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.

206a5b4 Pass new item and entity names as translatable This removes the itemnames and entitynames sections from mapping data and instead allows for easier changes via resource packs.
For 1.20.5+ clients, entities use the vb.entity.<type> translate key; items use vg.item.<type>. The old-style string (e.g. "26.2 Sulfur" is added into the fallback field).
For clients below 1.20.5, the old style string is put directly into the translate field.
