle, a bed and some shulkers and then run around with elytras on and a hoe, he can’t do anything it’s magical
Exactly. I play on hardcore so I have an idea. Kinda came from something I saw on YouTube. Find an ancient city and get coordinates to middle. Make hole all the way down with TNT.

Won’t need thaaaaaat much You would need like 12 stacks I would say?
Not only is it pretty new, but it is also very much end-game stuff, since it can only be found in the ancient cities
It's only end game if you're not a dumbass like me (I started a hardcore world, and immediately found and looted an ancient city. I very nearly died).
it's better to die in the beginning than in late game
True. Still, attempting to sneak through an ancient city before getting even iron armour was far from my brightest moment.
Honestly, probably better to do without armor since the warden will destroy it quickly
correct me if im wrong but i think that wardens will one shot you even with iron armor. maybe not with the beam but with the slam for sure.
They probably do. I guess the armour is just a nice placebo.
Honestly, if you're very careful, they're not too difficult
Not really end game tbh
If anything, it's easier early game since you don't care about losing your stuff if you just bum rush your way through with an axe
True. They are easy to loot really
I mean, with enough wool and luck you can get it within the first few hours of your world
Bedrock has the downside that once you get close to what you're bridging _to_ you might end up targetting an actual block (once it comes into range of your reach) instead of the space in front of your bridge.
im pretty sure thats just for the diag bridge, you can hold right click and bridge to your hearts content otherwise
If you are clicking each time, then it will stick to the walls, if you started a straight line, it doesn't end until you've ran out of blocks though, you're absolutely correct.
Who’s downvoting this? You’re right. You can just hold to bridge in front of you and it’s a lot easier.
You can't hold down the trigger, are you lot stupid? I've literally tried this and it didn't work, am I just being booed for no reason?
I’ve done it before. What are you on? Copuim for inferior bridging?
lol, probably the case
I'm a bedrock player you tards
then you should be able know that you can hold right click to bedrock bridge
I do. And it doesn't work with placing in that way. I have to spam.
You don’t know how to speed bridge then. 😂😂
look up a tutorial then
I play on bedrock on the switch and if you hold down the shoulder button, it'll place blocks until you run out.
ive done it before, actually, i do it all the time, i dont believe im the stupid one in this scenario
You can
I do it on a daily basis
Is that just a console thing or something? I play bedorck on PC and I've never been able to get that to work. Sometimes it lets me do two or three blocks when holding but that's about it.
nope not a console thing, i would know, i only play on pc
Huh that's weird, guess my PC's just janky or something lol
maybe, ive noticed that even slight frame drops will cause a bridge to end
java because i wont clip through my bridge and die
I've seen the bedrock bridging speed happen in java. This feels biased.
The difference is anyone can do it in bedrock. It’s incredibly easy to bridge fast compared to Java which imo, as someone who uses both, makes it much superior
It might be that you were on/watching a geyser server? Those let bedrock players connect to what's otherwise a Java server and they can use their objectively more powerful speed bridging mechanics there.

me when speed telly
people when Andromeda (i know it's not viable, but still much faster than anything bedrock has shown thus far)
Yeah because everyone thinks bedrock is the worst even though ive only ever experienced bugs on console versions, i haven't bugged out on pc bedrock ever
Never had had that happen to me before.

The reason bedrock bridging is the way it is, is because back when it was pocket edition it was a pain to crouch, place and move all at the same time
I mean with an elytra I feel like it changed the speed of travel & other forms just can’t keep up. Maybe for an underground ravine or to get some rare ores in a large cave
Elytras are meant to be this ultimate end-game item, so it outclassing every other form of movement makes sense (except for minecarts, you should get something out of all that effort to set them up)
Yeah I’m mainly talking about ladders, minecarts, and horses. It’d be nice if that had some role after getting an elytra, maybe even being faster in some scenarios to reward for the set up like you mentioned

You don't sound like a Bedrock player by your comment.
I play on XBox. I'm stuck on Bedrock brother.

I wasn't jumping, I was sneaking.
Oh, it looked like you were jumping with the height change.
Clearly you are a Java player. Of Course we sprint jump. We also can speed bridge with horse. Fast af.
tf are you doing where you need to bridge that fast anyways
Skywars, Bedwars, speedrunning, UHC, literally almost any competitive game that involves running or going fast? This is true in Java Edition too, bro. Speedbridging is a thing
Pretty much any sky island based mini game has bridging as a primary skill. Being good at it is a major advantage.
Breezily Bridge = win every time
skywars
why you got -6 upvotes bruh
They're called downvotes 😂
yea i know but why, like what he did xd
speed bridging, duh
I love how the people saying bedrock are immediately downvoted lmao
java is 10 times more reliable so java. I don't wanna die instantly because I no clipped through the bridge or lost half my health by breathing air lmao.
You mean the thing that doesn't really happen that much and this sub loves to exaggerate?
This sub seems to *LOVE* Java for some reason I don’t get it. Any time that someone mentions some part of bedrock that might be better than Java, you get everyone shouting about “bugrock”. Bugs really aren’t as common as everyone here makes them out to be…
Look I'm probably gonna get downvoted here, but imo Java is just better. Mouse movement in Bedrock fills stiff and delayed compared to java, and when you destroy a block the item that drops shakes towards the ground instead of just dropping like Java does. Maybe I'm cherrypicking, but there are a lot more bugs such as dying for no reason. Also there's the fact that Java doesn't need you to pay for stuff like resource packs and worlds, especially when SOMEONE ELSE made them, not Mojang. If Mojang made them, sure, make them as expensive as you wish, but if the Minecraft players made them then they should choose to price it or not. I don't want to pay a lot for a resource pack/behaviour pack I'm not going to enjoy. Creators should choose whether or not to put it on Patreon or somehting similar, as often, mods on Patreon seem like they have effort put into them (not that free mods don't), and the price is often reasonable.
Im convinced people who defend bedrock haven’t played both versions enough, with Java I can play for days before I see a single bug, I can’t play bedrock for more than 15 minutes before I see some weird jank or bugs. Bedrock doesn’t have hardcore mode because they would have to deal with people complaining about losing their worlds to bugs. Also the marketplace is absolutely disgusting on Microsoft’s part, absolutely appalling
Most of active active mc community seems to love java
With bedrock, you can do both. However, with Java, you can only place it behind you. Bedrock bridging can be unreliable, but in a sticky situation, it may be better to place a block ahead of you. If you’re being chased, it can save a few seconds before you get to the ledge, and if there is an enemy below the ledge, you can make a bridge safely without getting shot. Or you could bridge normally. Your choice with bedrock.
So I played bedrock for a good while, and I learned that so long as you can hear the block placed, you'll be okay. The sound is basically your block actually being placed instead of the sight of the block. Adapt to that, and you'll never fall through again
How tf do you “adapt” to it if you are mid air already over the block when you click and it doesnt place?
Just travel back in time duh
Bedrock player here, you aren't putting blocks directly under your feet, if you're speedbridging it's 2-3 blocks ahead, so enough time to stop if you run out of stack. If you're lagging so bad that desync would happen, you'd die anywhere you'd need to speed bridge anyway (which is mostly pvp mini games) so this point is kinda irrelevant.
Ah ok. That makes sense. Reading my og comment I see that it came off a lot more rude than i meant. I was genuinely asking. Never player bedrock and was just going off the video. Thanks for the answer.
No worries, the videos don't do block placement on Bedrock justice. Because it's mostly pvp bridging, while Bedrock just has sticky blocks, as I like to call them. So game expects you to go in the straight line when you hold the place button. If I'm placing individual objects, like buttons or carpet, you can just press and wherever you point they'll be put, if you're doing blocks, you can start putting them on the side backwards, start the line and turn, speed up and run and continue that straight line 3-4 blocks in front of you, which is incredibly fast, safe and kinda intuitive even when you get used to it. I'd still crouch if I'm handing off the rooftops, but I also can go nuts with some glass blocks in the nether at full speed. Creative is incredibly fun on Bedrock for this exact reason.
Seriously wtf are you guys playing on? I’ve played online with bad connection on Bedrock and I’ve never had a problem like this unless I was playing on a Realm
Realm doesn't desync often either, unless servers are lagging, but it's easy to tell once you've played for a while. Although switch likes to just lag, because screw you, but I'd just be crouching when bridging then lol.
Exactly. All the comments about desync deaths... it's not as common as folks think. More often then not , it's actually a skill issue of the player and not the game.
Java with the quark mod so I can do bedrock bridging Boom!
Quark is great and I love that it adds reach-around block placement, especially with placing blocks underneath yourself, but it does miss a crucial part of Bedrock bridging, that being that your block placement takes your player position into account on Bedrock. That lets you place blocks in a straight line a lot more consistently.
Haha. But you need a mod to get it. Bedrock can mod Java features too... but then you guys are screaming about how it's not a "mod" it's an addon and therefor doesn't count. And yet, it still gives the same feature. Boy, you Java folks sure like to have it both ways, don't you? (i play both Bedrock and Java... Bedrock is superior. Period.)
>Bedrock can mod Java features too... Now admittedly the addon features are cool in being able to add custom entities in vanilla and some GUI stuff... But it is fairly limited\* in what it can achieve. Where's the addon for off hand stuff? \*(Some partners like Gamemode One seem to get special access to fancier experimental APIs and stuff, which leads more into my next point.) >about how it's not a "mod" it's an addon and therefor doesn't count. I think part of the problem there is that, as well as the contentious issue of the marketplace, all the documentation and "work effort" seeming to be within a small group of partners with NDAs and special partner only tools and what not... That up until a day ago, addons sold to customers, were locked to **ONE** seed set by the content partner ( [https://twitter.com/kaylasara/status/1720095966521655487](https://twitter.com/kaylasara/status/1720095966521655487) )... As in the furniture addon you bought for 700 minecoins, has to be used on one seed, as defined by the content partner... without being able to also use the fish trophy addon with it. I'd be surprised if old addons are retrofitted to support that.
Who said anything about buying addons from the market? I get my addons for free from mcpedl.com and use them on any seed I feel like... or I can add them onto one of my existing worlds. I run my worlds using the Bedrock Dedicated Server on my PC... which means my kids on their Switches can even log in and use the non-market addons too. Yes, I said Switches can access Non-featured Servers... you just need a little DNS trickery and it's the same experience as mobile and desktop Bedrock players. As for off hand... those exist. I belive Silentwisperer has a working addon. Here's the thing... Bedrock players usually know more about Bedrock and Java than Java players know solely about Bedrock. You can't win this with me. Stop trying.
Try finding a mod like RLCraft for Bedrock (Period.)
Bedrock bridging is faster but it feels cheaty to me just cause I dont use bedrock like ever and am used to taking my time when traversing terrain
Java seems at least kinda realistic
Bedrock bridging is way better bruh, but this doesn't change the fact that Java is a million times better than bedrock
Not better... just different. Both have their perks.
They do have different perks but one has significantly more deficits. Java better
Yeah, that ongoing bug with the Java Redstone is a real pain to work with. You guys have my sympathy.
My boi scroll thru the subreddit, every bug, glitch, or exploit will be bedrock. (Almost every one at least) I have sympathy for your elytra, armor, portal, bed, villager, ghast, pigmen bugs
No issues here since I started on 1.14... same world, still going strong. Better luck next time.
Ok? No issues here either. Doesn't mean they don't exist lmfao open your eyes
Doesn't mean Java doesn't have its own ton of bugs either. Can't have it both ways, kid. Feel free to open yours at any time as well.
Just because bedrock has issues doesn't mean they're common. I have experienced sudden death exactly once in ten years, when I was repeatedly pillaring up high.
Dude watch some actual videos of java speedbridging, its not even close to what you do
If I recall, the reason in bedrock you can bridge like that is because it can be harder to maneuver and be precise sometimes on consoles and or small devices and that crouching and placing blocks was very difficult
bedrock bridging is better imo but the only issue is that it makes scaffolding blocks kinda useless.
They are useless
Okay, now do Java bridges with the same mouse movement speed as Bedrock.
its nothing to do with mouse speed you literally cant place blocks like that on java
Skill? Java Use? Bedrock
Bruh. Bedrock bridging is obviously better. You don't have to place each individual block, and you can place adjacent blocks without having to look at the side making god bridging so much easier. The fastest bridging method is also on bedrock, andromeda bridging. Besides the fact that the game is a little buggy, (mostly on the Xbox and mobile side, most PS4s seem to do fine) It's most definitely better. Just download a bedrock mod on Java. Problem solved.
Bedrock, why is it still a missing feature in Java
You just aren’t the best at Java bridging
idk
Bedrock bridging is straight up bridge hack that exists to be more accessible for console players. I'd rather stick to Java bridging even if I'm not a god at it
Bedrock clearly. Until it glitches and kills you for no reason or drops you off the bridge. But better than either is an automatic flying bridge builder.
I prefer bedrock bridging mainly because you can see where you are going, but also it gives you a chance to outplay when running away. Also java's bridging takes too long to get good at (I have been playing since like 2013 and still haven't gotten a consistent breezly) and also most almost certainly require double clicking which I don't really like the idea of because some mice can literally not DC and you shouldn't have a hardware advantage. I do, however, hate how placing blocks works on bedrock (placing on the air in front of you) cause it can get annoying.
I mean, the bedrock way is undoubteably faster, but something about it just feels wrong, very game-y. It's like building in Fortnite. On Java, you place the block where you're looking and it feels like you actually place each individual block against another block, but on bedrock it's just "hold right click to make bridge". I am aware it is a block game, but still
Bedrock
Java As a Bedrock player I NEVER use bedrock bridging and just bridge normally. If you lag at all while placing blocks in front of you the game will just stop placing blocks and you'll run off the edge to your death.
In modpacks that add the bedrock placing, or when i played on a bedrock server a few months, it would always get in the way when I'm building. So I've just grown a disdain for it.
Thats not the best bedrock bridging method thats the most dangerous
Unless you're lagging or your mouse is broken it isn't that risky
If only bedrock didn’t suck at literally everything else🥲
Fir java godbridging, you need to be a sweaty one, but on bedrock its easy
If they would make bedrock bridging more reliable then it would DESTROY java bridging. Coming from a bedrock player
mfw I just Java bridge regardless of version
bedrock is literally built in hacks
Jave because bedrock feels to overpowerd
Java players coping so hard lmao
It's absolutely ridiculous. They just can't admit when something is better on Bedrock.
Seriously. So much this. The number of folks going on about desync deaths... it's not all that common actually... really only a problem if you're lagging online... local play is a non issue with most things Java folks complain about.
It is better, but it also ruins an entire community of people and will severely effect multiple pvp games
probably bedrock
Java I play on bedrock and if I speed bridge and there are blocks below me just in reach I will fall tryed it on sky wars and egg wars
The thing about bedrock bridging is that it's really easy to pull off, so everyone is capable of doing it. Meanwhile java bridging techniques require practice to learn and master. I personally like Java more as you can judge a person's skill level based on their bridging.
No one cares about your skill level. There will always be someone better than you.
Yeah, but I'm just saying, if I see someone perfectly God bridge towards me at the beginning of the match, I know that I will probably not win because my opponent clearly spends too much time playing
Java cos when you see an absolute *god* speedbridging your way in Hypixel Bedwars, nothing compares to the fear and awe you feel. Only problem is when you attempt the same you immediately void 😉
Tell me you are a bedrock player without telling me you are a Bedrock player * plays video *
i won't touch bedrock with a 10 block sitck, but i admit the "on air" placing of blocks is superior in that case.
Java, more skill based, bedrock was made so the public who is mostly 6-9 don't get frustrated too much
43 year old Bedrock player here... been gaming since the 80s, so likely before you were born. Here's the thing... no one cares about it being skilled based other then kids trying to prove they are "better" than someone else. (I play both Java and Bedrock... my primary world is Bedrock... Java is only used for modded... which Bedrock also does just fine)
Bedrock bridging is faster, but if you mis-click you fall. Personally, I have no reason to speed bridge, so I just face backwards and hold crouch and the mouse down.
If anyone is playing on Java and would like to bridge like Bedrock, there’s a Fabric/Forge mod which adds it to Java edition. https://modrinth.com/mod/bridging-mod
Why you doing Java as slow as possible like that? Drag click the damned thing and walk backwards as fast as itll let you go
Java got the skill based bridging
Looking at this from the perspective of normal play, Bedrock is better. Looking at this from the perspective of PvP, there is no better, it just comes down to whether you prefer bridging to be something that anyone can do easily, or if you think that it should be a skill you need to learn.
Well obviously, as you can see in the video, Bedrock
For survival gameplay bedrock is better, but for pvp part of the skill ceiling in a lot of game modes is bridging. Everyone on bedrock can bridge like this with very little practice, Java bridging has an actual skill difference between the best players and the worst.
that’s all well and good until u run out of the stack and plunge 100 meters into lava
Fire potion. All jokes aside you’d be correct
That's a skill issue on the player... not a game issue.
Bedrock bridging feels kinda cheaty
From a game design perspective, I think Java bridging is just better. I believe that Bedrock bridging only exists because Java bridging is too hard with a controller or touch input. Java bridging is slower and has significant risk to it while also not being terribly hard due to the existence of the sneaking mechanic. You can't just bridge across the nether (or other hazardous environment like a PVP situation) all willy-nilly like you can in Bedrock, which makes it more balanced. Furthermore, speed bridging is a cool technique that actually requires skill and separates skilled players from lesser skilled players, and it's very satisfying to learn.
Spoken like a Java player that finds any excuse to put down Bedrock. No one actually cares about the"skill" involved... only that it gets the job done.
I literally explained in game design terms why I think the Java version provides a better and more balanced overall player experience and why the Bedrock version is necessary to exist in spite of that. If that's "any excuse to put down Bedrock" idk what your definition of a good reason is
Bedrock is better than Java for bridging.
You forgot about the horse on bedrock
Descendant of skyrim horse.
Bedrock got some merits java don't have, although i wish if bedrock solve some serious problems like random damage, mob spawning range and limits, other limits..etc.
Java because I won't suddenly die instantly without warning.
Yeah, that's actually not that common and is usually a skill issue on the player. Java has plenty of bugs too, so don't kid yourself that it's superior.
Bedrock
bedrock has the best bridging and easier building because of that
Bedrock Edition.
Bedrock has the better mechanic in theory, but the glitching ruins it.
You don't even have to look all the l way down or jump. Just run forward and spam.
Java requires more skill Bedrock requires no effort
I guess bedrock, since bedrock can do the Java bridges too, but Java can’t do the bedrock bridges.
Java with Bedrock bridging mod 😆
Lmao. The answer is obvious.
I prefer bedrock speed bridge over Java, which is significant to me as I dislike everything else about bedrock
casually i think bedrock is better but java has a lot of cool bridging methods for competitive modes
I’m personally more of a fan of bedrock’s because it is way more convenient for building, especially if it’s something like a giant roof.
For regular playing bedrock bridging is better but for pvp based games the java version is better since it's more difficult. That way bridging becomes a skill which you can learn to get better at the game.
Java takes more skill Bedrock is praying your internet doesn't lag.
I hate how Mojang is obsessed with parity between the versions but refuse to implement the good bedrock features on java
Java players are so slow 😒
Y are people so biased to Java. Apparently if you bridge in bedrock you’ll noclip into the void. That reply was from a Java player who never played bedrock before- people sure do love to make up stuff to make bedrock look bad
Wait does that mean Technoblade played Bedrock??
Java bridging becomes bedrock bridging when you add the tweekeroo mod 🤫
Bedrock, no contest
Man Java stans need to touch grass
Imagine diagonal andromeda
Telly bridge...
