Minecraft Bedrock vs Java Edition: Top 5 differences in mobs you may not know – Sportskeeda

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.

  • 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,

In Java Edition, defeating the Wither is an easy task as players can trap and kill them easily. Unfortunately, the Wither battle isn’t so simple in Bedrock Edition.

Bedrock Edition’s Wither has special attacks and can summon wither skeletons to protect itself. Players cannot capture the Wither in a bedrock cage. On top of that, when a player finally defeats the Wither, it will cause a massive explosion.
