The other versions 1.14 not for window 14.3 1.13 not one they’ll all be able to join your minecraft server using the plug-in using the methods that we showcase here it’s very very simple and very very easy process and it is all using this plug-in right here

The version first of all most though um is more sponsor with Apex minecraft oh so you know the first link down below at the breakdown XYZ slash apex desert your very own 24 hour DDoS victim minecraft server for you and your friends to play

On enjoy just had a ton of fun with it is a great great place to start on minecraft server and overall we loved them so much that we use our own server played up breakdown craft call on them so again you can check out any effects

The first link down below to break down to XYZ slash apex get in the incredible minecraft server for you and your friends nevertheless let’s go ahead and install via version so the first thing you need to do is obviously download via version you can find in the description

Down below and it doesn’t work on 1.8 all the way up to 1.14 however you’re probably not gonna be using this if you’re running a 1.14 dot for server you don’t need it right because you can only join i mean if we scroll down here as

You can see if we’re running a 1.12 server 1.13 and 1.14 you can join now there is via backwards and via rewind that can allow 1.7 through 1.11 clients to actually join a 1.12 server but we’re not going over that today if you would like it’s real net let me know in the

Comments section down below we’re just focusing on versions from 1.9 and higher and even other versions of 1.8 to join your server same thing goes with what we’re actually gonna be doing today which is on a 1.12 server so if you have a 1.12 server that means 1.13 and wind

Out 14 clients can join it for example our Skyblock i’m breakdown craft is hosted in 112 – yeah you can join it off of 1.13 window 1301 what a 1302 1.14 and all the 1.14 versions all the way up to 1 dot 14.4 so nevertheless once you have

This page again to see second link down below just look on the download now button and it will go ahead and download the bottom left if you’re almost el firefox in the sam your screen you want to except in the center of your screen however if you’re on google chrome you

Need to keep it in the laughs now I’m assuming you’ve already got your server set up at this point if you don’t there is a link in the description down below so with the at the top of your screen that shows you how to set up a paper server in order to

Do this now you will need a server with plugins on it either spigot or paper or bucket in order to allow this to happen so you a bucket spigot or paper server in order to allow this right and in order for it to work once you do we can

Go ahead and install it but before we do that we need to go ahead and show you that I can’t join this server this server right here it’s a one dot 12.2 paper server we can’t join it off of minecraft 1.14 dot for so we’re latest release one dot

14.4 if we click play’ right i’m gonna join off of my local IP address this is not gonna work it’s gonna you know say it’s an updated version it’s gonna work i’m gonna show you here just to prove that it’s not working then once we

Install PDF arjun it is going to work so let’s go ahead and just prove this real quick I always like to you know just back it up that way you all know that I’m not trying to mess with you or anything so if we go in here at the

Right connect we can then go ahead and type in 192.168.1.1 basically just my local IP address but if we click join server it’s gonna say connecting but it’s an outdated server it’s still a 1 dot 12.2 and while it is sad there are many reasons you might want to want a

1.8 or a 1.12 or that’s it really we’re not 8 or 1 not 12 you shouldn’t be running like a 111 server doesn’t make any sense but anyway let’s go ahead and go back to the server list here we’re just gonna leave this up but wait what

Does that plate up break down crap copy yeah best minecraft server in the multiverse that’s all I’m gonna say come play with us IPS in the description but nevertheless let’s go ahead and install via version so to do that we’re gonna stop our server here so we’re gonna type

Over here at COP stop the server close out of everything pressing any key to continue and then we’re just gonna drag and drop via version into the plugins tab then we’re gonna go back start the server right like so and the immersion is going to generate like it’s

Configuration files and things like that how do I will say this you don’t really need them you don’t really ever need to edit this much I will show you some settings that you can’t change but overall you don’t need them so as you can see if you have urchin is detected

Server 1.12 dot 2 that means it’s going to allow other server so if we come in here direct-connect remember we couldn’t connect it a few seconds ago but now we click join server and we’ll go ahead and let us right on in to the server in

Minecraft 1.14 dot 4 so as you can see minecraft 1.14 dot 4 it’s joined in via version did detect 1.12 dot 2 and I think what up here we’ll be able to see let’s see here paper 1 dot 12.2 of a version there so that is awesome you can even see a

Via version is mapping items so when it’s doing this mapping it’s saying ok one dot 12.2 two 1.13 when two 13.2 two 1.14 so it’s going through both of those steps in order to allow all these clients to join is that nevertheless once we’ve done that we can now go ahead

And look at these convict files but that’s it basically most of the time that’s all you’ll ever need to do just drop the a version into your plugins down and it’s done it is that simple very very easy plugin but I always do like to go over the contract files you

Will notice that sometimes you have fences that don’t connect right and things like that and that can actually be a fixed here so if we come in here you can see check for updates whether you want to be notified of updates it’s in supported versions don’t do that

Basically all of this right here you want to just like leave it alone all of this the global packet limiter you want to leave that alone – it can’t be something that’s useful if like you know you have a lot of anti-cheat of people like trying to hyper click on your

Server it can’t prevent that but overall I wouldn’t I wouldn’t do it there’s no real reason for it now as you can see if you want to suppress the 1.13 conversion airs every time you start up there will be some errors with 1.13 conversions if you’re running a 113th server and that’s

Not really needed do you want to disable autocomplete yes or no these are things that could actually be useful here now one of the things that I want to talk about is this server side to block connections so let’s see if I can replicate it if we come over here and I

Go into creative which means I’m gonna have to off myself real quick let me op myself boom and then let’s go ahead and do a game-mode creative you’ll notice that these are not connecting right so if we come in here to a fence alright there we go finally we can do this now

If you notice this if they aren’t connecting correctly see that and see the other isn’t messed up they’re not connecting correctly so if we go ahead and turn on the server side block connections to true now this is gonna use a bit more resources on your server

But overall not bad there and then you come down here and if you’re running a 1.8 server there are additional configurations for you but as you can see we’ve just changed that server side block connections look through all this there might be some 1.13 or 1.14 things

You want to turn off the overall we’re just going to change that server side block connections and then I’m gonna stop the server I’m gonna restart the server just so you all can see that that is now fixed right that that did fix that connection it was a big complaint of the aversion

You know that when 113 came out that wasn’t that was fixed right and then when it was fixed it was huge but it was kind of under mentioned right he was mentioned one time in an update notes was talked about in their discord son but overall I wasn’t mentioned well oh I

Accidentally joined breakdown craft force of habit all right Direct Connect joint server though really was a force happened I wouldn’t even trying to do a promo there I just there was I was just an accident none of us be joining as you can see these are now all connected we can place

New ones and they are all connected and we are good to go we can even do version here and see that this is a paper mc1 12.2 server but we are running on 114 so there you go that’s how you can have people join your minecraft server

If you’re running a one dot 12.2 server lying they’re gonna join up the latest version this is very important incredibly important if we go to break down craft right now it’s actually very interesting so we can go to break down craft our survival server that I’m going

Into you this is our aquatic survival server here if I do slash be a version and then do list right so slash via version list here it will go ahead and show us where everyone is playing this isn’t one dot 13.2 server right 1.30 not to only ten people are playing on one

13.2 whereas thirty-eight people are planning on one dot 14.4 yeah ten people versus thirty eight even though this is a I do slash version here a one dot 13.2 minecraft server as you can see this server is running paper 1.13 dot two so then you guys have it that is how quick

Indie or that is how quick and easy bein is and we want to look at commands there isn’t really that many there’s that such would be a virgin list man but it’s just kind of useful information there’s nothing really crazy there but if we do

A slash and the version here we can see all the different commands the PPS command can be good for caching changers for basically that’s packets per second and if someone is sitting a lot of packets per second they’re probably doing something not good auto teaming isn’t really something gonna have to

Worry about alpha 1.8 but if you do click it there you can see it will no longer accept all the teams however I would just recommend kind of leaving that on most of the time and then don’t bug me turns off the update notes dump allows you to basically dump the plug-in

If there’s having errors and that’s about it there’s a help that goes through everything there as you can see so yeah that is that thing you also so much for watching enjoy the aversion and enjoy allowing people on any version of Minecraft to join your minecraft server speaking of a
