Minecraft: Hypixel Server Version / Software?

- in Servers

I noticed that in Hypixel Skyblock all things and recipes from the 1.7, which were removed in the 1.8, still work.

That means Hypixel runs clearly on version 1.7 as a basis

How then is it possible to use blocks of version 1.8?

On what exactly (which server software) does Hypixel work? How does it work?

Hypixel is no longer a normal minecraft.

There are so many plugins in the background to replace / improve / reactivate the various functions.

Which recipes were there in the 1.7 that did not exist in 1.8?

Hypixel runs on server software for 1.8.9

Not just recipes. Much more.

Sponges do not remove water: 1.7 (is a 1.8 feature)
If you dig down the bottom layer of a dark oak tree and plant seedlings there, "roots" are created: 1.7 (Bug removed in 1.8)
You can make 4 Smooth Sandstone to 4 Smooth Sandstone (!): 1.7 (recipe removed in 1.8)
If you dismantle the block below them, all doors will drop the standard oak door: 1.7 as a basis or why else?
When you mine Coarse Dirt, it simply drops Dirt.

Actually, the "Smooth Sandstone to Smooth Sandstone" recipe alone should be enough proof. This was removed in the 1.8 namely. But I can apply it to Hypixel.

How is it possible that the server runs on 1.8.9, but all things that have changed between 1.7 and 1.8 are at the level of 1.7?

Could it be that you're talking about Skyblock on Hypixel?

an

Yes.

Has that ne other server software or why?

Feel free to change the question to "Hypixel Skyblock" if it bothers you. Just thought that was the same software.

Do you know which / how that works?

Sn

No, no other server software but basically there's every Minecraft feature reprogrammed to change the game. You can't compare it to Vanilla.

To return to the question:

Suppose this Sandstone → Sandstone recipe goes to Hypixel in all other game modes as well.

Do you have a plan what it's all about that a 1.7-only recipe on a 1.8 server is?
