The Java client is still in development?

Yes, Java is still important. The vast majority of user-generated content on servers is pretty much Java only. I also believe Java is still the authoritative version of the game (i.e. things come to Java first, before eventually coming out to Bedrock) - the lead game designer for Minecraft is a Java dev.
I just really miss code connection in the Java version. It was the only way I found to teach programming for my kids, but they loath the C# version
