Its the most purchased game in the world, do you think there is after the full release that isnt backed up a couple hundred times?
But if you want, i would recommend 1.7.9, 1.12.2, 1.16.5, and 1.19.4 since those are the most modded versions of minecraft as far as i know (1.7 and 1.12 being mostly tech modpacks)
1.21.1, and 26.2 if you want further content. Java, BTW. No sane person uses Bedrock.
I completely forgot about 1.21.1
Regarding 26.2, i would just wait for the last not bad version since if they do make java edition bad (which i doubt would happen), they wouldnt do everything suddendly
Do you know if it's possible to get the pre-release versions of the game? I'd be curious to explore the versions I started with to remember how little it has. I don't remember what version I started with, but it was definitely in the alpha. IIRC it might have been just after minecarts were added. I'm sure we had almost nothing back in those days.
I know you couldn't repair things back then, and I made the mod to add repairs, and the vanilla game eventually added it basically to the exact recipes. I still wish Curse was used for games because I have Curse Premium for life from that, but I've had no reason to use that site since then.
Some versions of pre 1.0 minecraft are available on the official (java) launcher (if you do not have an account something like prism cracked would work too)
I know more old versions exist on the internet and have seen minecraft.wiki lists some with download links, but i have never tried to use such an old version
