What if you build a new plugin named Your Choice but It shout be like don't need to add 3 plugins like ViaVersion, ViaBackwards & ViaRewind. Instead of using one single plugin. I was thinking about it. But realized I don't know JAVA. but I said you.... Just reply me if this is possible or not....

Extraordinary Plugin! A NEED for your server, also when you have friends that cant decide in what version to enter lol

Good plugin, a little fiddly around some areas, fx. ladders etc.
Also confusing that the ViaBackwards version and the ViaVersion version had to be the same, but figured it out quite fast.

Works as intended, good plugin

pretty good plugin. it helps uniting the Minecraft comunnity regardless of the version, very good

Yay update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It works great!
Btw people who say it doesnt work you need to have viaversion installed as well for it to work

Everything is great, very good, but there is one problem. I don’t know if I should write this to you or anyone else, but item_display is not visible if the server is on version 1.20.2 and the client is 1.20.1

Works as it should, don't expect literal magic with a big version diff.
Thank you for years of continued support for this plugin ☮

i have this issue on console:

[ModernPluginLoadingStrategy] Could not load 'plugins/ViaBackwards-4.6.1.jar' in 'plugins'

I Am A Long Time User of ViaVersion, ViaRewind, ViaBackwards.
I ran into recent issues where i couldn't get on my server.
I hadn't updated all 3 of these to the latest version, instead only updating ViaVersion.
I joined the discord for support and user Howard ZHY figured it out in under 30 miniutes! Very impressive!
Join discord for useful updates!
Special thanks again to Howard ZHY!!

Good plugin, support responded quickly and solved the problem. I put 5 stars and use on all servers, have a good day everyone and thanks to the authors of this masterpiece!

wow new release and 10k downloads already ? that shows how amazing this plugin is, thanks for updating to 1.19.4

i recommend to add option in the config to add only the versions i want to add to my server. i dont want to open my server to any older version i want only 1.19+ and my server 1.19.3 so i want to 1.19.2 and 1.19.1 only add.

Awesome plugin! Not only it allows players to use different versions, it also replaces blocks from new versions with similar different ones. Every plugin i tried worked perfectly on every version. Thank you for this!

Great plugins i use it in 1.19.3 paper along side with
ViaVersion
ViaRewind
ViaBackwards

they help the server to allow players from 1.8 - 1.192 to connect to
1.19.3 (native server version)

I tried to connect to server 1.19.2 from 1.12.2 and it worked. Very useful plugin along with ViaVersion.

Excelente para mi servidor, me ayuda mucho a mejorar el servidor y tener mas funcionalidad

Can you please update to 1.19.2 my server is 1.19.2 and i want to join with 1.19.1 because optifine isn't out for 1.19.2 yet

I have version 1.19.1 on my server. can I make it so that I can only log in from version 1.19?

thanks for updating to 1.19.1

This will keep the server with a good backwards compatibility guarantee

Internal Exception: io.netfy.handler.codec.DecoderException: Received unexpected null component

Working perfectly on 1.19.x. My players with older hardware keep playing on the server using 1.16.x.

Hi, did you can fix bug with below 0 coordinaties for version below 1.18.2?........................thx

Es genial, puedo ingresar a mi servidor desde la versión 1.17.1 mientras el server es 1.18.2, por temas de rendimiento me termina pareciendo mejor.

is there a way to have textures from 1.17 to 1.16.5 when the server is on v1.17? if not can you add it?

===================================
Excelente plugin, funciona correctamente.
===================================

Great resource, a must have for any server that always works perfectly.

Ignore the dummy below me ;)

error, paperspigot 1.18.1
[ViaBackwards] Custom worlds heights are NOT SUPPORTED for 1.16 players and older and may lead to errors!

Awesome plugin! Never had any issues with it whatsoever. Amazing Developer. keep at it!

works great thx ☺ works like I wanted server runs smooth syr about my english I guess my German is better

Thanks to this and ViaRewind I was able to update my server to 1.12.2 all while keeping the use of 1.7-1.11 clients. Awesome work.

works good...................................................................................

Hello, there is a problem! Please tell me!

Please fix it so that the bossbar display is normal on kernel 1.12.2 on version 1.8

This message appears many times in the console and it does not let me see anything at all! I don't know if it lages the server as well but it's super annoying, why is it?

A great plugin that lets your users on older versions connect nearly seamlessly on your modern software. Keeps our players on older computers able to connect. Thanks for a great resource!

Really cool. The only thing that could improve this plugin is being able to change blocks yourself. by that i mean a blocks.yml for example. and in it it shows like
white_concrete: quartz_block
so you can customize the blocks for older versions. other than that this is insane

Thank you. Works great with Via-Version/ViaRewind.

Constant warnings in the console when a player logs in -- https://p.reflex.rip/uqav.css

It's great although there are issues with boats on 1.7 and 1.8 clients. I can't wait for viabackwards for 20w45a to come out, because I want to update my survival server. I am using geyser, and bedrock is still on 1.16.3 so I need viabackwards for them to join.

I really like this plugin.
It works pretty well.

But:
If for example a 1.12 player has a netherite pickaxe in it's inventory, it's rendered as a diamond pickaxe... I don't have a problem with this... But the server has... If a 1.12 player then opens it's inventory the netherite pickaxe turns into an ACTUAL diamond pickaxe and destroys pretty much the use of all new stuff...

I Have 1.16.4 Server But I Want 1.8.9 PvP How Do i Make It Perfectly??

Can You Help me??

Awesome Plugin! It is just great to have new Features on the Server but Players don't need to Switch versions all the Time. Just great overall! Keep it up! :D

very nice and helpful plugin for servers makes other versions of mc join our servers hope to see more updates soon!!

Plase update to 1.14.4.
_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=___=========////////===/============

Great plugin please update to 1.14 so I can use it! Tired of using the competitors plugin.

Please update to version 1.14.4 (players can join with 1.13 and 1.14 :DDDDDD Great!.

wow! amazing work, also thanks for posting the dev version in the comment section!

Hi, please ignores all the ignorant idiots below who don't realise this plugin IS being updated for 1.14+ and they need to go to the following link to download it xo https://ci.viaversion.com/view/ViaBackwards/job/ViaBackwards-DEV/

It's a perfect plugin, but i will use it for 1.14. When comes the update for the 1.14?

Poor plugin upkeep. I'd gladly pay for this plugin if it was kept up to date. I hope it's updated to 1.14+ soon!

Great plugin! If someone need to use it on 1.13 or 1.14 there's a link for dev version. https://ci.viaversion.com/view/ViaBackwards/job/ViaBackwards-DEV/

Can you update that plugin to 1.13 and 1.14 version? Please, i realy need it :P 5 Stars for good work!

1.13 and 1.14 pleaseeeee we all love and need this plugin don't let it die, protocol support has no customization and is buggy/laggy.
If you guys really have no time, hire someone else to complete it or hire them to motivate you.

Nice plugin! But i wish please make it for the 1.13.X! Thanks really nice Plugin!

The current version does not work with ViaVersion 2.1 and the current version of the ViaRewind plugin.
ProtocolSupport is not good enough.
Please update! :D
Thanks.

Thanks! We are wait update 1.13-1.14 Support wait. The Best Plugin! Thanks. Good Job!

amazing pls pls add 1.13 and soon 1.14 support proto support is dead pls love via version

Really good job guys! This plugins is very util for many server I know, and talking with owners they told me they would like this plugin get updated. Actually also I want this plugin get updated because if not I'm forced to close my server and also other owner. Get busy guys and good luck!
PS: I'm usin' development verisons! Don't rate bad, use those versions.

It's a good plugin, does what it says it does. and doesn't require any additional configurations. I don't care much for 1.13 as I just want this for a skygrid server. which can run on 1.12 just fine.

This is a great plugin, ignore all those kiddies giving 1-star reviews thinking this is a problem with this plugin when they haven't even set their EULA to true. Also, just because a plugin is still not updated but works great on older versions, it doesn't mean it deserves a 1-star. Stop shouting at the developers and giving them bad reviews, hoping they update. This is a resourceful but free plugin, and the developers are not slaves. They are temporarily inactive due to a lack of time, read the page. It's not like they have to update a free plugin on their work hours.

Very cool but uptade to 1.13.2 pls! Thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Still no update to 1.13. inactive, so baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

Works great! along with ViaRewind & ViaVersion, i can now have the oppertunity to have players from 1.7 - 1.13+

I think people rate it badly because it's an important plugin in the comunity, and haven't seen an update in more than a year, despite a new major release of minecraft being out for 4 months.

What's with all the one star weebs? This is an amazing plugin and I would love to see it in 1.13.2!

Update to 1.13.2 Update to 1.13.2 Update to 1.13.2 Update to 1.13.2 Update to 1.13.2

you guys below me giving bad ratings asking for 1.13 are dumb! click on the development builds link above, it's for 1.13!!!!!!!! great plugin!

update to 1.13.1/1.13.2 pls!...................................................................

Please update to 1.13.2!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm using this on my 1.12.2 server to allow 1.10 - 1.12.1 players to join and it works like a charm.

very good plugin just 1 problem will this error be ever fixed : https://file.properties/paste/oyuhizaqis.cpp it started happening when i used the plugin headdatabase diffrent color chests for my crates

I need 1.13 version..........................................................................................

1.13 pls update............................................................................

UPDATEEEEEE................................................................................

UPDATE PLEASE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please support 1.13 backwards to 1.8 it would help alot please do
Thanks for making it anyway.

Thanks for Plugin. Always Update Plugin. Its recommend plugin. Good Plugin. Thanks!

Please Update 1.8 To All Version!!!!
The Best Plugin Im Use Every Years...................

Excellent plugin,
although I would like it to be updated to 1.13
Keep it up, mate,

- TheGameBeastNL
(Owner of PindaNetwork)

Great plugin!
when is the next update for 1.13+?
keep going!
-------------------

Will we need to use this when ViaRewind updates to 1.13?

Anyway, I love all of this stuff, some people get tricked into thinking servers are always on the latest version somehow, and ViaVersion is really useful for staying on 1.12.2 (because of the world data switcheroo).

--------------------------------
Please update for 1.13
--------------------------------

Please update for Spigot 1.13

No problems at all hope you will never stop DEV new versions of it! <3 Thank you!

AMAZING, made my server compatible with many versions. 100% would recommend !

This is best plugin for Backwards please add connection for 1.8.x. Nice developer #ThumbUp.

Excellent plugin but have error while player play on MC 1.10 and Spigot 1.11 or lower than when place a block slab or stair, it just fixed the velocity! pls fixed player can place block

Better than ProtocolSupport if you're looking for 1.9 compatibility, and ViaRewind if you want down to 1.7.
Nearly flawless. Since I'm giving a good review, might as well report a tiny issue...
On older versions, trapdoors, slabs, etc seem to always place on the lower half of the blocks, even if you look on the top half.

Is the plugin have dependency with ViaVersion? MyleIsCool please support me!!!!!

greate Plugin ............................................................................ Nice Plugin

its a really great plugin is helps alot of servers who wants to old versions to join to their servers too
Glad you made this plugin and for free!

Отличный плагин, всё работает. Протокол саппорт почему-то не пошёл) Не забрасывай его, пожалуйста.

Added to my server, Did not work. I deleted the viaversion config and restarted the server with viaversion 1.3.0 and the latest version of this plugin. Nothing happened.

This plugin is AMAZING! It is very much plug-and-play as it just works instantly. Everything works as it should AND smoothly! One issue is, and I know it is because it isn't supported. 1.8-1.8.9 .. Why not? I don't want to add ProtocolSupport as well as this plugin JUST for 1.8 to work, why won't you add support for 1.8?! Please add support?

I have experienced no bugs with this compatibility plugin. Switched from Protocolsupport, and I am not going back.

This plugin works great on my 1.12.1 server no bugs and as a added bonus I could not update my server to 1.12.2 this plugin did that for me awesome plugin!

So great !!! i made a server 1.12.1 an i can join with 1.12.X 1.11.X 1.10.X 1.9.X so cool!

Hey thx for your great plugin , but I wanna make a server only fo 1.9 1.10 and 1.11 but there is the version 1.8 , how can I delete the version 1.8 ?

Great! But is it possible to edit the versions that can join?
Thank you! We love this plugin!

Thank you so much for sharing! This makes it so easy and so help full. many players still use old versions and i dont have to inform them to switch no more. :D

I can join with 1.9, but not with 1.8 and i need to join with 1.8!
(Serverversion: 1.12.2)

A lot of thank you was given to you.
You've been working hard for this.
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Thanks a lot
for what you've been done.
your kindness will never be forgotten.

Fantastic plugin, allows me to keep my more simple servers upto date whilst the larger ones get updated/fixed on a newer version, please keep this updated, (even if made premium)

Id 100% say this is my favorite plugin on spigot forums and highly recommend to anyone

Perfect! Works perfectly. Thanks for releasing this so quickly! I have to type more words to post this review uhgggg

Excellent plugin! Makes life so much easier. It's almost always older clients joining newer servers, not the other way around, so this is a MUCH needed addition to ViaVersion. For those wondering -- the 1.12.2 update has been pushed to the git repo. I'm assuming they are running last minute tests and a .jar download will likely be available within a day or two.

Great plugin in conjunction with ViaVersion. Just waiting for it to be updated to 1.12.2

I really love and need this plugin. I would love u so much if you add 1.12.2 support

Hello im running 1.12 server and how to do player can join witch 1.8 version?This is great plugin !!!!

Really great plugin that's made my life easy! It's great when this updates before Optifine to allow players to join my 1.12.1 server on 1.9-1.12.1!

Really great plugin :) As I am using for 1.12/1.12.1 is what I needed. Thank You! Keep up the good work.

I just want to take the time to thank you for your time and dedication for this plugin. People don't understand how lucky they are to have a plugin like this for their server. This helps my server to the most extent, and I am super happy with it. I'm glad you are who you are, and made this free for all Server Owner's. This is one of the most helpful plugins and helps everyone get more players. Again, thank you so much for all of your time and effort.

Does what it claims thus far. I have only tested it by connecting to a 1.12 server with a 1,11,2 client. There are warnings in the console (a little annoying, maybe they could be moved to a separate log to keep the console clean?) but so far no issues with a 1.11.2 client connecting to a 1.12 server.

Great plugin, works really stable and it's updated very quickly after a new MC version is released! Thank you!

I cant join from 1.12. My server on version 1.12.1 and use VV 1.2.0. Please fix it

I cant join from 1.12. My server on version 1.12.1 and use VV 1.2.0. Please fix it

Excellent plugin. Works perfectly and is easy to use. I use it on my server. Website - www.skyislandskyblock.com. Ip - skyislandskyblock.fun

шикарный плагин. он просто необходим каждому серверу. теперь я могу поддерживать новые версии.

GOOD. it supports what it 90% saysy it does not support 1.8 but it does others but I like it still

Matsv is awesome he made a plugin that benefits so many servers by allowing 1.9/1.10/1.11/1.12 on my server! its amazing because i will probably get more players because of this in the future as supporting more versions = more players.

I love this plugin!

Maybe we can get 1.8 support?

Hi.I like this plugin very much.
I want to post this powerful plugin on bbs in China,can I?

http://www.mcbbs.tvt.im

Thanks.

I love this plugin it really help. I tested this plugin on my test server to see if it really works and amazingly it does. However I do have on question. Does this prevent any 1.12 features/blocks/mobs?

Good plugin.
Just trying to fill space here because Spigot hates me having free time and requires me to have 100 characters.

Thank you for updating your plugin! It has been a while, but thank you. Works great, but I do wish it was 1.12, and it supported down to 1.8, but I understand why you can't do so.

Thank you for this update! I used this plugin back when 1.10 was released to support 1.9 players - really helpful :D

Great plugin, better than ProtocolSupport IMO. Actually supports renaming and has effort put into it. ProtocolSupport is way worse for having no names for backported blocks, no configuration, and terrible support. I really think you should update this when you get the time again, as ProtocolSupport is incomplete and the creator of it refuses to actually add any features that would make it even slightly more complete.

Good plugin although would be better if I could run it on a 1.11 or 1.11.2 server to allow 1.10, would be so much better.

Hello, Pls add 1.11 update

1.9/1.10/1.11 ;)
----------------------------------------------------- 100 characters

Hey Bro, we are Waiting for an 1.11 Update, it is really important vor All ViaVerison/ViaBackwards User. Please let Connect players with 1.9/1.10/1.11 to all our 1.11 Servers!

waiting patiently for the 1.11 update so i can update my servers to 1.11
thank you for all your work myles :)

Waiting for update to 1.11.
I could use ProtocolSupport for 1.9, 1.8, 1.7, 1.6, 1.5 and 1.4 compatibilty, this for 1.10 support and ViaVersion for 1.11.x support if Spigot does not have it already.

Can you add support for 1.9 and 1.10 to join a 1.11 server? This is another AWESOME plugin thank you for making it! You should make this premium i would pay $100 for this, this is VALUE!

Awesome! Add 1.8 to this awesome plugin, I really Need 1.10 and 1.8 2gether




Thank you for your help sir!
