Vanity update on the basis If 1.12

[Hypixel Network]

Well you didn't understand what she even said so there's that...

Why do we care so much about players being able to access from so many different versions? If players are willing to go back as far as 1.8 to play on a server, why wouldn't they go to 1.12? Besides, most players don't even customize their launcher meaning it is on the latest version which means they will be playing in 1.12 already. And if you are worried players won't know, just change the text in multiplayer thing (where you connect to servers) to say 1.8/1.12+ exclusive. And if they join in 1.9, it will say your client is out of date.
We will need to update at some point. 1.9 came out a long time ago and I think sometime soon is the time to update.

Exactly. 1.13 has been in development for the past month anyway. Its an update that fixes block ids so they can get more updates coming. Cubecraft should at least update after every 3 versions

I think it would be great if they updated and was just a 1.8/1.12+ server. Some things changed in 1.11 that'll make PvP a bit more interesting. I hear of people sticking to 1.8 because of the combat, but I don't think people play 1.9/1.10 when they might as well be on the latest version. I don't see this happening though, at least not until 1.13 when they make a lot of technical tweaks, since the changes then might affect viaversion and force them to update (which would be a nightmare for solely 1.8+ servers).

Wouldnt it be funny if mojang suddenly invalidates all versions except the latest one?

Look, terribly sorry about necroposting, wont happen again. Rumor spread that management wants something along the lines of a vanity update + this is still a solid idea.

This was posted in June and was nearly ignored with exceptions. If you’d updated then we would’nt have the problem now.

Anyway, I dont want to repost this since that would have no purpose at all.

If we update to 1.12, then we will not be able to add any of the mobs / blocks from there due to our cross-compatibility with other versions. A player in 1.9 will not be able to see a parrot, or a llama, or any of the new things because they are in a later version -- meaning the only way that this will be achieved is to make another splitting for 1.12, which only adds a few extra vanity things, which is very minor.

People have been asking for this since June. A vanity update could really go well with an entire server update.
