I am thinking before 1.19.1 when chat reporting was added. 1.7 to 1.12 seem to have less requirements to run for lower end pcs. Its just some chill fun and not pvp focused so being newer than 1.9 shouldn’t matter. I am thinking 1.15 maybe since it added bees. I guess its a compromise between how well the game runs on lower hardware and what features we want.
I just bit the bullet and subscribed to a Linux VPS (virtual private server) at IONOS. I’m from Belgium, so I took the German datacenter. I’ll keep you updated on my experiments! I’ll be trying out a Luanti server, bit of it doesn’t work out I have other projects that I could use the server for :).

I am new to Minecraft, bit love this idea. What would I need to join this server? Is Minecraft paid or free?

You normally have to buy minecraft first. There are cracked clients but those wont work with normal servers. I think there is a way to allow them in server settings but it means player skins wont be loaded and everyone would have the same skin. Idk if there are any other differences.

Wouldn’t it be more in the spirit of this community to use a free and open source alternative to Minecraft like Classicube?
github.com/ClassiCube/ClassiCube
I discovered this one recently. As the name implies, it’s a reverse-engineered clone of early versions of the game. It has extremely low hardware requirements, which allow the client to run on virtually anything.
Here’s a list of supported server software:

If you use MCGalaxy, then players will even be able to join your servers through their web browser.
