Kind of.
Yes, you could call Bedrock add-ons âmodsâ. But regardless of name theyâre clearly a different can of worms, more limited in capability - to the point that most are simply fluff, not changing the game in meaningful ways. Contrast that with the huge survival, industrial, exploration etc. modpacks that exist for Java, that basically use MC as an engine instead of a game. (Or even individual mods. Terrafirmacraft Iâm looking at you.)
To give you an idea, CurseForge lists ten times as many Java mods than Bedrock addons, with half of them being stuff like TPs, skins, maps. So if you really want to see Bedrock addons as âmodsâ, my point changes from âBedrock has no modsâ to âBedrock has mods, but they donât matter in the big picture since people playing and modding Minecraft are mostly doing it with Java Editionâ. The conclusion is still the same.

@Blisterexe@lemmy.zip mentioned that it has less CPU overhead and better OpenGL drivers. I never noticed a big difference for vanilla because itâs typically mods that make your computer shit bricks.

The problem of something relying on a 3rd party dev like this is that MS can easily pull off the plug if it so desires, in ways that wouldnât look like arseholery but âprotecting its own IPâ: copyright trolling, abusive terms and conditions, etc.
Currently it has no reasons to do so, as it would counter its best interests. But itâs clear that, if Microsoft got its way with Bedrock, and players migrated in mass to Bedrock (to the point that the Java version was deprecated), MS would have all the reasons to pull off the plug.
