Yeah, 25/26 should work with 1.8, but they night have other issues. Plus of course they are missing a lot of new features.
is there any work being done on 1.8 compat or has it been fully abandoned, this question is mainly because most servers out here are still 1.8-1.12
edit and rip, 25 indeed has problems
edit: and thanks for calling me dumb, did you even read my whole issue page?
1.8 is not being worked on, and it's not even really "abandoned" because it was never even officially supported by this fork -- it just happened to still work on 1.8 for a while. Bensku has said that if someone wants to make a pull request to add 1.8 compatibility he'd be happy to merge it (barring other possible issues obviously), but I wouldn't expect him to work on it anytime soon. There are larger more important issues than catering to a specific subset of the community that is using a version that hasn't been up-to-date in over 1.5 years.
okay, i thought that it would support 1.8 since like every server uses crossplay these days. (or i just haven't seen any 1.9 servers)
It's the latter (you just haven't seen them), there are tons of 1.9+ servers, my own included.
It is perhaps more about the fact that I never supported 1.8 so breaking it shouldn't be a big deal. I'm pretty sure only a few people run 1.9.x servers either, but one does not simply drop support for something that has always been there. 1.8, from my perspective has not been always there - it is surprising that it worked as long as it did.
oops it worked before but i guess 1.8 support broke somewhere between my last update long ago, could someone link me to a stable 1.8.8 download?
