Minecraft 1.8.8 is the most famous release of the Bountiful Update. It added slime blocks, ocean monuments, prismarine, banners and armor stands, but players mainly keep it alive for one reason: combat. Version 1.8 has no attack cooldown, so PvP is fast and based on clicking speed and aim. That is why many PvP, practice, UHC and minigame servers still run on 1.8.8.
You don't need to find an old server jar or configure Java yourself. In the ScalaCube control panel choose vanilla 1.8.8 and it is installed for you. Need plugins for kits, arenas or anti-cheat? Switch the same server to Spigot or Paper 1.8.8 in a couple of clicks.
