(.net) Changes to comparison table in Get Minecraft page

I've recently taken a look at the Get Minecraft page and I've seen it feature a comparison table of the many editions of Minecraft. I read it and I noticed a few inaccuracies. Considering that's where players make the choice of buying one edition or the other, I believe thet being as honest as possible should be an imperative. So here's what I think is wrong, and how to fix it.

1) Remove Legacy Console Editions and Other Devices

They're no longer supported. They can no longer be bought. They only take space. Please, remove those sections

2) Correct inaccuracies in Java/Bedrock comparison

There is some misinformation going on in the comparison table. I'll list all of them:

  • DLC: Only Bedrock Edition. The description only talks about Add-Ons (which do only exist on the main edition), while there actually is a variety of DLC for Minecraft: Resource Packs (Java and Bedrock), Data Packs (only Java), skins (Java and Bedrock), skin packs (only Bedrock) and custom maps (Java and Bedrock). For the sake of accuracy, each of these should have its dedicated row
  • Mods: Both Editions. Mods only exist for Java Edition. This is because only the Java Edition has a launcher that can launch versions different from the current one, including older versions, beta versions (snapshots) and also modded versions. I thought you considered Add-Ons "mods", but they already had their own section. Considering that mods are often one of the most appealing features of Minecraft, this could be extremely misleading

    I had another point to make, but I was interrupted by a pesky character limit that is said to haunt long posts like mine. I wonder what were they thinking when they added it. This is a feedback, not a tweet!

    • Host your own server: Both Editions. Though, it would be better to specify that Bedrock Edition servers are still in an alpha phase.

    3) Missing information

    These are some platform exclusives that you might want to add to your list:

    • Education Features: Only Bedrock
    • Beta Versions: Both Editions
    • Historical Versions: Only Java
    • Moderation: Only Bedrock

    I hope you will take my feedback into account, as I think we can all agree that giving players useful, accurate and comprehensive information is fundamental to let them make this choice.
