What need does it fill?\r\n\u003c!-- A clear and concise description of what the problem/need is. For example: \"I'm frustrated when I lose work due to a lack of auto-save.\" --\u003e\r\n\"Feather supports 1.16.5 clients and world saves. We do not currently have plans to support multiple versions at once, but we may consider this in the future.\"\r\nThis is a major problem, as most people won't be motivated to contribute to something, that cannot be used in their use case. People are always looking to play the latest version, trying out the _new_ stuff in minecraft, I'd suppose.\r\nBy defining the goal to only support one outdated version, **we are scaring away potential contributors**. \r\n\r\n\r\n## Describe the solution you'd like\r\n\u003c!-- A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. --\u003e\r\nDefine the goal to support all versions, with the newest ones preferred.\r\nGive people the clear indication that as soon as the fundamental feature set is complete + support for a specific version, they could use feather for their server as well. Even if work is done in a spotty fashion, we'd encourage people to work on this project, which will keep it alive, and maybe let it thrive far beyond that.\r\n\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/nyvs","@type":"Person","name":"nyvs"},"datePublished":"2021-11-06T21:13:39.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":12},"url":"https://github.com/505/feather/issues/505"}
