Hello I would like to suggest allowing players on other versions besides the version loka is on to join the server. It would boost the players who actively play especially the more inconsistant players who would join but dont wanna do the work to get whole new mods just to play loka. Furthermore many mods arent even out yet because loka is updating to the very newest version which is also a .3 which is also like the most irrelevant version in a update that nobody has any mods for no matter how new it is. I had about 20 players in my town who said they will start playing again when loka updates however since it updated to this version which nobody plays now not only will they still not play but my old members also wont play. Please consider this loka theres 0 reason not to and every single other server does this its just holding loka, a very good server back from greatness!

-1 loka will always be updated snd if someone doesn’t wanna spend 5 seconds getting new mods then can stop complaining and go play something else.

bro not making 1.21.4 players avaiable to join is just crazy. +1 (Plus i got the same issue i got a group of players who dont play more often cause they have to switch versions and mods all time)

+1 even if it's a worse experience for the player than playing on the native version, at least people would be able to logon. Making recruits download a modpack to warp to a war is hard.

Though, if this prevents the AC from doing its job, then it can't be implemented of course.

I'm curious, when when they said they'd play only when Loka updates, which version were they talking about? Was it 1.21.4?

theres 0 reason not to and every single other server does this
The vast majority of other servers do not actually run modern versions of Minecraft. They run old versions and commonly allow later versions to connect which sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. There are so many technical changes to MC that connecting on any version below 1.21.3 is almost certainly impossible. I would expect it to literally crash if you tried. Generally speaking, we don't really worry too much about what other servers do. We do what's best for us.

The reason we always update is because we actually use modern features.

If they're for some reason actually waiting for 1.21.4, then the hopefully won't have to wait too long.

nobody has any mods for
There were about 113 people on yesterday, so I suppose they must have made it work.

If you missed it in the announcement, one of our own devs has had a modpack available for 1.21.3 for a few weeks now.

Its mostly not about the modpack, but making recruits who play all the time on the newest version switch everytime there is war

Im not meaning to criticize or anything obviously your right about all of that but its more about the convenience aspect. My recruits are majourity crystal players and always want to get their own mods and everything. I may be wrong about that but all of the largest crystal pvp servers allow players to join on all nearby versions. I dont know the exact limits but for example you can join donut smp which is a large crystal server on 1.19.4 1.20.4 and even 1.21.3, and probably more thats just what I have tried. You also have to realize these are new players who I am trying to convince to log on so any level of inconvenience makes many players just refuse to join.

About the version they said they would join on Im not 100% sure I think most people play on 1.21.1

the main issue with crystal recruits is that loka went from a out dated server to one thats way head of everything else and its just inconvient because it just happened. other servers will up date and it will all be the same in a month or two.
