Opinion about removing 1.8
I would love to adress everyone from cubecraft with my thread and mention my concerns about the decision of cubecraft to remove the 1.8 network.
As most of you have heard about it, cubecraft has decided to shut down their 1.8 network on the 15th June, 2021.
For those who haven't heard about yet, here is the link to the thread.

My opinion and concerns:
I have to say that updating cubecraft to a version higher than 1.12 is necessarily.
Changes are necessarily to things as they keep something alive and sustainable.
In the case of Minecraft,updates keep the game alive and offer new possibilities to the game.
If Cubecraft would ubdate to a future ubdate for 1.16 example, you would have a bunch of new weapons which enhance your PvP experience (e.g. crossbow with rockets, trident and Netherite equipment.)
Things that cubecraft isn't making use of which is a waste of potential.
In economics a company has to introduce new products to make new profit and be able to achieve a positive income.
The same goes to cubecraft as to any other server that is basically a company.
They have to create to products/games and advertise those to get customers and be able to sustain themselves.
Without these, the server can't make an income through it's store if there is no income and would face bankruptcy.
But that goes too far out of the topic.
I agree that cubecraft has to ubdate as changes are necessarily but on the other side, removing 1.8 isn't like you would not only remove a version but entire communities.
Communities which have their home on the 1.8 network and with the ubdate you wouldn't only remove just a version but entire communities which are in my opinion abd I believe in others opinion, an essential part of cubecraft and with removing them, you woukd remove a some cubecraft.
Younisco said that people who prefer 1.8 can move to the Bedrock Edition of cubecraft but without being disrespectful.
It's a bold assumption because not every Java player owns a license copy of the Bedrock Edition and in addition both Java and Bedrock Edition have different mechanics which can make to people the difference.
Both versions have the same content but different game mechanics which makes people prefer one version
over the other.
What cubecraft is for me
Cubecraft for me is not just a server where you just play a random game but a place of communities.
Communities where I can meet close-minded people to whom I can talk and spend a good amount of time.
Not only that, cubecraft is a place where you can play classic games, but also unique games which make cubecraft stand out of other servers give us players a unique experience in the world of Minecraft.
My alternative solution
Without questioning, updating is necessarily but removing communities is in my opinion a big mistake in my eyes.
Instead of removing cubecraft's 1.8 communities.
I suggest that the 1.8 cubecraft communities get taken with to the +1.12 ubdate, including the combat.
The past...
Cubecraft used to have in the past two types of FFA.
1.9 and 1.8 and both were accessible on any version up from 1.9.
Basically you were able to play 1.8 combat on any higher version from 1.9.
Surely it isn't the same as actual 1.8 combat on 1.8 but honestly, there are tons of servers that offer such type of PvP and my opinion Cubecraft is a server where it stands out of other servers and which is where Cubecraft can point and attract more people with offering something unique which other servers have not.
With having 1.8 PvP stimulated in the higher versions, we not only have the 1.8 Combat but also more stuff such as Elytras, trident and more which can enhance the PvP experience.
The Future!
For the future, Mojang is planning to change the combat again which is still work in progress and speculating about it is kinda pointless but for sure Cubecraft is planning to ubdate as some information of that can be found in one of Socratias SocCast in the interview with Dawson, the Dev for Sentinel.
Back to the combat, if Cubecraft would decide to ubdate to the new combat, it would mean that 1.9 combat would be removed aswell and with it several communities aswell if they don't move to the higher versions.
My suggestion is that Cubecraft offers for now both combats in +1.12 and for the future all 3 combat systems in the latest Minecraft versions.
The benefit of this would be that there would be no more separation caused by changing versions but also bring all Cubecraft communities closer and make them work together which would also make people from the one combat system more likely to try out the other combat system.
People would more likely to try out the other combat system because it would no longer require to start minecraft again on a different version which is for some people (including myself) annoying.
To me Cubecraft is a place of communities and unique games and I would wish that it would remain like that.
My Idea
•Updating to +1.12 or higher version.
•Add accordingly 1.8 combat stimulated in 1.12
(Add the popular 1.8 modes such as FFA and Egg Wars stimulated to +1.12, if it is a success, potentially do the same with other modes.
Potentially do later do the same with 1.8 and 1.9 in the new combat in the future)
Final words
Removing communities is a mistake because those are part of cubecraft and cubecraft is a place to offer us players unique experience which make cubecraft at all stand out of other servers.
In the end it is up to cubecraft what direction they decide to go but as a player I can state my opinion and concerns freely and without us players, there would be no server.
I do hope that cubecraft is going to reconsider their program for the 1.12 network ubdate and make a solution which would satisfy most people.
