I am thinking before 1.19.1 when chat reporting was added. 1.7 to 1.12 seem to have less requirements to run for lower end pcs. Its just some chill fun and not pvp focused so being newer than 1.9 shouldn't matter. I am thinking 1.15 maybe since it added bees. I guess its a compromise between how well the game runs on lower hardware and what features we want.

Edit: I have decided to go with 1.19 that way we still get frogs/froglights with out having to deal with chat reporting being misused.

I am new to Minecraft, bit love this idea. What would I need to join this server? Is Minecraft paid or free?

You normally have to buy minecraft first. There are cracked clients but those wont work with normal servers. I think there is a way to allow them in server settings but it means player skins wont be loaded and everyone would have the same skin. Idk if there are any other differences.

Wouldn't it be more in the spirit of this community to use a free and open source alternative to Minecraft like Classicube?

I discovered this one recently. As the name implies, it's a reverse-engineered clone of early versions of the game. It has extremely low hardware requirements, which allow the client to run on virtually anything.

Here's a list of supported server software:

If you use MCGalaxy, then players will even be able to join your servers through their web browser.

There's also minetest I believe, which is an open source Minecraft clone, but without compatibility with the actual game.
