Bedrock performs fantastically and can be played in VR - but sadly lacks the things about Java that I actually liked.
The new generation of mods (e.g. Create) also have their charm, but they lost the simplicity - as did the game in general. And I am glad that's the case, wouldn't it be way worse if everything stayed the same?
All the other item transportation mods had the decency of checking whether the destination inventory can actually hold your items.
Bedrock… mixed feelings on it myself. I don’t think I’m alone - you can find no shortage of videos saying 4J did a better job on consoles than Microsoft’s glorified mobile game.
People still run those old mods, see GregTech New Horizons for an example.
