My favorite MC Version is 1.8.9 only because of the PVP mechanics. Whenever I do SMP's with my friends, on the other hand, I enjoy whatever version the SMP is played on (Lastest Version).
Same, 1.8.9
No reason why, I just do.
Started using it at some point, I think because I was able to block with a sword instead of a shield... love that.
So yeah oh and that with LabyMod
I'm a bit late to the party but hey lol I think the best for me would be 1.8.9 not really a reason just it is for me haha, Although I am looking forward to the 1.18 release.
1.20 is gonna be insane as they r adding ever more cool commands, u will be able to create "phantom" blocks (u can walk through them) and rotate, stretch them in all possible ways (based on matrix transport). U will be able to create animations, simulations, scenes, ect without mods and plugins
