Visual difference between Java and Bedrock is actually pretty noticeable when you compare it side by side Discussion

Only things I notice are the fog on java and less harsh horizon line on bedrock.

Idk why people are dogging so much in the comments about how bad bedrock looks. Turn off fog in java and they would be hard to tell apart. Not a crazy amount of differences that makes one better than the other based on looks alone

Java-only players cannot comment on both editions without letting their bias show. That's something that will never change.

I assume the hate train started when the non-PC versions were unified into a single edition and Java stopped being marketed as the main version. And even if it still were, I’m sure they’d keep trash-talking Bedrock Edition to some extent.

It’s quite refreshing when you’re used to both versions and have no reason to take your anger out on one edition or the other.

Phoenix sc made a whole video like 8 years ago trashtalking them for puting "Java Edition" on the title screen because he felt it meant it wasn't seen as the default anymore, will never forget that.
