I read it, and I still feel the same way: if you don't like the new versions, don't play them. Minecraft lets you do that with very little effort, so if you're that angry about these changes, just play one of those versions. You're on a site right now that has thousands of resource packs, so use those if you really don't like Jappa's textures.
I mostly play Java, but it's useful to have Bedrock for testing various things. I'm also getting an RTX graphics card soon so I'll be able to use that.
Villager trading if I only need to repair my tools-- I have about a dozen that I can trade with who restock quickly and give me a lot of XP. If I'm going for levels I like to have ilmango's zombified piglin gold farm in a world.
If you're still looking I could help you out. I don't claim to be excellent, but I've made skins for several of my friends and they seemed happy with them.
I keep a shulker with valuables (diamonds and netherite, mostly), a shulker with a full set of backup gear, enough obsidian to make a nether portal + flint & steel, any sentimental items, about a stack of logs, a full shulker of flight rockets, and several stacks of golden carrots or steak, depending on my main food source on a server. The rest of the slots I fill with whatever.
