I have to ask: what's so special about 1.7.10?

• bombcar 1y ago
  It is one of the versions that lots of mods were made for, and so some significant mod packs have stayed with it for decades. Part of it was the almost year between 1.7.x and 1.8, so some major mods like Thaumcraft never made the jump. Gregtech New Horizons (GTNH) has been back porting mods and features to 1.7.10 (like the ability to run on Java 20+) because that’s easier than porting the whole mod pack forward.

    Part of the reason was 1.8 Forge made it so most mods had to be re-written iirc. Also, Thaumcraft updated past 1.7 (Unfinished as Azanor left modding, but that's besides the point)
