**This Minecraft pack enhances the gameplay experience with the ViaBackwards plugin**, which allows players to connect to newer servers with an older client. Rebuilt from the ground up for modern Minecraft, this pack requires **absolutely no mods** to work! It uses native vanilla features to identify future items by their component data and assigns the correct model and texture to them (officially supporting **1.21.4 through 1.21.11+**). The best part of this pack is that if you put another resource pack on top of it, it will load the textures from that (make sure to place this pack at the bottom)!

This native vanilla approach is only possible because of engine changes introduced recently. **If you are looking to support clients older than 1.21.4**, you will need to use **Version 1** of this pack.

<p>For example, when you join a 1.21.11 server using a 1.21.5 client, the server translates a new item (like a Copper Spear) into an item your client understands (like an Iron Sword) and attaches hidden component data to it. Our pack intercepts that specific data and says: <em>"Hey, this isn't actually an iron sword, render the Copper Spear model instead!"</em></p>

**This is the ultimate ViaBackwards server-side resource pack.** Because it no longer requires players to download third-party mods like Chime or Optifine, you can safely integrate this resource pack directly in your `server.properties`. When legacy players join your modern server, they'll automatically download the pack and immediately see the correct future items in their GUI!
