I'd recommend code - because yes, MCreator 2020.2 and older were really, really tough, and it's sometimes way more frustration than joy. Modding landscape won't change if we stay forever where others stayed.Įnding this extremely long message - if you really want to make mods for these old versions, either use what I linked to you, or use code. Tl dr, it's in our best interest to want only newest generators (and maybe one, not-so-distant, popular one like 1.16 for "secondary"), because it's respecting community, devs' time, and just being open to what's coming new. 1.8, 1.12, 1.14+, 1.17 and 1.18(.1/2) are really different code-wise, therefore supporting each version would be terribly confusing. If you ever had situation when you worked on things that are really similar, yet totally different, you will understand why you would like to avoid such situation. Even if it was, it would still mean that devs could maybe (!) add few features more.ġ) really time-consuming (and energy consuming), since each generator needs a lot of testing, understanding of code and so onĢ) sometimes it is even impossible due to technical incompatibilities (1.12.2 is such case - change of Java version in 1.17 made it so no MCreator past 2021.3 can use 1.12. Just because use 1.12 uses Java 8, meanwhile 1.17+ use newer version)ģ) extremely different in code. So each day Klemen and other devs put on working on old/outdated versions of Minecraft, it would mean less features for newer versions, and also a lot more bugs and - who knows - easier burnout (-> end of MCreator).Īlso, as far as I know, MCreator isn't even daily job of any of us. You seem to understand that backporting features is a pain, so I assume I don't need to explain you this, but to whoever comes across (or maybe to you, if you want clarification): but as said, technically you are totally able to make some mods on this version. They may (and will be buggy)? Sure! They will also have extreme limitations for features (which is really a pain). If you do not ask about newer features, these are totally fine. you can make mods via MCreator for these versions!Įither visit this archive or use 2020.2 which supports 1.12.2 natively from here. But comparing to 1.16/1.18? Not even close.Īt least the ability to make mods in older versions And sure, it was more popular than 1.14, 1.15 or 1.17 version. TLDR, if you add support for 1.8.9 and 1.12.2 more people will play the mods made using mcreator, witch means more people creating mods using mcreator And Minecraft changed a lot since these versions, so a lot of people (be it newcomers, it doesn't matter) wouldn't even stand Minecraft without a lot of QoL features that new versions added. This doesn't mean that they are very popular, since a lot of people just wants to play new features. If you say about playing mods - I'd still tell that you exaggerate the amount of people playing, but nevermind about precision, that's fair, these versions are still quite popular. The ones that are still supporting 1.12.2 (or older versions) are way smaller minority. Modders themselves tend to leave support for older versions, and the ones that stayed on 1.12, eventually left modding. let me counterargue (and mostly, explain).Īround 48% of minecrafts modding community plays 1.8.9 or 1.12.2.
