The competitive scene unanimously decided to stay on version 1.8.9. This version relies on "spam-clicking" (clicking as fast as possible to deal maximum damage), knockback mechanics that require precise sprint resetting, and "rod" combos.

| | Benefit | |------------|--------------| | FPS | Low-resolution textures (16x or 32x) → high FPS on any PC | | Visibility | Low fire, clear particles → see enemies even in lava / fire | | Reaction time | Potions & rods stand out → faster switching | | Aim | Crosshair + sword shape → easier target tracking | | No clutter | Removes GUI distractions (XP bar, chat background, etc.) |
