Hey I’m not sure of the feasibility here but I would love to see Wool Wars become 1.7 compatible. 1.7 players are a minority but they are grinders, and Munchy could definitely add some dedicated players. 1.7 players also tend not to care about cosmetics and visual stuff, and they realize that a lot of these kinds of features won’t be applicable for their version and are O.K. with that. Let me know your thoughts guys and lets try to get a movement going.

There actually used to be 1.7 compatibility but it was unfortunately removed in the August update I believe. I don’t know if it will be readded (although I would certainly like to see it readded).

I don’t think they would make it 1.7 compatible since there’s a lot of features in WoolWars that are only 1.8+ so it’s gonna be annoying to players that they may die by a emerald in 1.7 and in 1.8 it’s just slime so they would survive.
I would like to have a smooth feeling when playing WoolWars but that erases a lot of feature that I could use by using 1.8
That’s true but I think even with a disadvantage like that some people would prefer to play on 1.7 if possible

I can see where you’re coming from, although personally I’d like to see more development time spent on the actual gameplay and less on maintaining support for an outdated gamemode, which is only getting more and more difficult

Hot take: just go the prison route and make it 1.18
That’s cool. I think 1.7 and 1.8 have proven their longevity tho as well.

No, woolwars is not an MMO so there’s no need to upgrade to 1.18. Creating an MMO like prison requires there to always be new features to make the pvp, mining, and looting unique. Woolwars is just flat PvP and doesn’t need this. Prison is not alone in this sense, the biggest MMO server in Minecraft (skyblock) has its devs heavily exploring updating to 1.18 to allow for new content.
The only two things updating woolwars to 1.18 would do are create massive friction between the 1.8 community and the 1.18, and add some new blocks. Thats it. A survey by hypixel determined that Over 50% of its players still used 1.8.9 as the version to play on. that is HUGE, and many people may not want to switch.
Also, you said “Hot take” meaning you acknowledge people are going to argue with you over this, so don’t you (or anybody else) act like I’m going over the top

To actually talk in your favor Nick,
I am a full on 1.7 player… (proven by this)
I was active on Woolwars for around 1-2 weeks and then stopped for a little while because I spent multiple hours a day (8hrs - 10hrs)
But that’s really just me enjoying to play Munchy since it is a good server when it comes to talking to people!
But overall let’s say that I’ve stopped actually playing actively and being integrated in the Woolwars community. We do have some people who still know me because of KitPvP such as Staff or some people who log from Kit to Woolwars. But overall I mostly got unrecognized.
I must say the 1.7 times we’re fun! I was able to give hits that no Canadian was able to (since they’re mostly 10ms - 15ms).
So if 1.7 would ever comeback, which I don’t see, I would heavily appreciate it! If there’s anything I love about Minecraft it’s the Souping / Pots feature! Don’t ask me why, but the pots feel way more “smooth” or look faster than on 1.8.9… Same story with the Fishing Rod, it looks slower and it also looks like that you can’t rod as far as on 1.7.
Overall:
Gimme back my beloved 1.7.10 
I hope this somewhat helped but I also do enjoy the current new update! Lots of new features, custom cosmetics that actually look cool (probably so you don’t have to buy cosmetics from different clients) but since I spent a lot of time on Minecraft, I have tons of cosmetics bought or gifted so it won’t really change much.
Thank you for reading this abomination of me trying to explain stuff!
kind regards
Henry

1.7 was VERY glitchy back then before the big woolwars update, The sandstone was glitched on 1.7, the slime was very glitchy so I don’t think that this is a good idea with this update because that might happen with the same thing as of this woolwars update
