Cannot join 1.21.4 server due to "outdated client" (1.21.5 BEDROCK).

[tribal ledge]

Hello! I've updated my SMP server to 1.21.4 but my friends using Bedrock could not join the server even if they have the latest client update (1.21.5). Minehut keeps telling them that their client is outdated. I tried manually deleting and installing a new ViaVersion in the files, but Minehut installs one on its own so I had to delete the manually updated one anyway. Is there any fix to this? 🥺

EDIT: SOLVED !! Solution below.

I'm not 100% sure because other bedrock users can join fine

[tribal ledge]

Maybe their bedrock users haven't gotten the latest client update to 1.21.5, hence the use of ViaBackwards in their 1.21.4 servers.

[hot mulch]

I don’t think VB does anything to bedrock players

My friend has 1.21.5 and I can only make server 1.21.4 that far so this might be Y my friend no can join??

[hot mulch]

what

[tribal ledge]

I tried installing Via Backwards 5.2.0 (not the newest one) to be in sync with Minehut's Via Version 5.2.0 and it fixed the issue! It's super weird that 1.21.5 bedrock client is seen as outdated in a 1.21.4 server though haha.

tldr: VB 5.2.0 works

[tribal ledge]

if your friend has bedrock 1.21.5 and you're the server owner, add Via backwards 5.2.0 (not the 5.2.1) so they could join in

Minehut hasn't updated their via version to 5.2.1 yet

[kindred badger]

This is why I'd rather have minehut not have viaversion, and let the user install it themselves

Unless theres a g ood reason

[tribal ledge]

Same, I second this.

[kind elm]

Is this a mod I can find in the list of provided plugins for a minehut server?

[crude mountain]

it's a plugin yea download it from papermc or spigotmc or modrinth

[kind elm]

My friend got Java yay so my problems be solve. Thank guys!

[tribal ledge]

You're welcome!

[kindred badger]

Java is the better version. Try out modded mc soon

[crude mountain]

True

also if you trying out modded mc you need createmod

[kindred badger]

not everyone wants create

create is very complicated for beginners

FTB Academy is good

[crude mountain]

it really isn't

[kindred badger]

💀

Create is complicated because of overwhelming changes, also not every mc player is an engineer.
It is not recommended for a person who JUST got java

The amount of items would flood them with confusion

[kind elm]

I have never used mods in MC before. I love Java but I’m too dumb to add mods or know which how when

[kindred badger]

Curseforge

its the best for beginners

[kind elm]

Mkay

[crude mountain]

No it rlly isn't curseforge sucks

you're better off using modrinth multimc or smh like it

tbh for someone new just use vanilla launcher

[kindred badger]

vanilla launcher is way harder for people if they dont know how to use files

[kind elm]

I don kno how to use files

[kindred badger]

so curseforge it is

[crude mountain]

or multimc or smh

curseforge sucks period

[kindred badger]

They can worry about that later

[kind elm]

I’m worrying about it now 😛

[crude mountain]

Tbh use multimc it has support for modrinth cf all of it

for clean ui n maybe bit buggy use modrinth app

[kindred badger]

I mean its their choice

[kind elm]

I just want something that’s easy to use and also actually works please 😭

[kindred badger]

curseforge, then you can worry about other launchers when your intermediate in modding

@kind elm

[crude mountain]

^ (curseforge still sucks tho)

[kind elm]

😲 If it suck’s … did it at least work? And a noob like me can make it work ez!?

Ye , or doubt?

[kindred badger]

Yes it works

Its really easy to begin with

[crude mountain]

but it still sucks!

[kind elm]

Happy to hear the easy
I’ll try it (once minehut websites work again even tho they been down for 2.5 weeks)

[kindred badger]

We get it. You don't like it.
