To spread, the source grass block must have a light level of 9 or brighter directly above it. Grindstones
Can float in midair without supporting blocks.[ 102] Hoppers
Push items in a consistent order, the first slot first.[ 103]
If a hopper is part of a horizontal hopper pipe, a comparator can individually read each item passing through the chain, because items are pushed through the hoppers one by one at a speed that is manageable by the comparator.
If there is no container above the hopper, then the hopper collects dropped items in the order in which they landed on the hopper.
The checks done by a hopper while pulling generally require less processing than the checks done by a hopper attempting collection.
Hoppers inconsistently pick up diagonally moving items.[ 104] Heads
👁 Image Custom player heads. Custom player heads are available through commands with Component data that contains player skins.
The default player head has a different texture.[ 105] [ 106] Ice

Redstone circuits can pass their power level through mangrove roots even when waterlogged.
Water does not spread out from waterlogged mangrove roots.[ 119] Monster spawners
Render adjacent face to another spawner block.[ 120]
Mobs are spawned with a 9x3x9 volume centered on the spawner, resulting in a rectangular-shaped volume where mobs can spawn.
A turtle monster spawner can spawn turtles only on sand blocks less than 4 blocks above sea level.
Using commands, monster spawners can be customized:
They can be made to spawn any kind of entity.

Decays into netherrack when a snow layer is placed on top of it.[ 127]
Using bone meal on nylium spreads nether vegetation to plantable blocks.[ 128] Observers
Can detect certain more block changes.[ note 10] [ 129]
Nearby tree growth causes logs to trigger observers.[ 130] Obsidian
If a nether portal is generated midair, 4 extra obsidian is generated at the bottom of the portal.

Most mobs avoid walking on rails.[ 145] Red sandstone
Red sandstone can rarely generate in badlands and eroded badlands.[ 146] Redstone comparators
Accepts side input from redstone blocks.[ 147]
Having a sign in the same block as an item frame prevents the frame from sending a signal to a comparator.
If the solid block is powered to signal strength 15, then the comparator outputs 15, no matter the fullness of the container.[ 148] Saplings propagules
Growth is not blocked by logs and stripped logs.[ 149] [ 150]
Giant spruce trees have different space requirements.

A chain of hoppers with air or non-container blocks on top has better performance than a chain of hoppers topped by container blocks.
Hoppers with multiple dropped items above them collect the items in the order in which they entered the chunk in which the hopper is located.
Hoppers have a "collection cooldown" time. After collecting an item (or stack of items), a hopper waits 4 redstone ticks (0.4 seconds, barring lag) before attempting to collect again.
Hoppers use the side texture on the bottom.[ 560] Iron Bars and copper bars

Note Blocks
Honeycomb blocks produce a flute sound (as opposed to the normal "harp" in Java Edition ).[ 591]
Wither skeleton note block sound plays normal skeleton ambient sounds instead of unique ones.[ 592]
The musical pitch and instrument data are handled on a separate process (tile entity data) that is independent of the main world update loop. As a result, right-clicking to change the note does not trigger a block update. Because no update signal is generated, neither observers nor BUDs can detect the change. [ 593] Petrified Oak Slabs

Different generated structure, terrain feature and cave carver locations between editions.[ 42] [ 949]
In Java , nether biome particles are generated within the respective biomes. In Bedrock , particles appear everywhere, even outside of the biomes, but are visible only when inside of the biome, at which point they can be seen everywhere. Given their rendering behavior at extreme distances it appears as though they are rendered in much the same way as rain and snow.
The ash particles in Basalt Deltas move randomly in Bedrock , but move northwest in Java .[ 950] [ 951]
Buried treasure chests always generate at chunk coordinate 8 (out of 0 through 15) on both the X and Z axis in Bedrock , and at chunk coordinates 9 on Java [ 952] The game splits the Nether into regions in which one of either a nether fortress or a bastion remnant can generate. The regions are 432×432 blocks in Java Edition and 480×480 blocks in Bedrock Edition .
In Java Edition , the chance of a fortress generating instead of a bastion is 2⁄5 (40%), while in Bedrock Edition the chance of a fortress generating instead of a bastion is 1⁄3 (33.3%)
Colors pattern of eroded badlands aren't the same between Java and Bedrock Edition .[ 953]
Different extreme distance effects in each edition. See Java Edition distance effects and Bedrock Edition distance effects for more information.
Pillager outposts on tall cliffs or floating islands generate with an extended foundation in Bedrock Edition while they generate on a terrain blob in Java Edition .
The void start platform generates at Y=-61 in Java Edition and Y=-64 in Bedrock Edition .
Called Narrator on Java and Text to Speech on Bedrock . Bee nests in flower forests have 3% chance to generate in Bedrock and 2% chance in Java .In Java Edition , magma blocks in the nether attempt to generate 4 times per chunk in sizes of 0–160, from altitudes Y=27 to Y=36 in all biomes. It can only replace netherrack. In Bedrock Edition , it attempts to generate 9 times per chunk in sizes of 0–106, from altitudes Y=23 to Y=36 in all biomes. It can replace netherrack and blackstone.
Daylight detectors output identical power levels at different times and different weather conditions.[ note 40] Different anvil XP costs between editions.
In Java , costs are scaled using the final level of the enchantment being added. In Bedrock Edition , costs are scaled using the final level minus the initial level. For example, combining two Sharpness IV books into a Sharpness V book costs 5 levels on Java , but 1 level on Bedrock.
Renaming on an anvil has a maximum of 50 characters long on JE and 30 characters long on BE.[ 954]
Nether portal blocks in the End teleport players to the Nether in Java and the Overworld in Bedrock . In Bedrock , End portal blocks in the Nether teleport players to the End. The behavior of end portal blocks in the Nether in Java is unknown.[verify Smelting cacti yields more experience in JE (2XP ) than BE (0.2XP ).[ 955]
Text colors glows differently on signs when using glow ink sacs . In Java , the colors are brighter but not accurate to the palette[ 956] Bedrock , the text outline are too dark.[ 957]
In the Java Edition chest interface, the top three rows for a large chest correspond to the left half of the chest when facing it, and the bottom three rows correspond to the right half. In Bedrock Edition , the top three rows correspond to whichever half was placed first and the bottom three to the other half.
Message to disable a slot in crafter has the word "Press" in Bedrock and "Click" in Java .[ 958] The shield item looks different between editions.
Some blocks and items provide different amounts of furnace fuel in each edition.
Bundle storage bar colors are different.[ 959] [ 960] The player slim model arms in Bedrock are half a pixel lower than the body torso part of the player model, compared to Java , which is properly aligned.[ 961]

Different mobs spawn in different waves in raids .
Different villager schedules between editions. (See Villager § Schedules .)
Many villager behaviors, such as selecting job site blocks, sharing food, farming, reproducing, summoning golems, reacting to enemies, etc, are all significantly different between editions.
Different villager trading between editions.
General
Bedrock trade groups are based on the specific trade slot. Java trade groups are based on the villager level. This affects the chances of trades that are chosen. For example, Bedrock farmers always sell bread, while Java farmers have a 40% chance to sell bread (20% per slot, 2 slots). For simplicity's sake, these groups aren't listed as they still respect the levels.Butcher
The emeralds for coal trade give the villager 2 XP in Java and 10 XP in Bedrock . Cartographer
The banner for emeralds trade isn't "grouped" with itself in Java . See the below point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this. Farmer
The suspicious stew trade isn't "grouped" with itself in Java . This affects the chances of offering the trade. In Bedrock, the chance of offering the suspicious stew is 1 ⁄3 for a single slot. In Java , it's 6 ⁄7 , as all 6 suspicious stew types are listed as separate trades. Fletcher
The emeralds and arrows for tipped arrows trade may give Arrows of Decay (currently not in Java ) in Bedrock , while it may give Arrows of Slow Falling in Java . Leatherworker
The Journeyman level emeralds for dyed leather tunic trades rewards the villager 10 XP in Bedrock while it rewards 1 XP in Java . Mason
The granite/diorite/andesite for emeralds trade is not "grouped" in Java . See the above point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this.
The emeralds for polished granite/polished diorite/polished andesite trade is not "grouped" in Java . See the above point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this.
The emeralds for terracotta and glazed terracotta trades are not "grouped" in Java , while they are all in one big group in Bedrock. See the above point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this. This one is especially bad as the quartz trade 6.25% chance of appearing.
The emeralds for quartz blocks/pillars trades are not "grouped" in Java . See the above point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this. In this specific case, this means that Java always offers both trades while Bedrock always offers only one. See the above point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this. Shepherd
None of the colored item or dye trades are "grouped" in Java . See the above point about the farmer's suspicious stew trade for an explanation of this. Weaponsmith
The enchanted iron sword trade has a price multiplier of 0.05 and a villager XP reward of 1 in Java , while it has a price multiplier of 0.2 and a villager XP reward of 5 in Bedrock .
The emeralds for bells trade is offered by apprentice weaponsmith villagers in Java , while it is offered by journeyman weaponsmith villagers in Bedrock .
Said bell trade has a villager XP reward of 5 in Java , while it has a villager XP reward of 10 in Bedrock .
Different wandering trader trading between editions.
Bedrock has trade grouping that prevents items of similar types from being offered more than once per trader.
All dyes are grouped (1 for 3, 12 uses), all seeds are grouped (1 for 1, 12 uses), both mushrooms are grouped (1 for 1, 12 uses), all coral blocks are grouped (3 for 1, 8 uses), and all saplings are grouped (5 for 1, 8 uses).
In Java , entity shadows are more smoothly rounded than on Bedrock .[ 962]
Foxes behave differently across editions.
Have different chances of holding eggs (15%[JE only /20%[BE only ) or feathers (20%[JE only /15%[BE only ) when spawned.
In Bedrock , they always drop the item they spawn with when killed; in Java , they have an 8.5% chance of doing so.
When killed, adult foxes drop 1–2XP in Java and 1–3XP in Bedrock . Drowned equipment spawn rates differ.
Have a 3% chance to spawn with a nautilus shell in their offhand in JE, as opposed to 7% in BE. In Java Edition , each cartographer sells its own unique explorer map that points to a different location than other cartographers. Purchasing another explorer map from the same cartographer results in the same explorer map. In Bedrock Edition , a cartographer sells explorer maps that point to the nearest unexplored location, regardless of whether it has been previously mapped by another cartographer. After a player explores the location, the cartographer sells a new map.
In Java Edition , the movement of a mount is controlled by its passenger, if both the mount and the passenger are mobs (not players). In Bedrock Edition , for most of rideable mobs, when its mob passenger tries to chase and attack player or mobs, the passenger takes control, otherwise the mount controls movement.
In Java Edition feeding baby animals reduces the time remaining until they grow up by 10%. In Bedrock Edition feeding baby animals reduces the total amount of time until they grow up by 10%, meaning feeding a baby animal 10 times in a row will cause them to immediately become an adult.
Most entities have different hitbox sizes in each edition. Color code §6, gold, has shadow color 2A2A00 in Java and 402A00 in Bedrock .
Commands that provide block states is written [key=value,key=value] in Java , and ["key"="value","key"="value"] in Bedrock .[ 963]
Completely different /tellraw /titleraw Bedrock Edition
Java has /forceload Bedrock has /tickingarea Different sound volume levels between editions.
The file names for music tracks by C418 differ. On Java , tracks use their title from the soundtrack[upcoming: BE 26.40 , but on Bedrock , tracks use a generic name (e.g. "subwoofer_lullaby.ogg" on Java , "hal1.ogg" on Bedrock )[ 964]
Menu music stops playing in Java Edition when the player leaves the main menu and stops playing in Bedrock Edition when a loading screen finishes.
Some music tracks play in different biomes in different editions.[ 966]

There is a new policy about accepting certain parity issues in the bug tracker ; this was not in effect until late April 2020. A parity issue can be reported in the bug tracker if all of these following criteria are met:
It is present both in Java Bedrock
It behaves differently across editions.
It was introduced or explicitly changed in Buzzy Bees or later. this post by a moderator on the Mojira subreddit for more details.
↑ Worked on by redoing combat again, this new version is planned for both Bedrock and Java (see Java Edition Combat Tests ).
↑ Such as + to show hitboxes, + to show chunk borders, etc.
↑ For example, it may detail if you were trying to escape a player/mob. See the list of death messages . For death messages from Buzzy Bees onward, see MCPE-98552
↑ Refers to the Mojang Studios logo.
↑ This leads to more accurate and consistent translations. For example: "Easy" (difficulty) is translated in Dutch as "Makkelijk" in JE and incorrectly as "Makkie" in BE, which is informal.
↑ For Bedrock Dedicated Server .
↑ Present in the Legacy Console Edition, even though it didn't receive the combat changes.
↑ For example, coral can be placed on glass. See the full list here .
↑ See this section for more details.
↑ a b This is considered to be working as intended both in Java Edition and in Bedrock Edition . Though the Bedrock behavior is intended, Jens Bergensten decided to keep the Java one.
↑ For example, torches can be placed on the back of stairs. See this section for a full comparison .
↑ a b c d e f g h This feature is either unused or inaccessible without the use of cheats, commands or external software.
↑ Also applies to carrot on a stick and warped fungus on a stick .
↑ This is considered a bug both in Java and in Bedrock , though the Bedrock behavior seems to be the intended one.
↑ a b c d Currently the sounds are already in Bedrock Edition , however it is unused.
↑ For example, if a player had one iron ingot, the recipe book would show not just iron nuggets, but also pistons and iron doors.
↑ See Bedrock Edition exclusive splashes for more details.
↑ This doesn't remove the ability to use third-party content outside Marketplace, except on consoles such as Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintento Switch, where the ecosystem is restricted.
↑ Currently testing in Minecraft Preview / Beta, before being fully released.
↑ See this section for a full comparison list.
↑ This doesn't include cherry, azalea and flowering azalea leaves.
↑ A similar issue happens when de-powering/reconnecting redstone wires in certain directions in Java Edition , due to MC-11193
↑ See this table for comparison.
↑ This is a side-effect of the invisible barrier at Y=-104
↑ See this section for more details.
↑ Doesn't happen in Java anymore as of 1.14 due to MC-148379
↑ Doesn't happen in Java due to MC-127433
↑ See raid loot for full list.
↑ MC-161182 MC-151161 ↑ See this section for comparison.
↑ Java uses the gamerule command for this purpose.
↑ Java uses the maxChainCommandLength gamerule for this purpose.
↑ Java uses the HideFlags item tag for this purpose.
↑ See also this user list for more thorough explanations.
↑ For more details, see the bastion remnant loot tables .
↑ For more details, see the jungle pyramid loot tables .
