**Minecraft 26.3 support!** ⚠️ This release marks the first version compatible with Minecraft and Fabric 26.3. Please be aware that it may contain bugs; if you encounter any new issues, report them on the issue tracker. Exercise caution on servers with strict anti-cheat systems. ⚠️ Please also read the **[5.0.2 changelog](https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaFabricPlus/releases/tag/5.0.2)**. Your support means a lot!

**Support for Minecraft 26.3 Servers!** **Bedrock Edition support** To use Bedrock edition, install the [ViaFabricPlus Bedrock Edition addon](https://github.com/florianreuth/viafabricplus-bedrock), which restores support for Bedrock Edition that was removed in the 5.0.0 release. **Other changes** * Fixed consumable item component hashing in versions **1.21.2 and earlier**. * Fixed a regression causing chunk (and thus movement) issues on servers between versions **1.17 and 1.8**. * Fixed various wrong default values caused by the settings rewrite in 5.0.0. * Fixed some incompatibilites with mods accessing the ViaFabricPlus limitations API. Please also read the **[5.0.1 changelog](https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaFabricPlus/releases/tag/5.0.1)**. Your support means a lot!

**Bedrock Edition support** This release is required to use the [ViaFabricPlus Bedrock Edition addon](https://github.com/florianreuth/viafabricplus-bedrock), which restores support for Bedrock Edition that was removed in the 5.0.0 release. **Other changes** * Fixed the BetaCraft server list refresh button not working. Please also read the **[5.0.0 changelog](https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaFabricPlus/releases/tag/5.0.0)**. Your support means a lot!

**User-Relevant Changes** * **New user interface** * All screens have been rewritten. The version list now groups versions into the tabs `Modern`, `Legacy`, `Beta`, `Alpha`, `Classic` and `April Fools`, opening on the tab of the currently selected version. * Every entry shows an icon, its update name, and its release date. * Version lists, settings, and server lists now have a search bar, with version search also matching versions within a range.  * **Bedrock Edition support removed** Support for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition has been removed entirely, including Bedrock Realms. The maintainership of the underlying [ViaBedrock](https://github.com/RaphiMC/ViaBedrock) component has changed, making future updates unreliable, and the integration had seen almost no new features beyond game updates for months. As a result, the jar size has been reduced by over 10 MB. Bedrock support will eventually be moved to [ViaFabricPlus Bedrock](https://github.com/florianreuth/viafabricplus-bedrock), a separate Fabric addon mod. * **Settings** * The `authentication` group has been merged into `general`, `debug` has been renamed to `advanced`, and `bedrock` has been removed. * Everything beyond basic gameplay emulation has been dropped. For in-depth visual changes, we recommend a dedicated mod such as [Animatium](https://modrinth.com/mod/animatium) instead. * Removed settings include `Verify session for online mode servers`, `Automatically select CPE when using the ClassiCube server list`, `Set session name to ClassiCube name`, `Show classic loading progress in connect screen`, `Experimental block connections`, `Emulate inventory actions in alpha versions`, `Save scroll position in slot screens`, `Execute inputs synchronously`, `Legacy tab completions`, `Emulate armor HUD`, `Always tick client player`, `Serverside block/item place sounds`, `Hide modern command block screen features`, `Hide modern Jigsaw screen features` and most purely cosmetic visual toggles. * **Other** * Fixed ClassiCube authentication not being completed before joining a server. * Preserve legacy world clocks in versions **1.21.11 and earlier**. * Fixed ViaVersion's `hide-scoreboard-numbers` config option to only work for sidebar scoreboards. * Fixed errors caused by invalid stats in versions **1.11 and earlier**. * Updated various translations. **Technical Changes** * **Redesigned API** * The API instance is now accessed via `ViaFabricPlus#api`, which returns a `ViaFabricPlusAPI` interface. It is split into the sub-APIs `protocolTranslation`, `conversions`, `limitations`, `screens` and `settings` instead of one large interface full of static helpers. * `ViaFabricPlus#getImpl` and `ViaFabricPlusBase` are deprecated for removal. Every method forwards to its replacement, so migrating is simply a matter of renaming. * `LoadingCycleCallback` and `ChangeProtocolVersionCallback` have been replaced by the `ViaFabricPlusEntrypoint` interface and `addChangeProtocolVersionListener`. * Settings have moved to `api.settings.base` and are registered through their group. `ModeSetting` has been replaced by `EnumSetting`. * Refer to the [updated development documentation](https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaFabricPlus/blob/main/docs/DEVELOPER_API.md) for more information. > An example of how to include the API while still being able to run the mod: > > ```groovy > compileOnly "com.viaversion:viafabricplus-api:5.0.0" > runtimeOnly "com.viaversion:viafabricplus:5.0.0" > ``` * **Removed submodule** The `viafabricplus-visuals` module has been merged back into the core mod. Most of its visual changes that went beyond “basic gameplay functionality” have been removed. **GitHub Repository Changes** * **Organized patches by version** Feature mixins are now categorized by the version range they apply to (`features/v1_8`, `features/v1_10`, ...) instead of by feature name, making it obvious which versions a workaround belongs to. Refer to the [updated maintenance documentation](https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaFabricPlus/blob/main/docs/MAINTAINING.md) for further details. **Translation contributors** A list of all translators can be found here: https://crowdin.com/project/viafabricplus/activity-stream Please also read the **[4.6.3 changelog](https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaFabricPlus/releases/tag/4.6.3)**.
