So in today’s video i’m gonna show you how to make your micro server available for pretty much every single minecraft version out there as an example i would like to pick hypixel hypixel is actually compatible with every single minecraft version all the way from 1.8 to 1.18 now By default a minecraft server is of course only compatible with the actual version the minecraft server is in though they’re plugins you can install to allow other minecraft versions to join your server so in today’s video i’m going to show you how to do that anyways Before we start make sure to leave a like on this video and also smash that subscribe button most people watch my videos are actually not subscribed even though you’re just a single click away two clicks if you also want to enable notifications and with those two clicks You would help me and the channel out a lot and then with any further ado let’s dive right into this so like i said in the example of hypixel you will actually be able to join the hypixel server with any minecraft version from 1.8 to 1.18 so it’s compatible with many many minecraft Versions now by default if you make a server people will only be able to join your minecraft server with the version that the server is actually in so to be able to join a vanilla microserver so not a modded server but just a vanilla minecraft server it can have plugins but You just can’t have mods people will actually need to have a client that matches the server version so if you have a minecraft server in version 1.17.1 you would need a 1.17.1 minecraft client to be able to join that server now while by default that is the case They’re actually plugins that you can install that will allow other minecraft versions to also join your server even though the clients don’t match the version the server is actually in and in today’s video i’m gonna show you how to do that we’re gonna get the compatibility of hypixel so to get Started my minecraft right now is in version 1.18.1 it says modded but that’s just because i insult optifine so 1.18.1 remember that if i click on multiplayer down here you will see my server my local running server that server is in version 1.17.1 it also says incompatible version Here and if i double click i would just not be able to join it outdated server i’m still on 1.17.1 which means as soon as i set my client to 1.17.1 i will be able to join the server so we’re going to install a plugin to fix this the plugin we’re Going to install is via version this is a plugin that will allow players that are using a higher client version to join lower server versions you also have an overview over here so you can understand it a little bit better but basically what it’s saying is if you run A minecraft 1.17 server and you install this plugin on it then you will be able to join this server with minecraft version 1.17 and 1.18 now let’s say i will be running a 1.8 server then we can just follow the 1.8 line and you will see that if we install via version every Single minecraft version from 1.8 to 1.18 will be able to join your minecraft server now in my case i don’t want to run a 1.8 server because lots of items and cool stuff is just not in there 1.18 is way too old and for real people are Still running a 1.8 server i don’t get what you’re doing update already that 1.8 came out like how many years ago just update your server now in my case i’m running a 1.17 server so by installing via version i would only allow 1.17 and 1.18 clients to connect Though everything 1.16 and below will not be able to join yet to add that compatibility we will also have to install via backwards so this is the overview of via backwards and what it does is it also allows older minecart clients to join a newer server so if i Would install via backwards together with vr version on my minecraft 1.17 server via version would actually allow for 1.18 servers to join and via backwards would allow for everything 1.16 and below to join so 1.16 15 14 13 12 11 10 and 1.9 all of those server Versions will be compatible not 1.8 yet and that’s because 1.8 is just old so to allow 1.7 and 1.8 clients to connect to your server you will yet again need another plugin called via rewind so in theory by installing via version via backwards and via rewind you would allow Every single minecraft client from version 1.7 to 1.18 to join your minecraft server that is a lot of compatibility but it does come with some issues and that’s what i want to show you here in this video that you might not want every single minecraft client version to be compatible with your server So to show you that it works here we are back in my minecraft 1.18.1 client if i go to multiplayer now you will still see my minecraft 1.17 server though this time i’m actually able to join so here we go and we’re loaded in i’m your Minecraft version 1.18 now but if i type slash version you can see that we’re running a 1.17.1 version server now overall via version is the safest plugin to install this is because it only allows newer client versions to join a older server version and not a lot can Actually go wrong with that i mean my minecraft 1.18 client has all the resources to play on a 1.17 server it just also has the 1.18 resources to play in 1.18 servers so if i would be running a 1.15 server for example then my 1.18 client would have other resources to Also play on that 1.15 server i mean the 1.18 version of course has all the blocks that were also in 1.15 it has all the textures that were also in version 1.15 it just has even more so that can’t really cause a problem but what happens when you join a newer minecraft server Version with an older client because the way minecraft works is all the textures you see are actually stored locally on your own pc but let’s say i would join this 1.17 server with a minecraft 1.15 client then that minecraft 1.15 client won’t know the textures of minecraft 1.16 and 1.17 and 1.18 i mean at the time that 1.15 client was released 1.16 and 17 and 18 blocks didn’t exist yet so the client doesn’t know them still you’re able to join the server how will that work well to show you i made myself operator and put myself in gamemode Creative i’m gonna get a gs now just like that put the chest here on the tree then we’re gonna put in some 1.17 items okay so these are all 1.17 items and these are 1.16 items there we go now what happens when i join with a minecraft client that is in version 1.15. so in that version these blocks here and these items here don’t exist what happens when you join the server with a client where some blocks just don’t exist yet well let’s see here we are in version 1.15.2 let’s click on multiplayer and like you can see i’m actually able to join this Server even though it is a version 1.17 i’m still able to join with my minecraft 1.15 client so i’m just gonna click here and we will join the server just like that now remember this is a 1.15 client neterite didn’t exist here deep slate also didn’t exist here those blocks were Just not in the game yet so how do these blocks look right now will they disappear will they look different well they will look different so it is the plugin via backwards that allow me in this server now what via backwards does is it replaces items with textures that Are kind of close to it so for example this sword over here it does say 1.16 netherride sword now for the server this is still just a netherride sword and it’s still just called netherride swords but because i’m in version 1.15 where the texture and the item in general Didn’t exist yet it would just show me a diamond sword and the name will be 1.16 netherride sword it is still a netherride sword the server will still see it as a neteroid sword players who are playing in version 1.17 will still see this as a netherride sword for me Though it will just show like a diamond sword because that’s the closest thing to it that my looks like a available brick this one is just a normal diamond ore even though it is a deep slate ore and this is an amethyst block he replaces it with one Of those end blocks but that’s basically how the plugin works it will replace items the client doesn’t know with items kind of close to it now of course how older the minecraft client version you’re playing with how more textures are gonna be replaced like this in 1.10 Only a fraction of the items that are in 1.18 actually exist so all those items will need to get replaced so if you’re joining version 1.10 or 1.9 even then tons of textures will need to get replaced if you play in version 1.18 though nothing like that will be going On because 1.18 knows all the 1.17 items and blocks this is probably also the reason why they put via version and via backwards into separate plugins via version can’t really affect anything though the other way around like you can see it can cause some problems now you Might not think this is a problem you might think this is fine oh look we got a glow squid here it actually has a name above it that says glow squid so if we kill it now then it will give me where is it there we go 1.17 glow inktec and For other people this will still show like glowing tech for me it just shows like regular insect and it actually has this weird name but for others it won’t now in survival this might not be a really big problem but let’s say you had a creative server or some other kind of Cool building server then of course problems could be occurring because players might see some of your builds completely different than they’re actually intended so here we go version 1.10.2 if we go to multiplayer i can still join the server which is just insane but remember we’re still in Version 1.10.2 the server is in version 1.17 so it has the new neter let’s go to the neter oh by the way here inside the creative inventory we will only see the items that our client actually knows so you will only see items until 1.10 just Like that okay let’s go in here so this might look really weird we have just normal golden oars here but of course if we will be in version 1.17 this would show as like a nether ore oh here we got a piglin of course 1.10 doesn’t have the Pickling texture so it is just a pigment for us um we’re actually not inside of a new volume though we should be flying around in somebody oh here we go here we go it actually replaces it with wool okay so we got cyan wool here for the Warped volume let’s say i would have an iron x i’m going to gamemode survival and then we mined this what will it say 1.16 warp stem look at that and this will just be yeah 1.16 warped wards block it is just a texture that changes the blocks are the same but the texture Is different it’s so weird and the question is do you want this in your minecraft server so here we are in version 1.18 again and you can see that everything just looks like a normal 1.8 neter even though just a second ago all the textures were just completely Different that wasn’t version 1.10 so long story short it’s completely up to you via version is very safe to install it won’t cause any problems so if you run a 1.15 server and you want to allow 1.16 17 and 18 clients to actually join then you can do that safely with via Version without any problem and if you also want older client versions to join newer server versions you will need to install via backwards and it will actually replace blocks for you that it doesn’t know now then you also still have via rewind which also allows 1.7 And 1.8 clients to join your 1.17 server for example i don’t know if i would go that far back i mean via backwards just works great and fine and of course everything can look very different for an old what are you doing i’m explaining something to the viewers on other Clients the game will look very different but it’s still safe to install via rewind it goes so far back i mean 1.7 join the 1.18 server with 1.7 but it’s just as easy as just dragging it into your plugins folder and you will be ready to go that goes for all of these Plugins by the way just download them drag them into your plugins folder and you will be ready to go that’s it it’s as easy as it can get anyways guys i do really hope you enjoyed watching this video hopefully you got some useful information out of it if you did don’t Forget to leave a like and also check if you’re
