Spontaneous Explosions

Ya know, really the Minecraft community owes a lot to Console Edition. For example, the 1.9 ender dragon fight changes. The end pillars are consistent, they 2 of them have iron bar cages around them, and the end portal is there at the beginning. These features were a port to Java Edition from Console Edition. And it's quite possible that the other changes to the End in 1.9 happened as a result of this. I mean, maybe they decided to port this from Console, then decided to further change the End. Idk. But Console Edition is the reason one of the(arguably) best features in 1.9. But many, many features in Bedrock 1.2 were from Console Edition. And Console Edition will continue to influence the future of Minecraft(Because 4J Studios, the company that ported Minecraft to consoles, is working on developing Bedrock, making it better for Xbox users. And Bedrock will likely be influencing Java. 

I'm glad 4J is ending Console Edition on a high note, by making the last update be(arguably) the best update(Update Aquatic) 

*Note: If you play Minecraft on PS4, you'v nothing to worry about. It will continue to get updates, for a while at least. If you hear about Sony getting Bedrock on ps4, worry.
