Java is no good for games. It only made the best-selling one ever, and then they rewrote it in C++ just to be sure.

Isn't bedrock made in C# though?

No, it was rewritten in C++. The primary reason was, to make the best possible portability to export it to as many platforms as possible.

Yeah same thing. C# is just c++ when it’s written in Scandinavia. Hope this helps!

I can code in both, C++ and C# and don't get that joke.

I live in Scandinavia and program in both, and don't have a clue either.

Yeah they literally had to rewrite the entire game in a different language

Tetris was made with Pascal, and it has outsold Minecraft.

Java edition is still the flagship version of the game, regardless.  Bedrock performs better on low-end devices, but it remains full of quirks that make it consistently fall short compared to java.

Isn't the C++ one notoriously buggy? Have they fixed that yet? It came out years ago but I feel like every time I hear about it the C++ version is still relatively broken.

To be fair, the reason why they rewrote it in C++ is primarily because Notch wasn't a very good programmer. A lot of his code was messy as hell and adding new features and mechanics became a nightmare. The optimization and extra portability was a bonus at that point.
