Can I get Minecraft Bedrock Edition to work on Windows 8?

I am forced to play on Java edition because our computers won't go past Windows 8. Is there any way to get the Bedrock features such as commands and game mechanics on Windows 8? Maybe a mod or something like that. i really want this to work.

Solution 1:

tag is available in Java Edition.

Syntax:

• tag <targets> add <name>
• tag <targets> list
• tag <targets> remove <name>

testfor can be replaced with the improved execute from 1.13. Instead of doing testfor <targets> in a command block with a comparator to activate another command, you can run execute if entity <targets> run <some command>.
