ViaBackwards

# ViaBackwards

On Fabric, use either (https://modrinth.com/mod/viafabric) or (https://modrinth.com/mod/viafabricplus). To override the included version - in ViaFabric, put ViaBackwards into the `mods` folder - in ViaFabricPlus, put ViaBackwards into the `ViaFabricPlus/jars` folder

*Depending on the platform and version, this also requires (https://modrinth.com/mod/viaversion).**

Requires Java 17. See (https://docs.papermc.io/misc/java-install) how to update your installed Java version. As a last resort, you can download Java 8 downgraded builds from (https://ci.viaversion.com/view/ViaBackwards/job/ViaBackwards-Java8/).

## 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: - (https://github.com/sponsors/kennytv/sponsorships?sponsor=kennytv&tier_id=385613&preview=false) (preferred option, also comes with source code access. Use the `/verify` command on this Discord after), or alternatively - (https://www.patreon.com/kennytv/membership) (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.
