Why is there a new category for 1.8 alone? What's so different from version 1.7 (for example) to seperate it from other pre-1.9 runs?

1.8 trading strats are significantly different and faster than 1.7 tower

it´s just the difference in how you get ender pearls in each version. The main difference in every category has always been the way to obtain ender pearls so this category separation seems logic

Oh yeah I just checked and I didn't realize how different the trades were before 1.8. It makes trading kinda useless for pre-1.8. Thanks for your answers :)

New category for 1.8?
