ViaBackwards
Starting with 1.20.5, ViaVersion and ViaBackwards will only be released a day or so after a Minecraft update unless the protocol changes of the update were trivial. If you want early-access, usually days or even weeks before the final release, you can subscribe to either:
- GitHub Sponsors (preferred option, also comes with source code access. Use the
/verify
command on this Discord after), or alternatively - Patreon (see the highest tier and make sure to link Patreon to your Discord account under Discord Settings->Connections)
Installation
This plugin requires to have ViaVersion installed. Drag and drop both plugins in your plugin folder, and you are good to go.

FAQ
Do you support 1.8 and lower?
No, use ViaRewind or ProtocolSupport if you want backwards compatibility for 1.8 and lower.
Can I use this with BungeeCord?
Yes, you can also use both ViaBackwards and ViaVersion with BungeeCord.
Clients with versions lower than 1.17 can't see blocks under y=0, will that ever be fixed?
No.
How can I report issues and bugs?
You can report bugs on the GitHub issue tracker. You can also use the Discussion section from the resource or send me a private message.
Why did you not implement this inside ViaVersion?
The aim of ViaVersion is to allow a newer Minecraft client on an older server; by making it inside ViaVersion, people will expect us to also create full backwards compatibility in the future.
