Old OpenGL straight up doesn't work properly.

Bhume — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 09:05:17 GMT

I'm trying to play older Minecraft versions for nostalgia purposes on my A770 and the older versions of Minecraft (which use older OpenGL) don't render properly.

I'm specifically trying to play version 1.6.4 and that uses OpenGL 1.2 and no textures of any kind render and half the chunks don't even load. I've seen on forums that OpenGL is a problem all the way back to the UHD 630 days so either its a hard fix or just not important.

I know DirectX support is more widespread but so many older games use OpenGL. At least try a quick and dirty fix so the most popular game of the last decade works! Please. Dragging out my Vega 56 just for Minecraft would suck.
