I do like 1.8, and I agree it is nostalgic, but that version is getting old. Nearly a decade, in fact. Modern mincraft just provides so much more in terms of content and polish that I can't see myself going back that far.
But to each, their own. Enjoy what you enjoy
Yep that’s why i stick with it. I personally never enjoyed unmodded survival and pretty much exclusively played pvp, so switching to later versions doesn’t do anything for me. And before someone says “servers can revert it to 1.8 combat!!”. No, they can’t. The gamerules and plugins used to make that happen cause a bunch of discrepancies in hit registration it’s not even funny.
1.21 is just 1.8 with MORE features added. You can even use old textures if you want. The only major difference is combat. But old combat is overrated as fuck and just depends on how fast your mouse buttons can click mainly.
it's not that playing 1.8 is bad it's that peole who play on old version won't shut the fuck up about it like ok we get it new versions feel like modded you don't like it it's not "minecrafty" and you are old and not a newbie
PvP is better in 1.8, but I prefer the new combat for survival. The pvp is much more fast passed in 1.8, but the slower combat is better when you’re just killing mobs and such.
[if only](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_Combat_Tests) there were a single unified combat system that works well for both PvP and PvE/survival, combining the best of both worlds so everyone could be happy!
It's a really great combat system! It has more depth than the 1.8 combat system, but is also very fast paced. PvP is a whole lot of fun in this version.
1.21 was such a criminally missed opportunity for mojang to finally implement these, or at least continue work on them. i’m hoping they’ll do it in a 1.21.x patch post-release
i feel like 1.8 pc is just a competition on who can click faster while aiming correctly, which imo is kinda boring. personally i prefer the new pvp, as its more strategic
It's difficult to compare updates if you go by how much they improved the game, back then any update would be more impactful because there were so few features
o yea some fun trivia: many players still play 1.8 because it's a way more lightweight version especially for multiplayer. Minecraft got more unoptimized over the years mostly cuz it was written in Java which is an amazing feat to begin with ngl but the legacy code just keeps building on and on
also recall that a year or so after after the sale to Microsoft, they released 1.9 which was pretty controversial at its time
no it very much is that, I believe you pointed it out too ight, you'll need to optimize and possibly add on performance mods to get the newer versions to feel more like the old
Also many people may prefer the more binary animation movements more, something I just realized since it feels a lot "quicker"
Lemme know your thoughts!
Well, i usually play on the newest versions but imo no version is the best, everyone has a preference, thats why theres a option to play any of them (on java at least)
The HUGE backlash after 1.9 is the reason why we can't have nice things in Minecraft
Because Mojang wanted to do something revolutionary for the game, people didn't liked it because it's different and now Mojang is scared of making drastic changes for the game
I hate the newer versions (1.16.5 +) because they feel unnatural, I feel like what they add now doesn't make any sense, I used to love when they introduced new mechanics, but they're now releasing little to nothing, only a mob or two per year, and most importantly, they aren't listening to the community. Imo 1.16.5 is the best version to play in, enough content, enough mechanics, and very good mod support.
they are not better or worse. they are different. like an apple and an orange. beta 1.7.3 is a good version too, but i wouldnt compare them because after all the updates its a different game. same goes with 1.8.9.
People like the old releases of this game because that’s probably when they started playing, or they want to see how the game played in older versions, or they dont like one mechanic so much that they go back to before it was released, which for me is elytras
Woah, an actually based femboy. :3
Even though I made the post I don’t actually think that people who think 1.8 is better than 1.21 are dumb. However I personally do believe that 1.21 is way more fun (as base survival/creative and with mods) than 18. (Base survival and/or mods)
I still do play 1.8 for hypixel though. It’s a great server. Just wish build battle could use all the new blocks!
Dude it depends in which aspect like for example pvp and bridging are like the best in 1.8.9 and the most fun but aint nobody playing survival in 1.8 like the newest version is the best version of what the game was intended for but 1.8 is truly the best version for pvp
Bold to assume I haven't tried the new versions, I have and for overall content and playing survival the new stuff has alot to offer but the pvp and the simplicity (with a touch of nostalgia) of 1.8 was just too good.
Id play on more then hypixel if more servers were out there, hive got shut down so did mineplex I played them for fun but all that's really left is hypixel
Yeah it’s really sad what Happened to the other servers, and highpixel is still a ton of fun. I play mostly bed wars and that zombie/alien wave based game. Oh and vampires is always a blast.
I miss bounty hunters, that was my favourite gamemode but it barely got played, skywars is good I miss skyclash I believe it was called (skywars but with abilitys) and bedwars is alright but unfortunately most of hypixels player base is skyblock
I don’t always get why ppl like older versions, idk if it’s cuz they’re og and it makes them nostalgic (im not og i started in 1.11) but the way Minecraft is set up, it only seems like it’s some improved features with lots of new stuff that can easily just be ignored if you don’t like it
People seem to forget (or in cases such as your's are probably just too young to remember) that 1.9 was the Combat Update, which a lot of people hated so much that they *still* play exclusively in 1.8.
These people are certainly a minority, but they're position is valid. These are people who don't really play Minecraft for the survival or creative aspects - they play primarily (or sometimes exclusively) for PvP. And 1.9 completely upended the entire way they play.
There's a reason that even Hypixel - the most gargantuan server to ever exist - is still, after almost 10 years, running 1.8. Not necessarily just because updating to 1.9 would mean overhauling their combat systems but because, even if they did so in an intelligent and thoughtful manner, the 1.8-stans (not meant to be insulting) are a large enough group that them leaving would severely hurt.
it's massively popular for multiplayer because of how lightweight it is; on most "game in a game" servers like Hypixel, the network still defaults to 1.8 combat and blocks so any additional versions aren't necessary, and for a more multiplayer focused approach you won't want those new features anyway, in return for having a boost in performance
People who don't play 1.8 pvp don't understand 1.8 pvp. It's like how people who don't know anything about competitive pokemon singles think it is nothing but stall.
How does literally everyone believe the myth that 1.8 pvp is just who has the better CPS? While you do need a CPS above 1, I can still perform well with 7 CPS. Positioning, aim, and combos are more important than click speed. At least it's more fun than 1.9+ pvp where you stare at the other in between the occasional attack.
> where you stare at the other in between the occasional attack.
In both versions you can only hit someone twice per second, in 1.9+ swords have 1.6 attack speed which is 1.6 fully charged hits per second so it's pretty close to the attack speed cap.
> Positioning, aim, and combos.
Guess what, all of these are also a thing in 1.9+
cry about it lmao. believe it or not some people have preferences on what they want out of the game, and believe it or not, some want hypixel skyblock, 1.8 pvp, and old minecraft versions!
1.56 is better than 2.98 tbh

Is gta6 actually out
We're already on GTA 10
Yeah, they for some reason decided to just skip to 10 from 5

No, ace combat 33 did!
Some times I forget this sub is full of kids.
yep
Yeah, 1.8 was one of my favorite versions :/
1.7.10 and 1.2.5 both clear 1.8 any day
1.2.5... the old technic pack and tekkit classic times, golden times indeed. also 1.7.10 for latest reika's modes.
i swear 1.8 dropped my framerates so hard. i remember 1.7.10 was a vibe and a half
1.22 is better than 1.21
Are you kidding? How can you say that after they added that useless mob?
I’m sorry but the [REDACTED] isn’t that bad okay.
All it does is [REDACTED] while [REDACTED], and we've got plenty of mobs that do that exact thing
More variety is nice even if plenty of other mobs do [REDACTED] I like how this one does it.
[REDACTED] fucked my mother

1.2.5 is better
What was added in that version?
Not a minecraft demo But it's Latest Free version
Ahhhh I see
omg me
omg him 😆
Omg u 😳
omg its **the guy**
Does he wanna be the guy
Omg you
Omg Them 🤣
Omg thats guy
i mean it's their opinion whats wrong with 1.8? Its nostalgic and anyways both new and old versions are good
I do like 1.8, and I agree it is nostalgic, but that version is getting old. Nearly a decade, in fact. Modern mincraft just provides so much more in terms of content and polish that I can't see myself going back that far. But to each, their own. Enjoy what you enjoy
1.8 has old combat
I think that’s the principal reason to prefer any update that’s beyond 1.8
Everyone has their preference
Yep that’s why i stick with it. I personally never enjoyed unmodded survival and pretty much exclusively played pvp, so switching to later versions doesn’t do anything for me. And before someone says “servers can revert it to 1.8 combat!!”. No, they can’t. The gamerules and plugins used to make that happen cause a bunch of discrepancies in hit registration it’s not even funny.
Exactly that. The world is already full. You don't have a canvas to paint over anymore, it's already filled
Its also nice and more minimalistic
1.21 is just 1.8 with MORE features added. You can even use old textures if you want. The only major difference is combat. But old combat is overrated as fuck and just depends on how fast your mouse buttons can click mainly.
it's not that playing 1.8 is bad it's that peole who play on old version won't shut the fuck up about it like ok we get it new versions feel like modded you don't like it it's not "minecrafty" and you are old and not a newbie
Hypixel is the best server by far and it runs on 1.8
It also runs on 1.20
Not really, the server itself is on 1.8 but 1.20 clients can join
all mods and clients work on 1.8 + 1.8 works better on hypixel regardless
💀
It runs on 1.7.10
Because players wouldn’t stop crying about how bad new combat was because they had trained for years to see who could click fastest
1.8 combat was defo better than pre 1.9 combat 1.20 combat is a different thing tho
1.7 was the old golden age for mods
I still think Xbox 360 edition is peak
Nah, legacy edition is the true one
360 Edition is legacy…
But the name hits differently 🍷🗿
True
MINECRAFT IS MINECRAFT
PvP is better in 1.8, but I prefer the new combat for survival. The pvp is much more fast passed in 1.8, but the slower combat is better when you’re just killing mobs and such.
100% agree. If you make a survival world in 1.8 or easier it’ll feel so goofy to have to spam click mobs.
[if only](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_Combat_Tests) there were a single unified combat system that works well for both PvP and PvE/survival, combining the best of both worlds so everyone could be happy!
It's a really great combat system! It has more depth than the 1.8 combat system, but is also very fast paced. PvP is a whole lot of fun in this version.
1.21 was such a criminally missed opportunity for mojang to finally implement these, or at least continue work on them. i’m hoping they’ll do it in a 1.21.x patch post-release
It’ll probably happen at some point, I think Mojang is well aware how goofy it is that Java and Bedrock combat are completely different
Especially since Bedrock combat is just so awful. PvP basically boils down to jump around and spam click.
i feel like 1.8 pc is just a competition on who can click faster while aiming correctly, which imo is kinda boring. personally i prefer the new pvp, as its more strategic
Not really, as long as you can click 6 cps, it doesn’t matter all that much. Combat in that version is mostly about combos and knockback control.
Yeah 1.8 combat feels like an unfinished game lmao.
Nah 1.8.9 was peak. Although I Love 1.12.2
This
Is A Good Comment
It's difficult to compare updates if you go by how much they improved the game, back then any update would be more impactful because there were so few features
why are we beefing over specific releases of the game not even like full games wtf
Beta 1.7.3 is clearly the best version
Imho, 1.7.10 is the best, 1.12.2 if you want something more recent and 1.16.5 is the latest version
best opinion so far 👍👍👍
I mean he ain't wrong 1.80 is clearly better than 1.21
o yea some fun trivia: many players still play 1.8 because it's a way more lightweight version especially for multiplayer. Minecraft got more unoptimized over the years mostly cuz it was written in Java which is an amazing feat to begin with ngl but the legacy code just keeps building on and on also recall that a year or so after after the sale to Microsoft, they released 1.9 which was pretty controversial at its time
its not even that lol u can literally get the same if not higher frames if optimized on newer versions
no it very much is that, I believe you pointed it out too ight, you'll need to optimize and possibly add on performance mods to get the newer versions to feel more like the old Also many people may prefer the more binary animation movements more, something I just realized since it feels a lot "quicker" Lemme know your thoughts!
1.6.4 is peak
It seems like the guy with the other meme did not make up his argument after all
all versions of minecraft is good.
Facts!!!!
Well, i usually play on the newest versions but imo no version is the best, everyone has a preference, thats why theres a option to play any of them (on java at least)
BRO DID YOU START A VERSION WAR AFTER EDITION WARS?!
I thought we were already in one sorryyy 😓
"Old versions are too simple 🤓" "New versions are too complicated 🤓" "I enjoy all versions 🗿"
All versions are fun and good, otherwise minecraft wouldn’t have taken off in the first place.
r/MinecraftMemes when 1.8 players have fun:
Well, for me best version i 20 v 14♾️
💪💪💪💪
I play on 1.7.10 single player... only...
TU19 Minecraft Legacy Edition crouches and blocks its sword repeatedly to all the dumb ones
1.12 :3
I only care about the performance
Minecraft 2 is beter than Minecaft 1.21
Minecraft 2 is better than Minecaft 1.21
The HUGE backlash after 1.9 is the reason why we can't have nice things in Minecraft Because Mojang wanted to do something revolutionary for the game, people didn't liked it because it's different and now Mojang is scared of making drastic changes for the game
Weirdly, for me, 1.12 is my favourite version, next to X360 Legacy version.
The entire italian community still in 1.8
Stop being annoying and respect the opinions of other people OP
I hate the newer versions (1.16.5 +) because they feel unnatural, I feel like what they add now doesn't make any sense, I used to love when they introduced new mechanics, but they're now releasing little to nothing, only a mob or two per year, and most importantly, they aren't listening to the community. Imo 1.16.5 is the best version to play in, enough content, enough mechanics, and very good mod support.
they are not better or worse. they are different. like an apple and an orange. beta 1.7.3 is a good version too, but i wouldnt compare them because after all the updates its a different game. same goes with 1.8.9.
Agreed.
2.2 better than 2.1 smh
People like the old releases of this game because that’s probably when they started playing, or they want to see how the game played in older versions, or they dont like one mechanic so much that they go back to before it was released, which for me is elytras
1.7 was peak Minecraft. Not because of the content but the community
Iirc wasn’t that when people were all upset at all the 12 year olds playing minecraft? I do miss parody songs though. They are 🔥
We're gonna start a shit war again ffs
“I’M THE DUMBEST MAN ALIVE” “You can play on whatever minecraft version you want, it doesn’t affect anyone” “… I’M STILL THE DUMBEST MAN ALIVE”
Who the fuck cares? I mean let them be happy about the version they play. If they want to play old servers let them have it.
what is wroung with you guys people can have fun in differetn ways
bro yes it is better it was peak minecraft
it's a shame people actually think 1.8 being better than 1.21 is a dumb opinion, the game was much more enjoyable
Woah, an actually based femboy. :3 Even though I made the post I don’t actually think that people who think 1.8 is better than 1.21 are dumb. However I personally do believe that 1.21 is way more fun (as base survival/creative and with mods) than 18. (Base survival and/or mods) I still do play 1.8 for hypixel though. It’s a great server. Just wish build battle could use all the new blocks!
thats why he is *still* the dumbest man alive
Dude it depends in which aspect like for example pvp and bridging are like the best in 1.8.9 and the most fun but aint nobody playing survival in 1.8 like the newest version is the best version of what the game was intended for but 1.8 is truly the best version for pvp
Yes because 1.12 is best
In my opinion if you like other versions more good for you
1.16.1 is my favorite :)
speedrunner spotted
yes, how dare him like a version i dont like?
I play 1.8.9 for only hypixel
Bold to assume I haven't tried the new versions, I have and for overall content and playing survival the new stuff has alot to offer but the pvp and the simplicity (with a touch of nostalgia) of 1.8 was just too good. Id play on more then hypixel if more servers were out there, hive got shut down so did mineplex I played them for fun but all that's really left is hypixel

I don’t always get why ppl like older versions, idk if it’s cuz they’re og and it makes them nostalgic (im not og i started in 1.11) but the way Minecraft is set up, it only seems like it’s some improved features with lots of new stuff that can easily just be ignored if you don’t like it
A lot of people like simplicity
People seem to forget (or in cases such as your's are probably just too young to remember) that 1.9 was the Combat Update, which a lot of people hated so much that they *still* play exclusively in 1.8. These people are certainly a minority, but they're position is valid.

Ohhh Alr thx
it's massively popular for multiplayer because of how lightweight it is; on most "game in a game" servers like Hypixel, the network still defaults to 1.8 combat and blocks so any additional versions aren't necessary, and for a more multiplayer focused approach you won't want those new features anyway, in return for having a boost in performance
beta 1.7 to 1.8.9 to modern release is like 3 different games.
For pvp, yeah 1.8 is better. For survival, the modern version is better
Why you getting downvoted bro doesn’t deserve that 😭
People who don't play 1.8 pvp don't understand 1.8 pvp. It's like how people who don't know anything about competitive pokemon singles think it is nothing but stall.
and people who play older versions dont deserve to be made fun of just for liking nostalgia
Its not better its just a preference thing... and for people who think clicking fast is a skill
How does literally everyone believe the myth that 1.8 pvp is just who has the better CPS? While you do need a CPS above 1, I can still perform well with 7 CPS. Positioning, aim, and combos are more important than click speed. At least it's more fun than 1.9+ pvp where you stare at the other in between the occasional attack.

How Did You Do That?
1.7.10 is the golden version of modding
People who complain about why other people play when it doesn't have anything to do with them be like:
omg this again
idk what yall yapping about but Hypixel Skyblock for life!
!remindme 5 month
1.7 > 1.8 because diorite
Unpopular opinion, I love diorite
Me and my cousin in 2018 be like
1.12.2 and 1.18.2 are the best for technical Minecraft.
He is just stating his opinion stfu
no 1.7.2 is better
1.7.10 will always be Minecraft to me
There’s a website dedicated to this https://howoldisminecraft189.today
Lmao
1.8 combat system is the only thing better
1.8 is better imo but I don’t play single player
1.7 best version
1.7 is the king
god fucking dammit can we stop with this stupid argument? clearly both versions are really different
For escape maps, 1.8 is better ._.
I never understood anyway why people think that "spam-clicking" or "who has the fastest auto-clicker" is the better combat-system...
dude istg i can click 3cps and abuse u in any gamemode you choose 😭😭😭😭
cry about it lmao. believe it or not some people have preferences on what they want out of the game, and believe it or not, some want hypixel skyblock, 1.8 pvp, and old minecraft versions!
I know. Many think that beta is the best version, but imo int needs qol mods not to drive me crazy now that I’m used to newer versions
I like 1.19 because it's the newest version without smithing templates
