gollark: It's very officious.

gollark: I'm not sure if the resource waste is Java's fault so much as just bad code they haven't improved on.

gollark: <@288568024498438145> It's less horribly resource intensive and has a built in mods API.

gollark: Bedrock Edition is waaay better for that, but also wrecks moddability and has many other antifeatures.

gollark: It seems to be the case that Java Edition is just horribly technically unsound.
