Oh for the days where you had to open minecraft.jar in winrar and copy-paste all those files in manually, and hope to God that when you saw "are you sure you want to overwrite aa.class" it wasn't going to break anything critical.

And then came the messages like: "xyzzy_mod.jar requires Forge 1.6_289, but you're running Forge 1.6_272. Please upgrade Forge." followed by "abcd_mod.jar is not compatible with Forge 1.6_289."

It was because of this that I gave up modded entirely.

But, but, but.... you see young grasshopper, back in MY days the modding was really good because all the cool mods used to work on the latest versions of Minecraft. But now? Mod developers kinda gave up, we got datapacks and other thingamagicks and people forgot what it's like to mod anymore it seems.

Oh wait... you were talking about pvp combat? Darn, yah, sorry, I don't do that 😉

As you were! 😁

really, preferred version doesn't matter that much since people get to pick what version they play on.

:o)
