Disable 1.8 Client Support

Hey, just wanted to throw in a suggestion, I think it would be a good idea to disable 1.8 client support on the server.

Even though the server uses 1.8-style PvP (which is cool), letting people join on actual 1.8 clients causes some issues. For example, players on 1.8 sometimes take less knockback, which makes fights feel kind of unfair. There are also occasional bugs and visual glitches because 1.8 wasn’t meant to work with 1.21 content.

Since everyone’s already playing with 1.8 combat mechanics, there’s not really a need for people to be using super outdated clients. It’d be better for PvP balance and probably help with stability too.

Just something to consider, thanks!
