Bear in mind these are very old versions of minecraft. Mods on these versions are still somewhat popular in a dedicated group, but these won't be a problem for a typical minecraft player.

That said, EnderIO in 1.12 is probably still fairly popular. It would be a good idea for server admins and players who use that mod in particular to look into this.
