Minecraft Wiki:Parity issue list

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

Suggestions to fix existing parity issues prior to the Buzzy Bees update should be made on the feedback site.


 * Last updated
 * Bedrock Edition 1.20.15 and Bedrock Edition beta 1.20.30.22
 * Java Edition 1.20.1 and Java Edition 23w33a

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.


 * In the section "In Bedrock Edition but not in Java Edition", [until BE (version number)] or [upcoming: JE (version number)] means it is no longer the case and fixed in the provided version; and [until JE (version number)] or [upcoming: BE (version number)] means that it was in parity before, and no longer is starting from that version.
 * In the section "In Java Edition but not in Bedrock Edition", [until JE (version number)] or [upcoming: BE (version number)] means it is no longer the case and fixed in the provided version; and [until BE (version number)] or [upcoming: JE (version number)] means that it was in parity before, and no longer is starting from that version.
 * In the section "Unsorted", any [upcoming: ] means it is no longer the case and fixed in the provided version; likewise, any [until ] means that it was in parity before, and no longer is starting from that version.

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 intended only 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.

Only in BE, the chests may contain a potion of regeneration, a name tag, a music disc ("Mellohi" and "Wait"), a bottle o' enchanting, a cake, 1–3 leads and chainmail armor.

 * 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 simplicity's sake, these groups aren't listed as they still respect the levels.
