The solution to the “two week Minecraft phase”:
Have multiple “phases” consecutively.

Basically, instead of just doing something like one world or one server then stopping it, you try to look for different things, so, for example, you can do stuff like doing a vanilla world, but you also try looking at some minigames servers to try that you can play on after you get bored of your vanilla world, then you could do other things like modded Minecraft, different servers, and different challenges, so that you can suck yourself into Minecraft for as long as possible without getting bored and proving those people wrong who say Minecraft is just a two week phase.

Minecraft Java is getting another improvement with the latest drop! Chat messages can be saved when you die in the middle of typing one so that you can continue saying it, and there is an option to save unsent chats in case you don't want them to be wiped when you reopen the chat menu.

You will be able to chat inside of nether portals, which could potentially stop portal softlock traps from being as useful on plugin servers, or really in general, since you can now tell people you're trapped.

“End Flashes” were added to Minecraft in the Chase the Skies update on bedrock edition, and they're getting added in the latest drop on Java edition.

So, normally, the End will look normal, but every minute or so, the ground slowly flashes over to purple then back to normal again. A skylight is also getting added so that even though the ground level is 0, the sky level is 15.
It's a pretty nice ambient feature that adds a bit of aesthetic to the End.

Not sure why you all hyped up the End update so much though.

Sounds cool, I have used bedrock a bit since chase the skies (but not much), and the end did surprise me.
Do you know anything about vibrant visuals getting added to Java? It wouldn't run on this 12 year old laptop probably, but it is weird it has not been added yet.

Personally I think they don't need to add Vibrant Visuals to Java because it's incredibly easy to add a shader to your game, and if you're on PC and don't want to mod your game you can just play Bedrock.

*cough* Minecraft mods *cough* modern java pvp *cough* *cough* 1.8 pvp *cough*

Yeah, I don't think I need to explain why that statement's false.

I guess, although the first one (Minecraft modding) is not really valid, since modders would know how to add shaders. (Also if you reply to only a certain part of the post please bold that part instead of snipping the rest unless the OG post was incredibly long) But the point does somewhat still stand - if you're looking for a different type of PvP, you probably aren't also going to care about Vibrant Visuals in your PvP, especially not if you go back to 1.8, in which case you'd need to install shaders anyway.

Well… There is another thing to consider. Vanilla survival mode. In Java Edition, there are a bunch of differences between the vanilla survival experience between Java and Bedrock, such as offhanding items and blocks, different mob behaviors, and a lot of other various mechanics (map markers, for example) that make Java stand out from Bedrock for a different experience. There's also things like amplified worlds in Java, and those things would be great with Vibrant Visuals.

Also, I feel like Vibrant visuals is supposed to be a more tame/light version of shaders, that wouldn't cause as much lag and wouldn't look too realistic so that it still fits into the game. So even if you know how to use shaders, you could use vibrant visuals if you want nice lighting but nothing that looks photorealistic.

As someone who uses vibrant visuals, it 100% causes lag and apparently is worse than RTX
