>I think every java private server admin has nightmares where they wake up one day and read that java minecraft is being discontinued...

If that happened I have a feeling Minecraft would fork with an open source rewrite taking over on the java side.

More likely most will just stick to their binaries for the latest version. Most MC players I know want to play the game not hack it.

And mod developers would heave a sigh of relief. The version treadmill is the hardest part of maintaining a mod; everything bitrots.

    You don't need to maintain anything if it don't exist, like mods support in bedrock edition

I mean, Bedrock/Java are already pretty thoroughly forked?

    No one who plays on private servers cares about bedrock. There are just too many helper plugins on Java.

    And I don’t think bedrock is a fork, more like a reimplementation. Too many subtle differences.

      Bedrock is the C++ rewrite they did for supporting lower-resourced systems like phones and consoles. Which is why it doesn't run horribly like the Java version does but also why it has a whole bunch of differences from the Java version that may or may not be relevant (lack of mods being the primary one!)

        And they reduced the world update size drastically in the name of draw distance.
