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.
| Minecraft Version | Protocol |
|---|---|
| 26.40-26.44 | 2168 |
| 26.45 | 2169 |
| 26.5x | 2192 |
Since 0.5.0, packet translation has moved from Python into a C++ engine compiled from bedrock-protocol.
Time Endweave spends on each packet:
| Packet | 0.4.0 | 0.5.0 | Speedup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unchanged, 16 B | 1.2 µs | 0.36 µs | 3.4× |
| Unchanged, 64 KB chunk | 5.9 µs | 0.37 µs | 16× |
| Small translated packet | 3.4–7.3 µs | 1.0–1.4 µs | ~4× |
| SetActorData, 32 entries | 67 µs | 5.4 µs | 12× |
| SetActorData, 256 entries | 490 µs | 35 µs | 14× |

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