I remember when the c++ edition came out, but have not really followed since then.

Are all of the servers/mods still written in Java and it was just the desktop client that was rewritten in c++? Or is there a division between Java mods and c++ mods?

Behavior packs, for Bedrock, are written in JSON and TypeScript. The client and server software is written and C++. Most people make mods using the built in modding support as I mentioned and are not making C++ mods. Most C++ mods are hack clients.

two versions still exist in parallel: Java edition for PCs, and Bedrock edition (c++) for everything else

the main modding community is around java edition

Spot on. You can also play Bedrock on a PC if that's your poison.
