This page is a list of parity issues between Bedrock and Java editions. 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.[note 1]

Last updated
Bedrock Edition 1.21.0
Java Edition 1.21

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.

  • Tropical fish names differ between editions (full list can be found in here).

  • 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.[verify]
  • 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.

Textures and animations[]

Missing Model JE3
This page would benefit from the addition of more images. 
Please remove this notice once you've added suitable images to the article.
The specific instructions are:
  • Sunflowers: the back and front are one element in Java Edition but rendered as two completely separate planes in Bedrock Edition, both of which can be seen from the front. Java Edition is also affected by MC-122701.
  • Cross models: the pixels are more square shaped on Bedrock Edition, and the back faces are more realistically mirrored (although this results in cases of ugly unrealistic mirror symmetry).
  • Other plane models

Footnotes[]

Feedback pages[]

Notes[]

  1. There is a new policy about accepting certain parity issues in the bug tracker; this was not in effect until late April 2020. A parity issue can be reported in the bug tracker if all of these following criteria are met:
    • it is present both in Bedrock and Java editions;
    • it behaves differently across editions;
    • it was introduced or explicitly changed in the Buzzy Bees update or later.
    See this post by a moderator on the Mojira subreddit for more details.
  2. For example, if a player had one iron ingot, the recipe book would show not just iron nuggets, but also pistons and iron doors.
  3. See Bedrock Edition exclusive splashes for more details.
  4. See this section for a full comparison list.
  5. This feature is part of Minecraft Minecraft Education and is therefore inaccessible without the Education mode enabled.
  6. a b c d e f g h i This feature is either unused or inaccessible without the use of cheats, commands or external software.
  7. a b This is considered to be working as intended both in Java and in Bedrock. Though the Bedrock behavior is intended, Jens Bergensten decided to keep the Java one.
  8. A similar issue happens when de-powering/reconnecting redstone wires in certain directions in Java, due to MC-11193.
  9. See this table for comparison.
  10. See raid loot for full list.
  11. Doesn't happen in Java anymore as of 1.14 due to MC-148379.
  12. Doesn't happen in Java due to MC-127433.
  13. See this section for more details.
  14. MC-161182, which describes the issue, has been incorrectly resolved as a duplicate of MC-151161 — resolved as "Works As Intended"..
  15. This is considered to be working as intended in Java Edition; see MC-139433.
  16. See this section for comparison.
  17. Java uses the gamerule command for this purpose.
  18. Java uses teams for this purpose.
  19. Java uses the maxChainCommandLength gamerule for this purpose.
  20. Java uses the HideFlags item tag for this purpose.
  21. Windows 10 Edition or any console or mobile device with keyboard and mouse connected to it.
  22. Such as F3+B to show hitboxes, F3+G to show chunk borders, etc.
  23. Worked on by redoing combat again, this new version is planned for both Bedrock and Java (see Java Edition Combat Tests).
  24. Present in the Legacy Console Edition, even though it didn't receive the combat changes.
  25. For example, it may detail if you were trying to escape a player/mob. See the list of death messages. For death messages from Buzzy Bees onward, see MCPE-98552.
  26. Refers to the Mojang Studios logo.
  27. A tweet by now ex-community manager Aubrey Norris suggests that it is being worked on since at least early 2018.
  28. a b For Bedrock Dedicated Server.
  29. See this section of the Bedrock Edition flattening list.
  30. This leads to more accurate and consistent translations. For example: "Easy" (difficulty) is translated in Dutch as "Makkelijk" in JE and incorrectly as "Makkie" in BE, which is informal.
  31. For example, coral can be placed on glass. See the full list here.
  32. See this section for more details.
  33. For example, torches can be placed on the back of stairs. See this section for a full comparison.
  34. For example, mob head tooltips are yellow for an Uncommon rarity.
  35. Currently behind experiments toggle, as such, it isn't fully implemented into the game.
  36. Doesn't always happen due to MC-137719.
  37. This is considered a bug both in Java and in Bedrock, though the Bedrock behavior seems to be the intended one.
  38. Already added on Bedrock as parity feature, but behind the experiments toggle, as such, it isn't fully implemented yet.
  39. a b c d Currently the sounds are already in Bedrock Edition, however it is unused.
  40. See also this user list for more thorough explanations.
  41. For more details, see the bastion remnant loot tables.
  42. For more details, see the buried treasure loot tables.
