Just thought i would share this off topic nothing better to do, my favorite Minecraft version is 1.7.10 because it has the best mod saturation.

GTNH mod pack is probably imo the leading pack for this MC version because they have been actively maintaining mainly the mods side of it and compatibility and performance of the mods since around 2014.
They have just released a version recently of their modpack that allows using java 17 up to java 20 on Minecraft 1.7.10 which is usually java 8 natively.
my jaw dropped and this is the first time that i know off where Minecraft has jumped several java versions on an old outdated MC version.
