To begin with - it's complicated. Yes I know that this is just a stereotypical thing to say but it's true. Due to the fact that every single update is different, you can't really tell very well which updates were worth more or less than others and it's not like there is just a tally of exactly how many hours developers spent on each project, but this should give a general overview.
To make things easy, I created a table ordered by date closest to furthest of each and every update. Included is the date, name, version and update type of each update.
Some general statistics:
- There were a total of 27 updates during 2019
- 9 out of 27 (33%) of all the updates were seasonal updates
- Java had updates to other features that it received that bedrock could not (Loot System stuff)
- There were only 4 updates (15%) that were specifically map updates
- Only one entirely new game was added during the year - Chaos Skywars
- In the last quarter of the year, there was only seasonal and map updates
Summary:
So, the part you've all been waiting for - overall, java generally received more updates over the course of the year. Java received more reasonably sized general game updates (3 vs 2). While both versions received a brand new game over the year, Bedrock received Chaos Skywars - a game that is paid only, has a low user count and low impact. Meanwhile, Java received 1.8 FFA which was a reasonably requested gamemode that has a reasonable amount of people on. Bedrock then didn't even get a single thing from the Valentine's update despite all Java getting being maps and the bundle as well as getting far more maps overall than Java did. Additionally, Java also had updates to it's loot system, which added and changed some heavily asked for content such as the achievements and challenges system.
If you think I've missed anything out, please let me know.
