ViaFabric Mod (26.2, 1.20.1) – Connect to Servers Running Different Versions

ViaFabric Mod allows you to join Minecraft servers that are running an older version than your current game version. For example, you can connect to a 1.14.4 or 1.16.5 server while using version 1.18.2 or later – even if the server would normally reject you due to version mismatch. It’s possible to join servers from a newer game version that would usually be incompatible.

Features:

• Lets you join older-version servers (like 1.14.4 or 1.16.5) while using a newer client (like 1.18.2 or later).
• Adds a VIA button in the multiplayer menu where you can enable/disable the mod and choose which version to emulate.
• Compatible with mods like ViaBackwards and ViaRewind to allow even more version flexibility.
