Minecraft Wiki:Parity issue list

This page is a list of parity issues between. A parity issue is where one feature only exists in one edition of the game and not in the other (version exclusives), or the behavior of a feature differs between editions.

Suggestions to fix parity issues should be made on the feedback site.


 * Last updated
 * Bedrock Edition beta 1.16.0.58
 * Java Edition 1.15.2

Note
Snapshot/beta features should be listed only with upcoming templates. Use the until or upcoming templates where applicable, don't remove entries unless the changes came into the final release of the corresponding edition.

Avoid adding entries along the lines of "this edition does not ...", put it in the other edition instead.

Do not put the desired outcome in the parity issue, this list is only intended to list the parity issues, not how they should be resolved.

The Java Edition names of objects are used throughout the list, just like other wiki articles.

 * The random tick speed gamerule defaults to 1 in BE and 3 in JE.
 * Different anvil XP costs between editions.
 * Different chest loot between editions.


 * Different villager trading between editions.
 * This issue was made less extreme.
 * The following differences are still present as of Java Edition 20w16a and Bedrock 1.16.0.
 * General
 * Bedrock trade groups are based on the specific trade slot. Java trade groups are based on the villager level. This affects the chances of trades that are chosen. For example, Bedrock farmers always sell bread, while Java farmers only have a 40% chance to sell bread (20% per slot, 2 slots). For simplicity's sake, I won't be listing these groups as they still respect the levels.
 * Enchanted items (other than books) sell for a set value in Bedrock while they sell for a range in Java. The amount in Bedrock is equal to the "base emerald cost" value in Java.
 * Armorer
 * Journeyman armorers buy can diamonds in Java, while expert armorers will buy diamonds in Bedrock.
 * Said diamond trade rewards 20 XP to the villager in Java, and rewards 30 in Bedrock.
 * Butcher
 * The emeralds for coal trade give the villager 2 XP in Java and 10 XP in Bedrock.
 * Apprentice butcher villagers can sell cooked rabbit and cooked mutton in Bedrock.
 * Journeyman butcher villagers will sell cooked beef in Bedrock.
 * Cartographer
 * The banner for emeralds trade isn't "grouped" with itself in Java. See the below point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this.
 * Master cartographer villagers sell a globe banner pattern (currently not in Bedrock) for 8 emeralds in Java, while they sell either a flower charge, field mason, or bordure indented banner pattern (all currently not in Java) for 1, 2, or 2 emeralds respectively in Bedrock.
 * Cleric
 * The emeralds for gold trade gives the villager 2 XP in Bedrock and 10 XP in Java.
 * Journeyman villagers sell glowstone dust in Bedrock, while they sell glowstone blocks in Java.
 * Farmer
 * The suspicious stew trade isn't "grouped" with itself in Java. This affects the chances of offering the trade. In Bedrock, the chance of offering the suspicious stew is $1/3$ for a single slot. In Java, it's $6/7$, as all 6 suspicious stew types are listed as separate trades.
 * Fletcher
 * The emeralds and arrows for tipped arrows trade may give Arrows of Decay (currently not in Java) in Bedrock, while it may give Arrows of Slow Falling in Java.
 * Leatherworker
 * The Journeyman level emeralds for dyed leather tunic trades rewards the villager 10 XP in Bedrock whilte it rewards 1 XP in Java.
 * Mason/Stone mason
 * The granite/diorite/andesite for emeralds trade is not "grouped" in Java. See the above point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this.
 * The emeralds for polished granite/polished diorite/polished andesite trade is not "grouped" in Java. See the above point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this.
 * The emeralds for terracotta and glazed terracotta trades are not "grouped" in Java, while they are all in one big group in Bedrock. See the above point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this. This one is especially bad as the quartz trade 6.25% chance of appearing.
 * The emeralds for quartz blocks/pillars trades are not "grouped" in Java. See the above point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this. In this specific case, this means that Java will always offer both trades while Bedrock will always offer only one. See the above point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this.
 * Shepherd
 * None of the colored item or dye trades are "grouped" in Java. See the above point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this.
 * Weaponsmith
 * The emeralds for an enchanted iron sword trade is offered by novice weaponsmith villagers in Java, while it is offered by apprentice weaponsmith villagers in Bedrock.
 * Said enchanted iron sword trade has a price multiplier of 0.05 and a villager XP reward of 1 in Java, while it has a price multiplier of 0.2 and a villager XP reward of 5 in Bedrock.
 * The emeralds for bells trade is offered by apprentice weaponsmith villagers in Java, while it is offered by journeyman weaponsmith villagers in Bedrock.
 * Said bell trade has a villager XP reward of 5 in Java, while it has a villager XP reward of 10 in Bedrock.


 * Different wandering trader trading between editions.
 * This issue was made less extreme.
 * The following differences are still present in 20w16a and Bedrock 1.16.0.
 * Bedrock has trade grouping which prevents items of similar types from being offered more than once per trader.
 * All flowers are grouped (1 emerald for 1 item, 12 uses), all dyes are grouped (1 for 3, 12 uses), all seeds are grouped (1 for 1, 12 uses), both mushrooms are grouped (1 for 1, 12 uses), all coral blocks are grouped (3 for 1, 8 uses), and all saplings are grouped (5 for 1, 8 uses).
 * Bedrock can offer tall flowers; Java cannot.
 * The blue orchid trade's maximum use is 8 and the lily of the valley trade's maximum use is 7. Both are 12 in Bedrock as they are grouped with the flowers.
 * Bedrock offers ink sacs, cocoa beans, lapis lazuli, and bone meal instead of Java's offers of black dye, brown dye, blue dye, and white dye.


 * The raid captain/pillager outpost banners are called illager banner in BE, and ominous banner in JE.
 * Taking damage or healing plays an animation in JE, but not in BE.
 * A single scaffolding smelts 6 items in BE and 2 items in JE.
 * Experience bar looks different between editions.
 * Different splash texts between editions.
 * Entity shadows are different between Java and Bedrock.
 * Different graphics saturation level between editions.
 * Block and item shading is darker in Java than in Bedrock.
 * Clouds fade differently between editions.
 * The distribution of resource packs on servers is handled differently: In JE you need a link to a downloadable file in the server.properties, in BE it is included in the world files. This also affects realms, where on BE you can add your own RP to the realm, in JE this feature is restricted to the maps in the map creators program.
 * Different sound volume levels between editions.
 * Swinging animations are different between editions.
 * Grindstone, loom, stonecutter, and villager GUIs are different between editions.
 * Java Edition username is 3–16 characters long, but Bedrock Edition can be 3–32 characters long.
 * Honeycomb blocks use coral sounds $$ and slime sounds in Bedrock Edition.
 * Bees have different animations between Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. Bee.gif Bee BE.gif
 * Wither roses deal damage at different rates.
 * Totem of Undying animation uses a 3D item render in JE, and a 2D one in BE.
