I haven’t played Minecraft for a while, but I was under the impression that Microsoft was progressively turning the Bedrock version into a microtransaction hellscape. If I’d have to reluctantly commend Microsoft for anything, I’d rather go for Visual Studio Code.

The bedrock version is bad, but they have recently given everyone that owned one version of the game the other version for free and now sell both versions of the game for the price of one

Oh, yeah bedrock sucks. Java edition is still great though. And yes, VSCode is good as well.

Bedrock indeed, but you didn't even have Bedrock edition before Microsoft, so you can't really say MS fucked it over since it was always kinda bad. Java has been pretty nice and the "big content updates" direction under Microsoft really rejuvenated the game.

It's nice that they brought Minecraft to practically every device. It sucks that they didn't replicate redstone

Thats because Microsoft has refused to change anything meaningful, there are new mobs but they dont drop anything of value and there are new biomes but the blocks are all decorative. Microsoft knows they'll screw it up so they only make surface level changes.
