As per title. I’m back to modded after a few years, but I’m rather clueless on which version is currently popular.
Bonus question: what are the most common industrial mods nowadays? And are people building their own packs, or downloading them whole?

I’ll probably go with 1.16.5 then; seems like a sane middle ground. I’m not too eager to adopt the newest version ever, but I feel like enough vanilla content accumulated from 1.7.10 times to now to make the shift worth. (To be honest I didn’t play much with 1.12.)
It’s weird because I feel like I relate to both sides - toys (mods) get boring once you’ve played enough with them, and there are only so many new ways to use an old toy. Eventually you’ll want new toys. And the older the modpack, the less features it has from that mod called “vanilla”, that every pack seems to have. :^)
But at the same time… I’m not migrating just for the sake of migration, like the “cult of the new” that you mentioned. I remember in 1.12 times that everyone in Reddit was screeching, and trying to boss people around with “why are you playing 1.7? MIGRATE AS I’M ORDERING YOU, REEEE”, and then got all pissy when you still mentioned 1.7. Or actively advocating that losing mods across version is “good”, because we get new mods - as if one thing had much to do with the other.
