So each day Klemen and other devs put on working on old/outdated versions of Minecraft, it would mean less features for newer versions, and also a lot more bugs and - who knows - easier burnout (-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.
