ViaForwards

ViaForwards (ViaVersion Addon)

ViaForwards is a small plugin designed to fix issues with Minecraft snapshot servers when using ViaVersion. Snapshots are experimental by nature, and that often means broken packets, odd behavior, or compatibility problems. This plugin helps smooth those issues out.

It works alongside ViaVersion and ViaBackwards, improving stability and compatibility when running newer snapshot versions on your server.

What it adds

Fixes common packet issues in snapshot builds

Patches bugs that can break gameplay on experimental versions

Improves cross-version compatibility when using ViaVersion

Makes snapshot servers more stable and usable

Why download it?

If you’re hosting a snapshot server, you’ve probably run into random glitches or version-related problems. ViaForwards is made to reduce that frustration and make testing or playing on snapshots more reliable. It doesn’t replace ViaVersion — it enhances it specifically for experimental Minecraft builds.
