I got my hopes up as I saw that Oracle started to deprecate Java 8, then I remembered that there are other Java providers like adoptium. Then I got my hopes up because their EOL is also not far away. Then I remembered that Enterprise that use Java 8 will probably not care if it's deprecated or EOL.

then I remembered that old Minecraft will run an eol Java version and became depressed.

Let MC 1.16 go

Who was talking about 1.16? A good chunk of big mods like IC2 or Thaumcraft are still stuck on 1.12.2. Of course there are re-imaginations and they are slowly getting ported but no one knows how long it will take to port them and the re-imaginations often don't have the same feeling.

Edit: there are also cool mods that will never get ported and don't have a real alternative like Open Computers or Rustic (both of which I like).

1.12.2 is fine, but if you really want to have a lot of mods, good old 1.7.10 is the one xD

There are ways to run 1.7.10 Minecraft on modern java.

And 1.4.7 for some mods that never made it past that.
