ViaVersion - Support newer versions on your server

ViaVersion - Click Here to Download

Developed by _MylesC and Matsv for Bukkit / Sponge / BungeeCord

ViaVersion adds the ability for older servers to allow newer clients to connect.

@FormallyMyles - If you want to stay in the loop, or just love me.

Here’s a quick summary:

Just drag n drop and it should work. If you get stuck check out our Installation guide. (We promise it won’t take 3 hours to read!)

If you’re using it on BungeeCord, you want to install ViaVersion only on the Bungee (though you can choose to just install it on the sub servers and then not on the bungee).

Anything over $5 makes the list. (Donators are really awesome!)

We’ve released version 1.0.0 which supports sponge and allows 1.11 clients to connect

Man_Of_Jupiter · February 27, 2017, 8:06pm

Is it possible to run this for a 1.10.2 server? we only run 1.10.2 and 1.11.2. We would like to use purpur blocks and so on in the lobby.

Myles · February 28, 2017, 8:50pm

You can do this but you can’t use new blocks as we only support the same features as you’re server is running.

Man_Of_Jupiter · March 6, 2017, 5:23pm

I keep crashing:

mods/pluggins:

Myles · March 6, 2017, 7:22pm

You’re using the wrong jar file, you use the same version for sponge / bungee / spigot.

Myles · March 10, 2017, 4:35pm

Delete ViaVersion config and should regenerate with a working version.

SalvadorZXA · May 8, 2017, 12:46am

Is there a link for ViaBackwards for Sponge?

Myles · May 9, 2017, 3:26pm

The version 2.0 on spigot would support 1.9 on a 1.10 server otherwise the plugin is inactive due to mats having other things going on.

phit · May 16, 2017, 1:44am

Works great for connecting to a 1.10.2 Sponge server using a 1.11.2 Forge client!
If your server is behind BungeeCord you have to use either Waterfall or HexagonMC’s fork, it does not work with vanilla Bungee and SpongePls!

Myles · June 7, 2017, 12:08pm

Whazaaaaa · June 11, 2017, 2:25pm

Any way this could work with a sponge bungeecord server thats using spongepls?

Because adding it to a server doesnt seem to work(where a standalone server does). Or would this have to be done on the bungeecord side?
I only need it on my hub to work but sadly it doesnt.

Myles · June 11, 2017, 2:51pm

Could you try just putting it on the bungee?

Whazaaaaa · June 11, 2017, 3:09pm

Ill try that when my servers are less populated as they are right now and will report back.

Whazaaaaa · June 12, 2017, 7:48am

Putting is on my bungee seems to have worked (I joined with 1.11.2 into my 1.10.2 hub)
But I did get a weird error in my console perhaps you can tell me what is causing this:

CamdenX · September 8, 2017, 6:12am

I just tried with no plugins on the server but via version, still does not work

Myles · September 9, 2017, 3:42pm

@CamdenX There’s another guy with the same issue on GitHub here https://github.com/MylesIsCool/ViaVersion/issues/743, if you’re able to help me as I can’t currently reproduce it. (Of course reply here if you don’t have a GitHub account)

Keuterio · September 16, 2017, 8:46am

I had too many “too lazy to downgrade to 1.11” so thanks for this plugin, it will be really convenient
