ViaVersion

Allows the connection of higher client versions to lower server versions - it works on any platform you can think of.

The base ViaVersion jar runs on Paper and Velocity. We also have projects integrating ViaVersion to run on Fabric, Forge, Bungee, Sponge, or as a standalone proxy to join from basically any client version on any server version from the past decade. See HERE for an overview of the different Via* projects.

Note that ViaVersion will be able to run best on either Paper servers or through ViaFabricPlus due to having direct access to client/server state and more extensive API.

Snapshot support

ViaVersion will only be released a few days 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 /verify command 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.
