What is parity? This category is designed just for features that exist but work one way on one platform, and another way on a different platform. Bugs are not parity! Items in snapshots and betas are subject to change so please be sure to only post about things that are currently released in Minecraft. Please read the intro post before you post!

Java - Bedrock crossplay

This would be great and make it so everyone can play with each other, people who prefer Java and those who prefer Bedrock. And we know it's possible because of MCGeyser! So please make this official and available to console players.

    The problem is GeyserMC is very buggy, and people can use glitches to their advantage, but if Mojang just does the same thing but better, it could be good.

    As much as I want this I doubt it would even be possible to happen due to the fact Java and bedrock use different coding languages

    Console players can do so with a Custom DNS server.

    It’s possible on modified servers.

    There is another issue: Any item can go in the offhand slot on Java, but not on Bedrock, even if a Java and Bedrock client are on the same server.

    Many parity issues should be fixed, first.

    It's nearly impossible to implement, Bedrock and Java technically are two different games made on different languages by different people, there is an unofficial way for cross play, but it's extremely buggy and can't be much better
