Please keep OpenGL as a permanent option!

Hello Mojang Team,

I am a student playing on a HP Elitebook 8470p laptop with Intel HD 4000 graphics. I am very concerned about the switch to Vulkan. My hardware does not support Vulkan drivers on Windows, which means I will be unable to play new versions of Minecraft once OpenGL is removed. This can make me very sad you know. But not only me, every players like me who cannot afford to buy new computers.

While I understand Vulkan is better for modern PCs, please consider keeping the OpenGL toggle as a permanent "Legacy Mode" for players on older hardware. This would allow students and players with older devices to keep enjoying the game without being forced to buy new computers. So, as a result, i can continue playing my favorite game also with my friends who has better computer than me.

Thank you for considering the community with older hardware! I hope I can play and enjoy the latest versions and hope that you guys listen to us.

Thanks for reading!
