Yes, they can. Minecraft's NBT system has evolved significantly over time, especially with the introduction of newer systems like components. Because of this, some items behave differently or are structured differently depending on the version.

To keep everything organized and compatible, we maintain separate archives:

archive_old for 1.20.4
archive for 1.21.4
archive_new for 1.21.11

This ensures you always get items that work correctly for the version you're using.
We have multiple testing servers ready for you!

This includes 2 free OP servers (just join and /op yourself) and 2 build servers.

You can switch between them instantly with the command /server.
