Have fun requiring a workstation for a 1.13.2 pack then. Because unless you do happen to have a 32GB or larger system a beast pack that ran fine on 8GB is going to rack on 16GB or so in usage. UNLESS forge can mitigate the side effects of such version.
In my opinion no Minecraft version is “prefect”. Just to give some recent examples…
1.7.10 was the “golden days” since it’s was the last version to support an ocean of old favorites but it’s came at a cost on Linux based systems possibly causing CONSTANT Memory Leakages. So short of allowing Minecraft an insane amount of RAM good luck playing for more a few hours…
1.12.2 Gotten the most support due to the length of time Mojang+Microsoft took to release 1.13 at all. At the expense of junior based modpacks coming out due to most ID issues being a nonissue. Except if you load a few mods that demand quite a bit and/or load a LOT of mods.
And as I said not even 1.13.2 is “prefect” so much that I am going to wait at least 1.14 for updating my server to.
