## Contact
If you encounter any issues, please report them on the
[issue tracker](https://github.com/FlorianMichael/ViaForge/issues).
If you just want to talk or need help with ViaForge feel free to join the ViaVersion
[Discord](https://discord.gg/viaversion).
## For users
### Where can I download the latest version?
CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/viaforge
Modrinth: https://modrinth.com/mod/viaforge
### Can you add new textures and blocks from higher versions?
No, because it is too time-consuming
### ViaVersion throws an error, or I can't access a server, what should I do?
First of all see if it's because of an installed mod, otherwise come to the support Discord and tell me logs, mc version etc.
### Certain collisions or other items bug, can you fix it?
No
## For developers

### Project Structure
All ViaForge versions from Minecraft version 1.12 onwards are on the `master` branch.
The names of the submodules indicate the version, they are always given in the format `mc-`.
`Minecraft 1.12.2` - `mc1122`
### ViaForge for Minecraft 1.8
Since ForgeGradle for Minecraft 1.8 is too old, it has its own branch called `legacy-1.8`
### I want ViaForge in my own utility mod
Just take a look at my other Project called `ViaMCP`: https://github.com/FlorianMichael/ViaMCP
