Welcome to the ViaBackwards wiki!

There's only one configurable thing of interest for ViaBackwards, so here it is.

Changing block/item/sound mappings

Open the ViaBackwards jar file with WinRAR (or any similar unpacking software), copy out the mapping file of interest out of assets/viabackwards/data/ into the plugin's configuration folder, and edit away!

Example: If you want to change the mapping of the 1.16 soul soil block, copy out the mapping-1.15to1.16.json file into the plugin folder, change whatever is in the "minecraft:soul_soil": line in the blockstates section (as well as the items section somewhere at the bottom of the file) and restart your server.

Changing >1.16->1.15 biome mappings

Similar to the mappings from above, you can move the biome-mappings.json file into the plugin folder and add mappings for custom biomes to map them to legacy biomes (the static biome names that existed until 1.15.2). Make sure to keep the file up to date with ViaBackwards updates.
