get rid of opengl core 3.2, and go back to the older version

hi, we have wanted dynamic light sources and shaders in vanilla game for a while, ive even wanted it so badly that it was on my mind every day, but they fixed it, using opengl core 3.2 now on 21w10a, one problem, not all of us can use the new opengl core and need to use the old one, cause we have older computers or refurbished computers, and i don't want to be stuck in the snapshots when the update is out, and i'm working on a large map on a program so i can't just get a new computer, so can you please swich back to the older opengl on the java edition, it is fine not to use shaders in vanilla game, anyways players made shader resource packs for the vanilla game, so please change the new opengl to the one before 21w10a, i would really thank you

    Yes! I hope too! Maybe just give us option to switch to old opengl core devices! I think it should be possible given that we have been able to preview previous snapshots! I agree with you!

    @Melly Dow i agree with you, i just think some players should be able to still play new features without the new graphics, and everyone else could use the new graphics and shaders.

    OpenGL 3.2 is almost 10 years old. Getting this done took devs over a year, and everyone's been asking for the game to take up less of the CPU and more of the GPU; this is the only way to do it. Updating to 3.2 is already a huge compromise, seeing as there are better builds and even better APIs out there that released, like Vulkan. I'm sorry but as things get updated and more performance intensive, you need to upgrade your older rigs. Besides, support for OpenGL isn't hard to come by, and you'll have trouble playing in 1.17 release without at least something to keep up with the system requirements.

    Indeed, the new 1.17 & 1.18 versions don't even seem to be using any of the features introduced by OpenGL 3.2 or 3.3? 

    I don't see why OpenGL 3.1 would be insufficient, much less why the graphics library isn't SELECTABLE.
