i kinda prefer the newer versions of the game, and i never experienced the old versions myself when they were new, as I first joined in Java version 1.11.2. however, i like going back in time to play older versions. sometimes for nostalgia, other times for just seeing what the old versions were like. it's to the point where I have played pre-classic. i also like learning about older versions and other things related to the past of minecraft and mojang
