#### Fabric mod to connect to EVERY Minecraft server version (Release, Beta, Alpha, Classic, Snapshots, Bedrock) with QoL fixes to the gameplay
</div>

# Why another protocol translator?
ViaFabricPlus implements the [ViaVersion projects](https://github.com/ViaVersion) into Fabric and provides tons of fixes to the existing protocol translation which can't be implemented in the original ViaVersion project.
These fixes consist of movment changes, block/entity collisions, rendering changes, and many more.

At the time of writing, ViaFabricPlus is the only mod that supports joining all Minecraft server versions down to the first multiplayer version while implementing
legacy combat mechanics, movement, and rendering changes to make the gameplay more feel like the old days.

**On the other hand, ViaFabricPlus supports only the latest Minecraft client version, and only Fabric.**

## Supported Server versions
- Release (1.0.0 - 1.21)
- Beta (b1.0 - b1.8.1)
- Alpha (a1.0.15 - a1.2.6)
- Classic (c0.0.15 - c0.30 including [CPE](https://wiki.vg/Classic_Protocol_Extension))
- April Fools (3D Shareware, 20w14infinite)
- Combat Snapshots (Combat Test 8c)
- Bedrock Edition 1.21.0 ([Some features are missing](https://github.com/RaphiMC/ViaBedrock#features))
