I am thinking before 1.19.1 when chat reporting was added. 1.7 to 1.12 seem to have less requirements to run for lower end pcs. Its just some chill fun and not pvp focused so being newer than 1.9 shouldn't matter. I am thinking 1.15 maybe since it added bees. I guess its a compromise between how well the game runs on lower hardware and what features we want.

Wouldn't it be more in the spirit of this community to use a free and open source alternative to Minecraft like Classicube?

https://github.com/ClassiCube/ClassiCube

I discovered this one recently. As the name implies, it's a reverse-engineered clone of early versions of the game. It has extremely low hardware requirements, which allow the client to run on virtually anything.

Here's a list of supported server software:

https://www.classicube.net/server/host/

If you use MCGalaxy, then players will even be able to join your servers through their web browser.

There's also minetest I believe, which is an open source Minecraft clone, but without compatibility with the actual game.

Awesome a will have a look into it. I chose minehut so I didnt have to host the server on my pc. I will check out the server software as well since classicube looks interesting.

As I said in the other comment, another option is the open source Luanti (formerly MineTest). It is a base "engine" for which you can install different community made games. There are games that attempt to copy Minecraft as completely as possible (with survival mode etc.): https://content.luanti.org/packages/?type=game

Voxelibre and mineclonia seem promising.

I will have a look into that as well. Btw while I was on minehut to check if they supported classic cube servers I noticed something odd. They have no reject cookies option which is illegal.
