What's the cutoff point for old school? (lemmy.world)

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 tried to give a generic overview on the side bar, and it is intentionally vague about the cutoff point because what each person sees as the "perfect" era of minecraft is subjective.

  • Pre-classic (May 10 – May 16, 2009)
  • Classic (May 16 – November 10, 2009)
  • Indev (December 23, 2009 – February 23, 2010)
  • Infdev (February 27 – June 30, 2010)
  • Alpha (June 30 – December 3, 2010)
  • Beta (December 20, 2010 – November 11, 2011)

Anything above this is absolutely relevant to this community. Below is where it gets complicated.

  • Official Release, or Java Edition (November 18, 2011 – present)

The official releases is where it gets much more blurry, and I think as long as it is a couple years old, and you have a sense of nostalgia for it, it should count. Perhaps even more complicated is modern version that have been made to behave like alpha/beta/etc versions through mods. I think those should be included as well.

I would still count any posts you make about your 1.14 worlds as relevant to this community. But perhaps a poll would be worth doing.

I think most would disagree with me but my idea of "old school" minecraft is before the biome and terrain overhaul of 1.7
