TBH, Minecraft development has always been extremely conservative. Even basic "hard" features like a modding API, cubic chunks, LoDs or an optimized renderer were too extensive to do.
Bedrock is basically Microsoft sicking a whole team onto a C++ rewrite for their business purposes, not Mojang's core devs deciding to do it.
This is not bad, per se. Their careful, slow direction stopped JE from getting enshittified, bloated, buggy, things like that. But it’s been kinda frustrating, too, given Minecraft’s enormous user base.
That's not true, bedrock started before Microsoft was ever involved; it was the console and mobile version.
Ah, right.
Point still stands though. JE development has been extremely conservative and cautious.
I mean, yes and no. They have (I believe) slowed down, but for quite a while they were making MAJOR refactors every release and the internals were rapidly changing despite not much being visible on the surface.
I think a lot of that stopped with dinnerbone taking a step back ... but I'm also not as involved with the scene anymore so I'm not entirely sure if that's true.
But yeah, they regularly used to screw modders up redoing internals to make things dynamic instead of hard coded and refraction tons and tons of stuff.
I miss the days when they were ambitiously pursuing an official API for mods; now they've kind of resigned to letting the community projects handle that. Which is not a terrible approach, but it's not a great one either.
This was always controversial because the ostensible reasons, optimization and future features, seemed to pale in comparison to what random modders were doing hacking at the code. And Minecraft JE, feature wise, hasn’t changed that much.
Has bedrock edition changed much? I remember they had VR at one point, but in general they've kept the features pretty much identical AFAIK
Last I checked its still missing some gameplay features JE has, but generally tries to keep parity with JE, yeah.
