Description

I spun up an instance of mc-router with docker compose and am having some trouble getting things to work with the beta version of the game. I was able to validate that everything works with the current version of Minecraft, but I'd like to get a server working with beta 1.7.3.

Any possibility of this working for older versions? See the error below.
