Discontinue Java Edition + Make Bedrock Edition the main version

- Release Bedrock on MacOS and Linux
- Discontinue the Java Edition
- All Java players get free access to a copy of Bedrock
- Add as many Java features to Bedrock as possible

I know, I know that the Java Edition is iconic, but doing this will make sure all Minecrafters can play with each other on the same game while ensuring a lot of Java features stay.

    no i hate this idea because making bedrock the main version removes free texture packs free worlds free skins mods data packs and more features that bedrock wont and will never support. also bedrock runs a different way then java so java players having to quit they're main version for some idea that someone is idot

    So what if... what if we just made java the only version?

    See why it doesn't work for you or others that play bedrock so why should java or bedrock players have to suffer?

    Have you ever played a multiplayer game on console bedrock only to find yourself absolutely obliterated by PC players? You're just asking for that, except every single player is gonna be on PC. Realize that java edition is iconic for having mods, players are literal nuclear missiles at everything multiplayer including PVP, Spleef, etc. Discontinuing java edition for a defective bit of multiplayer half-improvement is like throwing a pebble at a bear.

    Seriously, they need to just discontinue Java already. It’s so pointless to have 2 PC ports especially when 1 is running on outdated code with servers that are terrible. Just get rid of it so the game can finally grow better than the 1 or so update we get a year now with the dead weight of Java we’re lugging around.

    Skins, Texture Packs, Behavior Packs, and Global packs can still be free and downloaded just the marketplace is a secondary (or primary) way to get maps, skins, and behavior packs, also you can earn accessories from achievements!

    Though many think this is a bad idea, I don't think this would mean completely getting rid of java. I think it would mostly mean combining the two with the newer code in bedrock, which would mean less bugs. I think this is a great idea!

    They Should Just Merge The Two Versions, I Own A Switch And Pc Since They Are Migrating Mojang Accounts To Microsoft Accounts, They Should Let Bedrock Players On Java And Vice-Versa

    This is the most idiotic idea ever. Java is the core of Minecraft. You have the freedom to do everything you want. Creating mods, servers, texture packs, etc. The only thing you have to pay for is is the game itself. No Mccoins. No realms as the only server host. If Microsoft want to discontinue it, they're gonna make alot of people of the Minecraft community angry + alot of members of Mojang staff itself as they prever Java more then bedrock (like you can see in every new update showcase during minecon/minecraft lives). And I know that both editions have good and bad points, but I know that java is the core edition of Minecraft.

    No, just no. Minecraft Bedrock is far inferior to Java Edition. For Various reasons this sort of comment should not even be suggested to the devs. Not only are they two entirely separate communities for entirely different kinds of players, but there are fundamental differences that make this sort of change downright awful. Minecraft Bedrock Edition ruined many qualities that define Minecraft and give it its name. Minecraft Java encourages the modding community; allows for the industrious mega servers (Hypixel, Mineplex, etc) to exist; and for individuals to make custom, modded, or even optimized servers with ZERO cost. Moreover, it does not swindle in the utilization of negative micro-transactions that have tanted the world of Bedrock.

    The gameplay, primarily in regards to: smoothness; graphics; and frame-rate is far superior in the Java Edition. Gameplay is far smoother, graphics are better, a steady frame rate is more common and the features are less inclined to a younger audience. Bedrock does not include skeleton strafing, has decreased zombie notice ranges, and other "minute" features that have non-minute consequences. 

    MOST Importantly, Bedrock world generation crippled the game. Decreased density of vegetation and mob spawns, especially in jungles, has made biomes feel barren and overly similar. Too similar to No Man's Sky's boring and easily forgotten terrain generation. Minecraft Java has fantastic world generation and includes Amplified.
