5.0.0
1.21 server support!
Java 17 requirement
- See https://docs.papermc.io/misc/java-install on how to update your Java version
- Even Minecraft 1.8 is mostly able to run on Java 17, although for a better experience you should use a fork that fixes smaller issues
- Some older versions require the
Paper.IgnoreJavaVersionsystem property to be set (-DPaper.IgnoreJavaVersion=trueas a startup flag), but run perfectly fine using Java 17 - If all else fails, use the Java 8 compatibility builds we provide at risk of not receiving support for issues it could cause - you should not make yourself depend on these too much, they will generally only be updated on releases

4.10.0
1.20.5 server support; this one of the largest updates network-content wise, so expect rough edges that may not be entirely fixable. While ViaVersion is already complete and stable, ViaBackwards will still need more polishing around certain things like item hover events and trim pattern/material handling.
- Added a large number of sanity checks to NBT reading to prevent errors from bad data
- Fixed 1.20.3->1.20.2 cloud particle handling
- Fixed 1.20.2->1.20 entity sound handling
- Updated the legacy mapping file format (by EnZaXD). If you had changes to these, you will need to redo them, see the wiki for more detail later: https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaBackwards/wiki
Also thanks to EnZaXD for lots of aid with 1.20.5, as well as RK_01, DrexHD, and Gerrygames for additional fixes!

4.9.2
Important release schedule change
Starting 1.20.5, ViaVersion and ViaBackwards will only be released a day/a few days 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. 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 Settings->Connections)
This also includes access to a private repository with the code, which will be pushed to the public repository after the given delay on a Minecraft update.
At the same time however, bug fix patches will be released more regularly, always immediately public, and more of the low-priority issues will be tackled.
Due to the insane pace Mojang has been adding more and more complex technical features since 1.19/1.20, updating ViaVersion and making sure it works well enough has become a lot more time-consuming. Without some extra incentive, I can't really justify putting increasing amounts of free time into these updates, no matter how much I enjoy doing them.
Changes
- Added sanity checks to item reading across all versions
- Fixed various issues in 1.20.3->1.20.2 issues, including component conversion
- Fixed 1.20.2->1.20 tag handling

Note: Via* on BungeeCord does not work properly at the moment, we recommend using our plugins either on the backend servers or on Velocity instead.
