I don't see why there is an appeal to support anything beyond the current version and maybe 1 previous, but the previous versions should only be supported for a very limited amount of time. We shouldn't be backwards supporting versions forever, even if plugins allow it. There's no reason to do it given it's not like you have to pay as a user to update or anything, it's free for everyone, and generally now the client will automatically push people to the new versions... Personally don't see the value in this at all. This I agree with. The original value of protocol hacks (and by the way, the history of them goes all the way back to 2011) was for when Minecraft would update and impatient server administrators used them in order to hackily support the new client version on a server version that isn't updated, it was never for backwards compatibility, it was a matter of server admins not being patient enough to wait the few days for the server mod to be updated. (On an unrelated note, I remember back when somebody advertised a protocol hack for a server mod back in the 2011 days and added their own hack to it which allowed them to crash servers, and then the Bukkit guys had to inform server admins how bad protocol hacking is, but there's a decade old story for you) Since this is the absolute last server which should be using hacks, it's best not to use ViaVersion or whatever glorified hacks are being trotted out at all, after all I'd think we're on the latest version of Minecraft anyways making them redundant. It is funny to see how exploit ridden Minecraft servers have become since Bukkit died out in 2014, then went the competent developers and in came the ones that support use of hack bandaids, this to me is just an instance of a hack that was once ostracized becoming popularized by current developers.
