Minecraft Java runs like dog shit. Making a faster port of it was worth it. They just botched it because Microsoft got its hands on it.

Oh yeah that totally explains why it's always been perfectly fine for me as long as I'm not looking at a giant wall of those shelves that display their contents from whatever modpack that was.

Bedrock routinely outperforms java.

Just because you're perfectly fine doesn't mean all other machines are.

So? What's that got to do with making it cross platform?

I could ask what makes food hot and you would come in here telling me your refrigerator brand uses less electricity.

I wasn't strictly talking about cross platform. I was talking about performance, which is tangential to the cross platform thing.

If you're planning on making a game cross platform, you should choose a language that performs well for gaming on all platforms. Java ain't that. Which answers your question:

In what world is c++ better for cross platform than Java?

C++ is better for this application.
