I... kinda can't believe that one of my libraries (Forgelin) is the second most common mod on all Minecraft servers. It doesn't support the five most recent versions of the game and I haven't touched it in years. I guess there are a lot of other mods (or a few really popular ones) for somewhat older versions that use Kotlin.

It's super common to run older server versions due to mod support. Unless there's some new mechanic in an update that people want to use, not using the latest version isn't really a big deal. Easiest to grab the mods you like and just freeze it.
That part doesn't surprise me, it's just the sheer magnitude of 41% of modded servers that's shocking.
All online games have factions that think their game has been downhill since one version or another and stay there with private servers. Minecraft has a few such factions, so your plugin probably serves one of them.
