Why do many plugins stop supporting Minecraft 1.8?

[/u/Joshstart]

A big part of the player base still prefers 1.8 combat—servers like Hypixel and most BedWars servers still rely on it. If so many players enjoy and use 1.8-style PvP, why do newer plugins often drop support for it? Also, what’s the situation with Java versions? Doesn’t Java 21 still run 1.8based servers? Why do many developers say “don’t use 1.8” and call it old or buggy? Just genuinely curious,would love to hear a dev’s perspective
