As a plugin, ViaBackwards runs on servers on releases 1.10-latest. Versions from the dev branch will also support the latest snapshot. You can also use ViaBackwards in ViaFabric or ViaFabricPlus.
See HERE for an overview of the different Via* projects.
You can find releases in the following places:

- Modrinth (for our mods): https://modrinth.com/mod/viabackwards
- GitHub: https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaBackwards/releases
Dev builds for all of our projects are on our Jenkins server:
- 1.17+ min_y and height world values that are not 0/256 are not supported. Clients older than 1.17 will not be able to see or interact with blocks below y=0 and above y=255
- <1.17 clients on 1.17+ servers might experience inventory desyncs on certain inventory click actions
- Sound mappings are incomplete (see here)
- <1.19.4 clients on 1.20+ servers won't be able to use the smithing table, this can be fixed by installing AxSmithing
