endstone-endweave 0.4.0

Protocol translation plugin for Endstone - allows newer clients on older servers

Endweave

Seamlessly interweaving Bedrock protocol versions.

An Endstone plugin that lets Bedrock clients connect to servers with different protocol versions by rewriting packets at the network layer. Inspired by ViaVersion.

Supported Versions

Minecraft Version	Protocol

Quick Start

1. Download the latest .whl from Releases
2. Drop it in your server's plugins/ folder
3. Restart the server

Players on newer clients will connect transparently. No additional configuration needed.

How It Works

Endweave handles protocol differences between Minecraft versions, allowing players to join servers on different protocol versions. Whether a client is newer or older than the server, packets are translated in real time. Only fields that actually changed get rewritten, and players already on the server's version go through zero extra processing. When a client is multiple versions away from the server, translators are automatically chained together to bridge the gap.
