  • When the argument for the best Minecraft edition comes up, for most people 2 versions come to mind. Bedrock and Java. Both of these are heavily debated on which is better, and each has their upsides and downsides, but for me I think there’s one version that is better than both. Yet was abandoned by Mojang. Minecraft Legacy Console Editions.
    But which Minecraft version do you think is best?

    Legacy console edition is just objectively better than bedrock if you aren't playing on a newer generation console. Bedrock is supposed to be optimized but on console it's a joke. Opening menus, loading dimensions, and just the overall movement on consoles like the ps4 and Xbox one feel delayed and clunky. Legacy console edition was built with consoles as the main platform so it feels much better to play.

    What I liked about the 360 edition was just how small the worlds are. There was a closeness in servers because there was only so far you could go.

    @JohnWI13 Před měsícem +2

    I totally agree! Not only it had exclusive features, such as the mashup maps, textures, minigames, tutorial etc, it also felt the most polished and "connected" as you said. And, differently from Pocket... Bedrock Edition, it was made from the start as a Console Remake faithful to Java Edition, and so basically everything good about Java came to it, like Redstone:
    Legacy has quasi-connectivity, actual update order, world tick clock and various minor tweaks from Java.
    Legacy has also multiple features from Bedrock, that aren't present in Java
    So really, as you said, Legacy was a definitive, all in one package of a game that felt high-quality. In contrast, Bedrock Edition felt so weird, still does. It feels kind off like playing Java on a laggy server, and it has so many bugs. Legacy was better than Java. The only update that for me didn't achieve its equivalent Java version was 1.14, as it was rushed to be released only on PS4, so they didn't fully implement the new villager whispering system. But imagine if Microsoft/Mojang weren't greedy, and continued to update the Legacy up to now, even eventually adding cross-play between consoles (like ps4-xbox1-switch). It would have been the best. Thanks for reading and for the video!
    Edit: And no horrible unresponsive Microsoft accounts on legacy!

    Yeah that's fair, I guess a few years ago I may have felt like I cared about the next update and then I fell into the modding pipeline and since then, the next update has never really been on my mind, because there are so many good experiences on older versions in the form of Modpacks on things like 1.12 or even the more recent 1.16.

    I agree Bedrock has plenty of glitches. Such as sometimes its most loved feature playing with friends causes most of it. For no reason I logged back to my friends world and I started dying for no reason! It also glitches when you mine, place and open things. Like it breaks the block, but you don't get the block? Then it replaces all the blocks that you mined and possibly breaks your torch and your stuck in a wall suffocating. That last glitch I seen while experience playing is I was crossing water and got to my friends base and I was apparently drowning??! I was out of the water standing in a base. The game thought I was still swimming and sunk me to the bottom. So I lost all my stuff. I went back to the water and oddly my stuff was there???!! This is why I play legacy. The online features are still available on it. Which is great to play with friends and best of all I don't think I've experienced any glitches besides if someone makes it glitch like throwing too many potions on the ground, spawning too many animals, or if the hosts connection isn't that good they may have to restart the game once in awhile. Please whatever you do don't play with friends on Bedrock...

  • @tapioka9519

    I truly love this edition and think it is a work of art. Nostalgia aside, it had the best features of both games at the time, and even more exclusive features like voice chat. The minigames were extremely unique and fun, and it overall was my favorite Minecraft edition before it stopped development. It's nice to see other people who also find that this game is the best of the 3. Out of the few versions of Legacy Console I played I found that the Wii U one was my favorite. The extra maps and skin packs were amazing and I think 4J Studios did an amazing job, even better than Mojang did, on this game.

    My favourite edition is Legacy, but specifically PlayStation 3 Edition. It's where all my memories are, and it has my favourite Mashup world which is the LittleBigPlanet one as that game is also a big part of my childhood, and my main skin on PS3 is from that pack. PS4 Edition also has these things, but as PS4 is on 1.14 (Texture update and Village and Pillage) it just feels a bit too new and doesn't quite fit the Legacy editions which is why PS3 is a great option for me as it's on 1.13, so swimming is easy but it still feels nostalgic and has programmer art textures.

    Another issue with modern minecraft updates is that, although they often add new content, it feels devoid of purpose. I haven't interacted with any of the new mobs from mob votes or update mechanics in my recent playthroughs because there just isn't any incentive to. They just feel like meaningless additions, put in to pad out an update.

    Bedrock is based on the pocket edition of old and I think it shows, the UI is awkward to navigate, especially on console, microtransactions.
    the physics are different for example Throwing objects simply doesn’t work the same on bedrock, the redstone is different on bedrock too. for some reason I find that bedrock looks strangely over saturated and smooth, I personally prefer the slightly washed out and jagged look of legacy console plus because 4J understood the pros and cons of each platform they developed for they were able to design well optimised versions of Minecraft for each console.
    my personal favourites are Minecraft XBOX 360 Edition, Xbox one edition and PSVita edition.
    I mostly Grew up with 360 Edition so it has a lot of nostalgia, I used to play superflat creative worlds and build random stuff with my sister all the time on her XBOX One and I also owned PS Vita edition, I used to play it all the time on the go and even remember Building stampy’s rocket on PS Vita and then wondering why it didn’t work

      Legacy console edition wasnt bedrock, it was a complete remake of java for consoles by 4J. Bedrock is made by mojangs secondary studio and was basically used as justification to kill the 4J studios partnership around 2019-2020. You can kind of think of it like the minecraft engines, legacy console, bedrock, early bedrock (pocket alpha + pi edition), etc, etc
      Sorry for the history, It just makes me sad that mojang killed the better version of minecraft and replaced it with bedrock

      the controls on LCE were made for controllers, while bedrock's controls, especially in the ui, were made for touch screens. instead of pressing a few buttons to do something like disable fire spread, you now have to type in an entire command with a controller.
      also, the term bedrock was coined in 2017. years after LCE released. bedrock edition is named after the bedrock engine. LCE was not made in the bedrock engine, therefore it is not a version of bedrock. LCE was made in the lwjgl engine (basically java).
