How to add true backwards compatibility to 1.16.5 and older versions?
Hey! I'm using via backwards and it really works well, but when people go below y 0, get bugged and can't play well.
and how about the new blocks and items. because i have a 1.20.1 server but most of my players using 1.12.2 like 4 from 6. Can you think of any way to improve compatibility or fix that problem? Thx.

Tell them to stop using 500 year old versions of minecraft if they want compatability with newer features :)
^
500 year old version 💀
if you are doing anything that is belove y=0 or y=256+ you shouldnt be letting players <1.18 join
a player playing on the version before the y level changes cannot go below y0, if they could they wouldnt see anything anyways due to a limitation caused by the old version
so tdlr, anything below 1.17 ro 1.18 will never beable to see blocks between -64 and 0
is there a way to tell viaversion/viabackwards what versions should be allowed eg 1.18-1.20.1?
Yes in the config
than how about blocks
than how about blocks
than how about blocks
what do you mean how about blocks?
when you play with 1.16.5 you see cooper ore like iron ore
and amythist like purple end block
thats intentional
cooper ingot like bricks
and more
well what about them?
who
your questions make no sense
like what are you actually asking
i need a solution to replace the wrong blocks for older versions by the newer
like a texture pack or something
you cant
ok
like you might beable to replace blocks and items while your holding them but you cannot replace already placed blocks
its just a limitating with protocol hacking and also with the minecraft client itself
ok thx
viaversion and other protocol hacks that allow older versions on newer versions arent going to be perfect
your just stuck with what you get
ok
so should i stop making a resource pack that backports everything from 1.20.1 to older versions all the way down to 1.10?
bcs i am working know with the code
and finished the textures replacements
if the features looking right is that much of a bother to you then you should just not allow such old versions on the server
ok
than i will loose about 50 players😩
then get them to update
if their computers arent powerful enough to run 1.20.1 then sucks to be them
or they will have to deal with the limitations of being on an older version on a newer version server
yes
all my players have a big potato pc
ok so Thx everyone
