Bedrock Edition on Raspberry Pi

Having the Bedrock Edition on Raspberry Pi would be a good replacement for the Minecraft Pi Edition. It is new and can run on ARM processors with good performance. People could use the cheap price tag of the Pi to play this version of Minecraft without buying a 200 dollar console. Buying the Edition would be a little tricky, but maybe you could use redeem codes if you bought the Java Edition or a Bedrock Edition game and grab a download link.

    Actually you would be suprised i installed kodi on my raspberry pi and it played 720P video better then my xbox 360 or PS4 if you were to make a pi edition that had its settings very low it would be possible i mean someone got java edition working on the pi so its possible and bedrock is soo optimized

    Reasons why this won't happen:

    1. Mojang announced a long time ago that they would no longer update the Raspberry Pi version of the game.

    2. The Raspberry Pi is like 30 dollars and runs like a disabled potato.

    3. Almost nobody has a Raspberry Pi these days so it really isn't worth it for the devs to work on yet another version of the game.

    Sorry, kid. Just not happening.

    Jakecraft, funny for you to say that one week prior to the release of RPi 4, which turns out to be like 30-40% more powerful in games. RPi aren't as weak as they used to be.

    You can run Minecraft 1.8.9 - the Java edition - on an old RPi 2. And while it runs at 20-30 fps with Optifine and all settings set to off/lowest, remember it's the Java edition we're talking about. In my book it's already pretty good.

    Then you have Minecraft 1.12.2 running on the latest recently-released RPi 4 at 40-60 fps on default settings. Add Optifine and BetterFPS, and you can get even more frames.

    Though I agree, from developers' standpoint it doesn't make much sense to develop the game for the RPi, the only gaming-related use this thing is bought for is emulation. Nobody buys it to use as a "daily driver" device. Also I'm pretty sure people will find a way to put Android on a RPi 4, which would enable RPi owners to play Minecraft PE. And I've heard there are ways to run MCPE on Linux, so... yeah, not much of a point.

    Well, you need optifine and stuff like that but it runs smoothly but is kind of laggy in fullscreen.

    you would be able to code more if there was a nether or survival to cade your own mobs or Redstone to make your own Redstone parts.

    Minecraft Bedrock can run on a raspberry pi 3 B + in 1080p, you just need Emteria OS and Minecraft on Android, If you want you can try, but the main crashes come from the crashing minecraft interface, but not from the games that run well

    The hardware is low but it would work. I would develop a pi app to optimise the pi cpu to run it better. I'll make a custom launcher for the pi for bedrock java and pi editions with mods and everything else. Needs to have a mojang/ms account with mc attached to it.
