Minecraft Wiki:Parity issue list

This page is a list of parity issues between the Bedrock and Java Editions. A parity issue is where one feature only exists in one edition of the game and not in the other (version exclusives).


 * Last updated
 * Bedrock Edition beta 1.12.0.14
 * Java Edition 1.14.3

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 editions 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.

General

 * Has official modding API
 * Mentioned several times not to come to java, still listing as it IS a parity issue; possibly in the future, data packs in java will basically be the modding API

Taking an item fully selects the typed text, but leaves it focused so the user can immediately begin searching for something else. Closing the inventory clears the search.
 * The hotbar is positioned lower in java than in bedrock
 * Crossbow handling mechanics are different. In Java, the arrow will only load onto the crossbow when the mouse button is released; holding the right mouse button will then fire and charge the next arrow. In Bedrock, the crossbow will automatically load the arrow when finished charging; holding the right mouse button will then fire but not charge the next shot until the player clicks again; charging the crossbow will take an item damage.
 * Base attack damage is half a heart, not a full heart.
 * Particles and nameplates render parallel to the screen
 * Vignette (darker corners of the screen, more clearly visible the darker it is)

 * Breaking a bed instantly resets the spawn point of all the players who last used that bed
 * When bed spawn point is obstructed, the player's spawning will fallback to world spawn
 * When world spawn is obstructed, player's spawn is on the block as close as possible that's not obstructed
 * Explosion particles have higher resolution
 * Smarter lighting system, where light only goes through faces that make sense (e.g. a slab on top of a light source blocks it)

 * Podzol replaces dirt/grass when a giant spruce grows from saplings

 * Sign editing interface is different
 * Infested blocks break instantly

 * Functional save, load and corner mode for structure blocks
 * Data mode on structure blocks, unusable by players, but used by developers
