ViaBackwards
On Fabric, use either ViaFabric or ViaFabricPlus. To override the included version
- in ViaFabric, put ViaBackwards into the
modsfolder - in ViaFabricPlus, put ViaBackwards into the
ViaFabricPlus/jarsfolder
Depending on the platform and version, this also requires ViaVersion.
Requires Java 17. See here how to update your installed Java version. As a last resort, you can download Java 8 downgraded builds from our ci.
Get access to Via* with new MC version support early
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
/verifycommand 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)
Note on release channels
It is recommended to always use the latest beta release. Alpha builds are used for work on snapshot version compatibility or other cutting-edge changes.
Always use the same build channel across the ViaVersion, ViaBackwards, and ViaRewind projects.

- New items and entities now show their names as translatable components instead of string text and can be changed via resource packs
- Entities use
vb.entity.<type>, e.g.vb.entity.sulfur_cube, which falls back to26.2 Sulfur Cubeas before.entitynameshas been removed from mapping files - Items use
vb.item.<type>, e.g.vb.item.sulfur, which falls back to26.2 Sulfuras before.itemnameshas been removed from mapping files - Custom model data for new items has been moved to
custom_model_datain the mapping files and starts at 0 for the first 1.13 item, going upwards across every protocol (currently ending at 937). 1.21.4+ clients have their original item identifier added to the custom_model_data string list, and all client versions have the custom model data from the mapping files added (either to the new float list or the old single-int tag)
- Entities use
- On 1.21.5+ servers, handling of items sent by the client now mostly skips from 1.20.4 to 1.21.5 to avoid heavy item reading and transformation code
- If your server is on a version between 1.20.5 and 1.21.4, it is highly recommended you update to 1.21.5 or higher
- Fixed multi-line text displays in 1.19.4->1.19.3
- Fixed disconnects when using new environment attributes in custom dimensions
- Fixed invisible beds in 26.2->26.1 (by booky10)
