Which Version Should My Server Be?

[Chaillan]

Hey guys, I wanna make a factions server but not sure which version I should use. Which version do you guys prefer and what would be the best for factions.
Thanks, Chaillan.

Obviously 1.8.8

All the big factions servers use it and everyone who PVPs usually uses it. You can add via version to it and it will support all versions.

If it's full on competitive, maybe 1.7.10 paperspigot with viaversion or 1.8.8 paperspigot with protocolsupport + viaversion

1.7.10 isn't really supported by the developers of ViaVersion but whatever floats your boat.

I'm just looking for what people are interested in more than what is more useful, I might do 1.9

Some players wouln't like factions servers on 1.9 due to the combat update

Use 1.8.

You can use a Spigot plugin called 'ViaVersion' to allow users on 1.8 and above to connect.

I'm starting to see servers running the latest and greatest (1.12.1 for example) with PvP-oriented gamemodes a lot more lately.

It's probably related to the fact that you can get plugins that revert the combat changes. Seems like a lot of people don't like the changes introduced with 1.9.

If you're going to do that and use ProtocolSupport, don't forget the ProtocolSupportStuff addon so that PvP works correctly for everyone.

Thanks, never knew that was a thing.
Much appreciated
