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!

There should be a form of NBT data for Bedrock Edition..

This discusses a form of NBT support for Bedrock Edition, which is gonna be pretty important for Bedrock mapmakers. The reason it should be done? I already listed it above. How it should be done? A special NBT to JSON converter for Bedrock Edition ONLY.

The parity would be achieved if bedrock used JSON as an NBT replacement. The issue is NBT data does not have strong typing like JSON. It all comes down to decisions made 10 years ago when file size was an issue and NBT object notation was chosen. NBT now, in hindsite, was a growth hindering choice Mojang made when programming Minecraft, but they didn't know that. NBT allowed fast implimentation of new features, and when this was ONLY an indy java game, just getting people to play was #1 priority. Mojang. Ditch NBT. Adopt JSON. Grow for another 10 years.
