ViaVersion

Our aim is to allow newer client versions to connect to older server versions. Just drag and drop it into the plugin folder and you're done, see below if you use a proxy like BungeeCord. We currently support Spigot / Paper / Velocity from the download on this page (ViaBungee / ViaSponge / ViaFabric are extra addons).

We suggest reading our Installation page on our docs first, this will ensure everything is set up correctly.

Here's what is supported (Newer versions on older servers):


Note: ViaVersion only supports newer versions, even on subversions! Use ViaBackwards and ViaRewind to allow older versions to connect. Builds labelled with a dash (eg. -DEV) are on our build server. If you're confused what Via* plugins you need click here.

Do you use BungeeCord / Velocity? Ensure you have updated it first, you can use the plugin on your backend servers OR Velocity. Compatibility is the best when on your backend servers.

Kicked for too many packets? We include a packet limiter if you need to disable this simply set the limits to -1 in the config.

• All plugins you use should be made for the Bukkit version you are using.
• Reloads are buggy, don't report bugs if they break your server, just reboot.
• Make sure your BungeeCord / Velocity plugins are up to date & so is Bungee / Velocity. (Also try removing SkinRestorer if disconnect issues if you use it)
• BKCommonLib does not work properly with ProtocolLib for 1.8.8, you can use my special version here.
• Orebfuscator does not work properly with ProtocolLib for 1.8, you can use my special version here.
