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!
