Bedrock vs Java
Both editions have the same seven dinos, the same gear and Archie. These are the differences you will notice.
Getting the game
Section titled “Getting the game”- Price. The Java mod is free on CurseForge and Modrinth. The Bedrock add-on is a paid add-on on the Minecraft Marketplace.
- Where you can play. Java runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Bedrock runs on Windows, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, iOS and Android.
- What you need. Java needs Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge or Fabric, plus the AstemirLib mod. Bedrock needs nothing extra.
Finding dinos
Section titled “Finding dinos”- How they appear. On Bedrock all dinos spawn on their own. On Java the Lushsaur, Therimoss and Obsidiceratops come with small structures, so look in places you have not explored yet. The Bedrock Lushsaur also lives in Dripstone Caves.
- Health. Most dinos are tougher on Bedrock. A Lushsaur has this much health: 50 on Java, 65 on Bedrock.
Taming
Section titled “Taming”- Lushsaur and Obsidiceratops. On Bedrock they want a set number of treats. On Java every treat is a roll of the dice.
- Coralosaur. On Java it needs 5 Coral Stews. On Bedrock every stew has a 20% chance. To breed it you use Coral Stew on Java and any coral on Bedrock.
The Sculksaur
Section titled “The Sculksaur”- The fight. On Bedrock you shoot off its warts first, and it drops a pile of loot when it dies. On Java only Pus Tipped Arrows can finish it, and you only get the toxin it drops during the fight.
- Recipes. Some recipes are different: the Lushsaur Mace, the Chorus Scythe, the Scorching Horn, the toxin arrows, and the Lushsaur and Therimoss armor. The Items and Armor pages show both. Some names differ too: the Pus Tipped Arrow on Java is the Sculk Tipped Arrow on Bedrock.
- Guidebook. On Bedrock you can craft it. On Java you get it from Archie for a Book.
- Trophies. Only Bedrock has dino trophies. Place one and it gives you a buff while you stay close.
