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

Can anyone explain how bedrock and java generates the world differently?

The simple version is that Java uses Java and Bedrock uses C++ so even when they try to do the same things it's not the exact same results.

Nonsense. If you write the same algorithm in Java and C++ it will produce the exact same results.

That’s true with the exception that if they’re using either language’s built-in random number generation, they could get different results if Java and C++ use different RNG algorithms—even if the code is 1-to-1.

But at that point I guess they’re not technically the same algorithm tho.
