Why did Mojang make a whole new edition instead of just rewriting Minecraft in C++? - eviltoast

Basically title, this thing with two editions of the game slows down development because they now have to write the same thing twice and it splits the userbase. They also don’t want to make Bedrock edition for Linux for some reason.

    Well … BE is just a rewrite in C++. But a bad and inflexible one, as we see, so it’s very good that we have JE. Lets see for how long, not because discontinuing it would be good for users, but would grant M$ much more control and direct power.
