Hi. My name is GameGlitz and I have been playing on the server for more than 3 years. I was very happy when 1.7.10 support was added (I think it was added in 2017, or I just happened to join in 2017 on 1.7 and saw it worked) and now it seems to have gone?

Now, I get it. It is hard to support 4 world rendering engines at the same time. But seriously. 1.15.x support has now been added, and 1.7.x isn't supported anymore. Anyway, who in their right mind will join on 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 or 1.14?
The main versions that I expect people to play on is 1.7.x, 1.8.x, 1.12.x and 1.15.x. If you are using a premade plugin such as ViaVersion, I recommend using the latest build of Travertine for the proxy, as the latest update is just as good, if not better with managing resources as Waterfall. If this fails to work in testing, make a subdomain for the server, for 1.7.x players, pvp.guildcraft.org, which will join the main HUB, and kick people back to the login lobby if they join a server without 1.7.x support, so only adding support for 1.7.x to the PvP related servers.

If you need any help with a solution for 1.7.x support, please contact me through DMs.

Anyway, I conclude. 1.7.x support will be a treat if it comes back, and if you are using a premade plugin such as ViaVersion or a custom one that supports protocol blocking, please block protocols for 1.9, 1.10 and 1.11, and after 1.15.1 releases please also block 1.14.x, as the less protocols being loaded the less lag that the proxy experiences. This is a new forum account as I never made one for the whole life that I've had on this server.

Edit: Just realised as I was uploading the screenshot that I did not say to unload 1.13.x support too. I imagine 1.7.x, 1.8.x, 1.12.x, and 1.15.x. No 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 1.13 or 1.14.
