1.7 PvP mechanics on 1.8?

[iVersion]

Hello,

So for many people in the PvP community 1.8/1.9 isn't favorited. So switching to 1.8/1.9 and trying to maintain a competitive pvp experience will be extremely hard. Instead server owners are looking for things to make a server 1.7 based whilst supporting 1.8/1.9/1.10. Servers such as Badlion and McGamer do this. Yes I know, they have the fairly large budget and custom, blah blah blah. Although I've seen some smaller servers with this same thing. I was wondering if anyone knew any plugins or forks that would help me achieve of this.

What I know:
ViaVersion - Allows 1.9/1.10 clients on your 1.8 server
Carbon - Adds 1.8 blocks on your 1.7 server
HexagonMc - Bungeecord that supports 1.7/1.8/1.9/1.10

I know this is a fairly generic question, although other people that have asked it seem to never research or they just say solved without posting any type of solution. Anyways, thanks for reading and potentially helping.

PS: Whenever I find the solution I will make sure to comment it on this post so if your curious like me you will have your answer.

LabbyMod, But you can't force it on all users

I've heard and used it before. Preferably I'd like it server-side and not client side. Requiring members to download whatever just to play can be a bit much.

Protocolsupport is for A 1.10 Server and it allows 1.7/1.8/1.9/1.10 clients to connect

Use the spigot that is 1.7.10 and supports 1.8

impossible

It's clearly not impossible. Do you mean with public plugins?

Protocolsupport is for A 1.10 Server and it allows 1.7/1.8/1.9/1.10 clients to connect

Oh, alright. Would you know a 1.10 plugin that reverts pvp mechanics to 1.7?

Use the spigot that is 1.7.10 and supports 1.8

That's what I've been using although 1.8 has many opportunities I'd like to use.

how is a seever plugin meant to change a client side issue lmao

It's not a client side issue. It's simply allowing support for other clients. Plugins like ViaVersion & ProtocolSupport allow this although I want to take it a step further and revert the pvp mechanics. It's been done before although I don't believe it was ever publically released.

By this you mean the hit detection, hit rate, and knockback right?

Yes, exactly.

 

[Bryce]

Yes, exactly.

Well, I did accomplish this, kinda sorta.

We ran a 1.8 server, with the protocol hack, then I put together a hitfix plugin that constantly corrects the hits per tick a player can use, knockback strengths, and damage. So basically, everyone can join up to 1.8.9, maybe 1.9 and all the pvp is 1.7.10 for all clients that arent 1.7.10

That sounds perfect. Mind sharing configs/links?

Ehh, it was a custom plugin I had made for Rhythm, which we then sold to CurseCraft. Thats the only place the plugin has gone.
