Frequently asked questions
How do I open the ViaFabricPlus settings menu?
Open the vanilla multiplayer server list screen and look for the ViaFabricPlus button in the corner, or check your mod menu entry for the mod's config screen. From there you can change the target version, Bedrock settings, and other options.
How do I change which Minecraft version I connect as?
Open the ViaFabricPlus settings and set the target version, then join the server — the mod translates your protocol on the fly. You can switch versions between joins without restarting the game, though you must be disconnected from a server to change it.
Why can't I join a server after changing the version?
Make sure you're not currently connected to a server when changing the target version, and confirm the version you picked actually matches what the server accepts. If it still fails, check the connection error guide, since some servers block certain client versions or require specific settings.
Does ViaFabricPlus let me join Bedrock servers from Java?
Yes, it includes Bedrock support so a Java client can connect to Bedrock servers, but you need to enable the Bedrock-related options in the settings first. Expect some differences in gameplay since the two editions aren't identical.
