# Minecraft versions compatibility

## If your server has ViaVersion

{% hint style="info" %}

### This is important to optimize the plugin if your server accepts only some Minecraft versions.

\
ScratchIt must create different optimized map images because all Minecraft versions have different colors support, you can disable some to speedup the plugin startup process.
{% endhint %}

If you're using ViaVersion to allow multiple clients to connect to your server you have to make sure to check these options in `config.yml`

```yaml
graphics:
  viaversion:
    v1_8: true
    v1_12: true
    v1_16: true
```

* Set `v1_8` to **true** if your server accepts 1.8 to 1.11 clients
* Set `v1_12` to **true** if your server accepts 1.12 to 1.15 clients
* Set `v1_16` to **true** if your server accepts 1.16+ clients
