Parity means making features behave consistently across different Minecraft editions, most commonly between Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Use this category to discuss released features that exist in both versions of the game but work differently. Please note that bugs are not parity issues and should be reported separately.

Minecraft’s new version numbering system works bad

Let me introduce you to a new system of versions created from mojang: like gambling and not matching the real winner number, that's literal in this case.

If the new system goes from 1.21.11 to 25.4 in Java, on Bedrock it would be different (25.7+ being the same as 25.4 from Java, just with a different number). This is due to store updates and more hotfixes caused by "bugdrock," of course. This also creates a new problem: confusion.

Let's roll back to the old system: 1.16 was the Nether, 1.18 was the Caves, That good old system works because updates happen once a year, and if they fix something, they add little numbers between, 1.16.5, to do the fixes.

But with the new system, they have four minimalistic updates, which creates confusion about where Minecraft is going and which version I want just to, hop in´ with my friends. It works by destroying the old system and making people expect less from a new update, so this could even be considered the end of Minecraft as we all know it. (because they add little pieces instead of bigger updates because they are lacking of progress in making the game, classic mojang L...)

So i suggest they make a step back to their senses, and if they also want to do it anyways, they might just go for the 1.26.1 instead, even if its a jump, but to match the year of the version, that makes WAAAY more sense even if its making a 4 number jump.

    I don’t like the new system
    that is currently being planned
    so what i would suggest is that the upcoming update, the store fronts should only show v.26.1 & the name bar of the window for Java Edition & bedrock on pc, is to only show the game release version 1.0.0
    Both the update version and game release versions (1.26.1 & 1.0.0) are to be shown
    in launcher installations &
    in the bottom left of the in game main menu of
    Java Edition & Bedrock Edition mobile & pc. e.g v1.0.0 placed above v.26.1 both on bottom left of the main menu screen,
    this hybrid system would make way more sense.
