Minecraft was first created using Java programming language. However, as many devices didn’t support Java and had performance issues, developers created another version for all other devices and called it Bedrock Edition.
Bedrock Edition is made using the C++ programming language. While it made Minecraft available on various platforms, the game became a little different from Java Edition.
The gameplay seems the same on the surface level, but there are many differences that players will only notice after playing both editions for a long time. Some mobs also have differences in behavior, abilities, and drop rates.

<p>Minecraft Java Edition has three <a href=)
exclusive mobs which can only be summoned using commands in vanilla gameplay. These are the three Java exclusive mobs:
- Giant: A large variant of regular zombies with a height of 12 blocks.
- Illusioner: An illager mob who uses spells and a bow.
- The Killer Bunny: A deadly hostile mob added as an easter egg.
These mobs are available in the Java Edition files but are completely missing in Bedrock Edition,

<p>In Minecraft Bedrock Edition, baby variants of zombies, husks, and zombie villagers can ride many mobs, like cows, cats, pigs, horses, mules, adult zombies, and whatnot. In Java Edition, they can only ride chickens.</p>
