What blocks exist in Minecraft BE that do NOT exist in JE and vice-versa?
I recently learned that there are blocks that exist within minecraft-bedrock-edition that do NOT exist in minecraft-java-edition. As a result, I'm left to wonder:
- What blocks exist in minecraft-bedrock-edition that do NOT exist in minecraft-java-edition?
- What blocks exist in minecraft-java-edition that do NOT exist in minecraft-bedrock-edition?
