Release
5.7.0

kennytv released ViaVersion version 5.7.0 on December 29, 2025

A bunch of config changes and a few fixes!

  • Moved and renamed logging related config options under a new logging section
    • Added max-error-length to reduce or increase information in ViaVersion errors
    • Includes log-blocked-joins, log-entity-data-errors, log-text-component-conversion-errors, log-other-conversion-warnings and max-error-length
    • log-text-component-conversion-errors and log-other-conversion-warnings have been disabled by default and will not be migrated from their previous values
  • packet-limiter config options will be automigrated to higher values if you still had lower defaults from previous versions
  • Added migrate-default-config-changes config option to allow disabling such migration of defaults (though we highly recommend keeping this enabled unless you go through every changelog and manually adapt your config with changes)
  • Fixed packet limiter tracking if packet size tracking was disabled (by EnZaXD)
  • Fixed errors when loading config files with poorly auto-placed line breaks
  • Fixed occasional item desyncs in merchant inventories in 1.21.5+
  • Fixed world border lerping in 1.21.9->1.21.11 (by MrKinau)
  • Fixed atlas sprite paths paths in 1.21.9->1.21.11
  • Fixed dripstone lava particles in 1.21.9->1.21.11 (by riku6460)
  • Fixed error if a creative client tried interacting with a spear ghost item in 1.21.9->1.21.11 (by booky10)
  • Fixed handling of block_state_property enchantment terms in custom enchantments
  • Fixed mossy wall block connections in 1.12->1.13 (by lowercasebtw)
  • Added use-1_8-hitbox-margin config option to use new 1.21.11 item components for weapon hitbox changes (enabled by default, by roccodev)
  • Added step height and interaction range entity attributes for 1.20.5+ clients on 1.8 servers (by RK_01)
  • Fixed lit_furnace item display in 1.8->1.9 (by EnZaXD)
