Which version to we upgrade to next? 36
The result is only visible to the participants.
We're currently looking at the upgrade path for the Freedom-01 server, and at the moment there's a very viable option for us to skip straight past 1.18 and support 1.19 natively on Freedom-01.
1.18 will involve a fair bit more effort to get supported than 1.19 as we currently see things, so from a technical perspective 1.19 is the preference.
It's worth noting that in any case, we will need to be performing a wipe of the server worlds as part of the next version upgrade we do to the underlying server. Our world sizes have nearly doubled in size over the last 6 months, this combined with the substantial world-gen changes means the 1.18 or 1.19 upgrade is going to be the ideal time to do this wipe.
I will stress, we have no date currently in mind for any upgrades, and once we've decided on how we're performing the upgrades and when, we'll make sure everyone here gets a few weeks of warning. We might potentially run two servers in parallel for a while to allow people to save and download content from the current worlds while the new server is also online so as to minimise the overall disruption to you all.
I've added a poll, votes would be appreciated.
EDIT: For those that want some data to help make their decision, this is the current count of attempted connections to the network in 2022 for 1.17, 1.18 and 1.19 versions of MC.
