The website says it is supposed to support up to 1.14.4 however that is not truly the case. While yes you can run both in 1.14.4 it is quite buggy and doesn't behave properly. Skyblock survival new and Economy only support up to 1.12.2 at max. Meaning you are not going to see phantoms as possible mobs. Fences are broken, double chest don't work properly, doors malfunction and won't let the player leave his house. It be nice if there was a sign that in hubs says this world only supports up to x so the player knows ahead of time what they are getting into. I think the only one that support 1.14.4 for is skywars and not the other three.
Skyblock supports 1.14 meaning players can join, but is run on 1.12 wich is why you dont see any of the newer features
True but that is what is causing the doors to break is because it is operating in 1.12.2 but the player is operating in 1.14.
This is why we recommend people don't join using 1.13 or 1.14. They are options because not everyone knows how to use a previous version of MC and they update to the new one and suddenly can't play. Back in 2015 we lost a good chunk of our player base when we didn't provide access to the server for newer clients. So its needed, even if some things bug out like the textures/doors/fences etc.
I can understand. I know how to switch to the other versions. I certainly can live with the fences being weird or the textures being weird that is fine. However when it something important like a door not working that is where it becomes problematic. If the door is iron it takes longer to break and in newer snapshots it doesn't drop unless mined with a pickaxe. I just remember this being a big issue for me when using the tutorial version of Minecraft. You couldn't break things, or place things when the time limit ran out. So if you place a wood door and time ran out guess what, you can't open the door to your mine or potentially leave. Essentially you soft locked the game.
At the very least when people’s games don’t work as intended they can still come online and we can teach them how to revert back to another version. The plugin that helps with this comparability is to blame and there is nothing much that can be really done for these issues until the plugin updates. Fences and doors can be broken to get past them so really, unless the door is actually providing a vital function to a machine then it can be tolerated. As long as people can log in, then they will be alright
I guess true. Wouldn't that mean that survival test would be the least laggy of the minecrafts since it is the first one along with indev? Well I guess something I have to kind of live with though.
What doesn't make sense to me is if the server is able to handle 1.14, but can only do 1.12, what's the point of telling people it can run in 1.14 when clearly it cannot (unless you don't mind glitches). Just say you can run up to 1.12.2. If the developers are REALLY desperate then sure, but don't say "Supports 1.14 come join" rather you're telling people the server is capable of handling players in 1.14 but really it won't work. Instead, you could just state "support for 1.14 coming soon!" and not having players realizing the fact it's hella buggy, glitchy, and will kick you for jumping couple of times. It really is bothering honestly.
