1.20.5 server support; this one of the largest updates network-content wise, so expect rough edges that may not be entirely fixable. While ViaVersion is already complete and stable, ViaBackwards will still need more polishing around certain things like item hover events and trim pattern/material handling.
- Added a large number of sanity checks to NBT reading to prevent errors from bad data
- Fixed 1.20.3->1.20.2 cloud particle handling
- Fixed 1.20.2->1.20 entity sound handling
- Updated the legacy mapping file format (by EnZaXD). If you had changes to these, you will need to redo them, see the wiki for more detail later: https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaBackwards/wiki
Also thanks to EnZaXD for lots of aid with 1.20.5, as well as RK_01, DrexHD, and Gerrygames for additional fixes!
