Hummmmm you not wrong or right your idk tbh 1.20 and the upcoming 1.21 update add new features but there not really major so idk

I still play 1.8.9.

The one update when they broke the Community made minecart accelerstors (that actually was a Bug) was the worst. Must be 0.4 or sth. like that. 😛

Whichever update changed the combat mechanics was the end for me.
