Minecraft 1.17+ should support OpenGL 3.1+

Minecraft 1.17+ doesn't support OpenGL 3.1 or below, and most of my friends are unable to play 1.17+ because of that (including me), and i would love for Minecraft to support OpenGL 3.1 again.

    No It shouldn't, opengl 3.1 is older than minecraft itself... We should push the use of vulkan, the newest version of opengl, because on most computer minecraft isn't using all the ressources available due to its use of this ancient technology. I think devs needs to move forward not backward.

    All OpenGL 3.1's are can support minecraft's new update 1.20 BUT MINECRAFT SET MEANİNGLESS OPENGL LİMİT. We can run minecraft 1.19 with mesa but our graphics card is pushing itself for an meaningless limit. And that causes the computer to freeze. So if our OpenGl 3.1 can show everything in the game without any problem, then 3.3 limit is meaningless.
