But Minecraft’s ecosystem makes it super easy to run any version you like best. Play the Minecraft you loved and ignore the latest versions if you don’t like them. It’s basically just a game engine anyway, the actual game is all the mods you install.
Definitely a good point, Minecraft would have faded without the modding scene, especially performance mods which seem to be the backbone of any Java based playthrough. That’s also part of my problem, I don’t want to have to download mods to turn off the telemetry, chat reports, a button for their servers that are awful. I’d rather invest my time in an open source solution like minetest or other non MSoft options if I’m relying on mods to remove junk.
