I liked the Caves and Cliffs part 1 update. It greatly improved the cave and terrain generation. I liked the new biomes they added. The axolotls was the cherry on top.
Minecraft
This is a place for anything Minecraft related. Vanilla Minecraft, moded Minecraft, Minecraft streamers, Minecraft events, anything.
The Caves and Cliffs update was pretty good. Took me a while to realize they changed diamonds to a negative Y level though.
I play the newest version that all of my mods support, which is currently 1.19.2.
I feel like the game(java at least) has only gotten better.
Nice 1.19.2 is the last version that my mods support at the moment as well.
I wasn't brought in by any of the changes in 1.19, but I love the changes to ore drops in 1.17 and the new terrain generation of 1.18. So I've been sticking with 1.18 until the mods I use work in 1.20.
i like 1.12.2 because of its mod support, but my favorite for playing vanilla is beta 1.7.3; i prefer its gameplay and worldgen over the newer versions
My personal favourite is beta 1.7.3, Funnily enough, not even a version I played until recently, but its simplistic charm and vibe got me very into it. Plus, the Aether mod is still great to this day.
