    There are a lot of modpacks which are already tied to specific versions of the Minecraft client. Unless I’m missing something, those would be unaffected. What is affected are mods targeting the bleeding edge builds of the game. I expect that the longer effect, if any, is reduced mod support for those newer builds.

    But as for this:

    While Windows and Linux machines, with GPUs that are less than 10 years old, can run Vulkan just fine, macOS doesn’t officially support this API either

    Lol apple

    Might make some mods that support multiple versions stop at 1.20.1 but any new ones will be fine on the new ones, various API, helper mods, and surely some OpenGL->Vulkan translation ones will come in as needed.
