Are we calling 1.8.9 old now?
I mean it has been out for over 7 years now. https://howoldisminecraft189.today/
What's the story behind this domain? I checked to see if maybe someone had made one for every Minecraft version, but no, 1.8.9 is singled out for some reason. Edit: Okay 1.7.10 also exists, I'm guessing some others do too. 1.6.4 doesn't, that was the first one I checked.
Well, the game was stuck on 1.8 longer than any other version especially if you also consider all the servers that refused to switch for years because Mojang didn't do a especially good job with the new combat system!
I know 1.7.10, 1.8.9, and 1.12.2 exist. I'm not sure the story behind them, I just know they are common versions people like to play still. 1.8.9 for PvP and Hypixel and 1.12.2 for 2b2t. I'm not sure about 1.7.10 though.
Fuck, it's still rare but at times I do feel kind of old!
