I started playing Minecraft in 2012, on version 1.3. That was ten years ago now but still a lot further along than the Beta versions. Today I play mostly 1.14, which is way newer but still about 4 years old. What do you think should be the cutoff between the different "eras" of MC?

I'm mainly interested in making complicated redstone contraptions and farms, and for that the best version is 1.12.2. That version has an incredibly interesting system of glitches that give it way more depth and way more stuff to do than any 1.13+ version.

For a technical minecraft playstyle the golden age ranges from 1.8 to 1.12.2. In 1.8 they introduced slime block flying machines, which are very important. After 1.12.2 they made a lot of changes that make the game less complex while also reducing server performance.
