Well, I get that it wouldn't be fun updating, but maybe you (mevans) could get someone to update for you, whilst you try out coding in 1.8+ but really, what features are there in 1.8+ that we, in ME could utilise? Slimeblocks? well,true, but redstone is hard to come by, and mostly unobtainable so useless, elytra? Useless, Shields.. welll. maybe, concrete? doesn't fit really, guardian stuff? Useless, Nether stuff? Useless, End stuff? Useless, Beetroots? Useless anyways, new enchantments? Useless! just think about it, most server forbid going to the overworld, Nether or End, so most stuff that is new is, is unobtainable, only the few things crafted with items you can gather in ME are useful, and they're not really necessairy anyways, just give me 5 features of 1.8+ (so really items, blocks or mobs) that are obtainable in ME, without leaving ME, and are actually useful!
