Most Popular Minecraft Version?

[Hazv]

I'm looking to make a server. What is the most popular version used?

 

[Danny Q.]

If it's going to be a PvP Related server then 1.7-1.8. If it's going to be minigames or something along those lines then 1.12

I personally will only play 1.7-1.8. Only exception: If the dev server I'm on/will be using is not changeable to another version.

I'd prefer 1.7.10 the most. However, if you're going to add MiniGames then I would recommend 1.8.8.

Depends on What Server.

I'd prefer 1.7.10 the most. However, if you're going to add MiniGames then I would recommend 1.8.8.

Id say Latest Version! For Minigames

Most servers "Factions / PvP based" Are 1.7.10 / 1.8x - While gamemodes like Pixelmon would rather be 1.11x & 1.12

Skyblock. Is that still popular?

Broaden the spectrum first. Explain what type of server you're making, who you want to market to. You cannot just assume "1.8" as there are people who love role play servers which is better on 1.9+. If you're looking for a PvP type of server such as a factions server or survival games, then all the way 1.8. All versions are decently popular, and most people who PvP play on 1.7 - 1.8. You can see 1.8 is popular for pvp. http://prntscr.com/glpi0o & 1.12 is popular for survival type servers. http://prntscr.com/glpi7f

Really depends what kind of server you are making.
Is it PvP? Go with the version before the PvP changes.
Is it Minigames? Go with the latest. This is because it solves bug fixes and gives your builders more blocks to create maps.
Is it Survival? Go with the version that still supports the mayor used mods like minimap.
I think that will cover the most Good luck with your choice!

I use 1.8 with Forge mods for 1.7 Hit Detection and 1.7 Block Hitting and more

Autistic kids = 1.8 - mineplex/hypixel
Gods = 1.7.10 - HCF, pvp, gg ez

1.7x 1.8x is the best in my opinion.
PvPers use 1.7.10 a lot, this version also reduces lag, and 1.8 is the most widely used version.
