Heck, 1.7 is STILL one of the most popular versions for the modded scene, and it came out in 2014 (because it was an unusually long gap between updates, as was 1.8 which a lot of mods didn't bother updating to due to not much being added to the base game).

Once you've played with 1.18 terrain gen it is hard to go back.

1.7 has RTG [1], can be worth a try. I always enjoyed the RTG worlds, but now I am mostly playing skyblock(-ish) packs, so I do not really care about terrain anymore.

Oh, I thought RTG was all about removing floating islands and making the mountains more mountainous. I didn't realize it also made the huge cave systems you get with 1.18.
