This mod implements ViaVersion on Fabric servers and clients, allowing you to connect to different Minecraft versions. For more information, go to GitHub repository (https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaFabric).
What's is the difference between ViaFabric and multiconnect (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/multiconnect)?
- ViaFabric doesn't aim to modify client-side deeply, it aims to simply implement ViaVersion (designed for vanilla servers) and works by "proxying" and translating the networking protocol. So you'll still have 1.13 swimming in <1.12 servers.
- ViaFabric can run on servers, while multiconnect can't.
- ViaFabric is maintained for older Fabric versions like Minecraft 1.8.9, 1.14 and 1.15, while multiconnect isn't.
- multiconnect modifies client-side code, so you can play with things like 1.12 swimming.
- You can use both mods in your client.
- ViaVersion and multiconnect are both designed by chaining translations, but some ViaVersion code can be heavier.

If the server has bungee and for example bungee supports 1.16.3 and 1.16.4 but the 2 server only supports 1.16.3 should i be able to join it when i am on 1.16.4.
As when tested it failed to do so.

You shouldn't.
If I set the protocol version to the one matching the client, is the mod completely disabled or does it still do anything?
In reply to robotkoer:
It isn't completely disabled (some protocol transformation code is still ran while handshaking/pinging), but it won't translate anything after client handshake.
In reply to creeper12312332:
But the "enable client-side" button toggles the whole mod, right?
In reply to robotkoer:
When client-side mode is disabled, it should disable cross-version translations on client connections, though server-side (when opening the world to lan or running in a server) is always enabled
What’s the [UNKOWN] textbox in the config screen?

A selector for minecraft protocol version
ViaFabric and Borderless Mining seem to have a weird conflict when in fullscreen mode. When the two mods are in place the screen flashes then gets offset like ViaFabric is trying to center the window while loading. This results in not being able to click on buttons once loaded as borderless mining has now made the normal fullscreen "Windowed" borderless instead. multiconnect does not have this issue nor does any other mods that I have setup. The weird offset only happens when ViaFabric is enabled and loading.
Mods: Borderless Mining 1.0.6 and ViaFabric 0.2.13 Build 477.1
I can give the full mods list if needed. The big mod that affects rendering is OptiFabric/OptiFine.
In reply to Shinji257:
I'm also using ViaFabric and Borderless Mining together, and this problem doesn't always happen to me, but when it does, I just exit and reenter fullscreen mode and it will be fixed. It might be annoying to have to do that every time the problem happens, but it doesn't always happen to me, so I don't mind.
In reply to cs127:
My issue is that my input is so far offset that I can't click any of the buttons to be able to do that.
In reply to Shinji257:
You can press F11 to exit and re-enter fullscreen mode. Though I'm not exactly sure if that'll fix the issue. It does fix it for me, but it might not work for you.
Also, do you have this problem every time you launch the game? Because it might be a different problem than mine. Mine does something similar to what you described, but not that frequently.
Nice mod ! Can I make an introduction to https://www.mcbbs.net/ ？I hope more Chinese player will use it! I will write your username and your curseforge website in the introduction!
In reply to marinamarissa:
Yep, you can do it. I would prefer if the mod file wasn't re-uploaded, but you can do it if you want (MIT).
I think Mod Menu support would be great, instead of the tacky boxes that are at the top that interfere with a lot of other mods.
In reply to MARXXH:
Done.
Are there advantages over multiconnect?
In reply to Navota:
It can be used server-side, it supports connecting to 1.8 and 1.9 servers too, it can be used on older versions. But it doesn't have some deep changes to client code nor it aims to, so 1.13 swimming won't be removed on outdated servers. You can use it too with multiconnect at same time in the client, this mod will try to make multiconnect translate most things.
In reply to Navota:
ViaFabric is better if you want to connect to very old minecraft versions; i tried to do that with multiconnect and i wasn't even able to join a 1.11 mc server...
In reply to Navota:
You can use multiconnect + ViaFabric too, ViaFabric will let multiconnect do the job when you connect to 1.10+ servers, and for 1.8/1.9 ViaFabric will replace multiconnect.
