1.8 pvp mechanics for players on new versions on a server running via version
I have a factions server running on 1.8 but allow players to join on versions newer than 1.8 using via version. This does put those players at a disadvantage in pvp since the mechanics are different so I was wondering if there’s any plugin I could use to simulate old pvp for those new players. I’ve found multiple plugins but they are not for 1.8.

Usually plugins are not version specific
Try using those pvp plugins you found. Good chance it will work.
Ok
They are but
Usually they say they are version specific
It'a worth a shot though. I give it a 75% chance the plugin will work on modern minecraft
Oh no I was running it backwards from 1.9 to 1.8
But it works
My server is 1.8 trying to allow 1.9 and up players to have a fair advantage
A side note, running a decade-old server version is generally not a good idea
I think its fine if you run updated forks
The amount of servers that run 1.8 is enormous. Even hypixel. I also have a custom server jar
viaversion shouldn't give 1.9 players a disadvantage. iirc it removes the swing times from weapons on 1.8 servers
