Get access to Via* with new MC version support early
Starting with 1.20.5, ViaVersion and ViaBackwards are only 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)
