One day...

[Block Game]

I've seen comments around here that say that all MC versions above 1.8 suck and that servers using later versions won't work. It has been suggested that is the reason the "MC Market Minecraft Server" isn't getting players. I would like to point out tho, that:

one day,

all Minecraft servers will be 1.11+ and you might have to learn to PvP with that style (unless the servers decide to disable that PvP style with NBT tags). At the very least, 1.11+ clients will be required to join servers. One day

1.8 won't stay forever. It's 3 versions behind already and it'll be behind even more when 1.12 comes out (the snapshot is out already).

What kind of game do you think Minecraft will be if the players stop updating?

All the years I've played Minecraft, I have never seen such big playerbase update delay as 1.9+ has.

Nobody was playing 1.5 or 1.6 when 1.8 came out, so why are people playing 1.8 when 1.11 is out?

won't be surprised when its like fucking 1.36 or what the fuck ever, and we still have speds on 1.8

1.8's pvp mechanic was the one we were familiar with Alot of new kids that think 1.9 is better, didn't grow up with spam click and the intensity of each fight in pvp battles. Nowadays its more of lucky chance and timing to prove "skill". Spam clicking isnt skill but clearly it was more fun, and gets kids to "Hack" on servers and get banned. Like c'mon.

What you say is true about all servers will be 1.11+ someday, but I feel that until the entreprenuers (us) decide to switch to 1.11 due to market population demand shifting to 1.11+, we will stick with 1.8 for some time.

entreprenuers (us)

Where can I join the entreprenuers club that you speak for?

There is no defined superior version. A server should pick the version that fits the most with what they are aiming for. There are some great survival features in the later versions that vanilla survival and towny should really have, and there are some classic (and good in some peoples opinion) fighting mechanics in the earlier ones that fit a PvP server, and then comes everything about some people prefering following MC version and plugin compatibility. There is no defined right answer, and anybody who says that doesnt understand what prefences and opinions are, and shouldnt try making servers a career

People who come on MCM, spigot, other similar forums, are the entreprenuers. Its a general broad term, do not get technical with me.

Some people prefer 1.8 others prefer the versions above 1.8. While other people prefer 1.7. There is no ''best'' or ''worst''. Just a personal preference.

1.8 has alot of advantages as it has enough of a developer market and userbase to keep most plugins 1.8+ and not 1.9+.

1.7 is outdated since 1.8 and 1.7 changed the game mechanics with new blocks and such which I suspect is why 1.7 - 1.11.2 doesnt work.

Informative I think?

Call me dumb, but I didn't understand your last sentence.

I'm saying 1.7 is outdated that most plugins don't support it because its not compatible with 1.8 - 1.11.2, and I believe its because a lot of new mechanics in MC and blocks were introduced in 1.8+ versions thus 1.7 not compatible at all.
