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


 * Last updated
 * Bedrock Edition beta 1.16.210.50
 * Java Edition 20w49a

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 will no longer be 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 will no longer be 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 will no longer be 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 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.

 * In Java, the loot is fully determined by the seed in all structures.
 * In Bedrock, the loot is determined by the seed in some structures. In desert pyramids, shipwrecks, buried treasures, pillager outposts, ocean ruins, igloo basements, nether fortresses and end cities, the loot generates consistently, but may be re-arranged. It is randomized across the same seed in villages, abandoned mineshafts, dungeons, strongholds, jungle pyramids, ruined portals and bastion remnants.
 * The bastion remnant loot tables in Bedrock do not contain spectral arrows (as they have not been implemented). These entries are replaced with arrow entries, resulting in an abundance of arrows in these chests.
 * The buried treasure loot tables are more varied, have different weights and stack sizes, and are drawn from less pools in Bedrock. Only in BE, the chests may contain a potion of water breathing, 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. Only in Java, they may contain cooked cod and salmon, a leather tunic, an iron sword and 4–8 emeralds.
 * The jungle pyramids loot tables have slightly different weights and item stacks between editions.
 * The ruined portal loot tables in Bedrock have a lower weight for bells and higher weight for golden apples, among other differences.
 * The stronghold loot tables are more varied in Bedrock; storerooms may contain 1–3 ink sacs, altars may contain 1–3 emeralds, and the weights in libraries are slightly different.
 * Different villager trading between editions.
 * This issue was made less extreme in Bedrock Edition 1.16.0, but the following differences are still present:
 * 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, these groups aren't listed as they still respect the levels.
 * Armorer
 * Journeyman armorers can buy 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.
 * 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.
 * 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 in Bedrock 1.16.0, but the following differences are still present.
 * 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.
 * Block and item shading is darker in Java than in Bedrock.
 * Clouds fade differently between editions.
 * Daylight detectors output identical power levels at different times and different weather conditions.
 * Different graphics saturation level between editions.
 * Different sound volume levels between editions.
 * Entity shadows are different between Java and Bedrock.
 * Experience bar looks different between editions.
 * Foxes behave differently across editions.
 * Have a health of in Java and  in Bedrock.
 * Have different chances of holding eggs (15%/20%) or feathers (20%/15%) when spawned.
 * In Bedrock, they always drop the item they spawn with when killed; in Java, they have a 8.5% chance of doing so.
 * When killed, adult foxes drop in Java and  in Bedrock.
 * Drowned equipment spawn rates differ.
 * Have a 2% chance to spawn with a fishing rod in JE, as opposed to 0.85% in BE.
 * Have a 6.25% chance to spawn with a trident in JE, as opposed to 15% in BE.
 * Have a 3% chance to spawn with a nautilus shell in its offhand in JE, as opposed to 8% in BE.
 * Bee nest in flower forest have 3% chance in Bedrock and 2% chance in Java.
 * Grindstone, loom, smithing table, stonecutter, villager and wandering trader GUIs are different between editions.
 * Java Edition username is 3–16 characters long, but Bedrock Edition can be 3–32 characters long.
 * Nether portal blocks in the End teleport players to the Nether in Java and the Overworld in Bedrock. The behavior of end portal blocks in the Nether is unknown.
 * The distribution of resource packs on servers is handled differently: in JE, a link to a downloadable file is required 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.
 * Piglins need 6 seconds to barter in java, but 8 in bedrock.
 * Random tick speed gamerule defaults to 1 in BE and 3 in JE.
 * Smelting cacti yields more experience in JE than BE.
 * Swinging animations are different between editions.
 * Taking damage or healing plays an animation in JE, but not in BE.
 * Totem of Undying animation uses a 3D item render in JE, and a 2D one in BE.
 * Wither roses deal damage at different rates: every half a second in JE and every two seconds in BE.
 * Boats have the collision/hit box size 1.375 wide and 0.5625 high in JE and 1.4 wide and 0.455 high in BE.
