# ViaVersion

**Allows the connection of higher client versions to lower server versions -
it works on any platform you can think of.**
The base ViaVersion jar runs on Paper and Velocity. We also have projects integrating ViaVersion to run
on Fabric, Forge, Bungee, Sponge, or as a standalone proxy to join from basically any client version on
any server version from the past decade. **See [HERE](https://github.com/ViaVersion) for an overview of the different Via\* projects.**
Note that ViaVersion will be able to **run best on either Paper servers or Fabric clients** due to having
direct access to client/server state and more extensive API.
