She plays bedrock edition on her iPad. MacOS only supports Java edition. You need something like Geyser to play together or use software like Parallels to install windows on your Mac so you can play bedrock.

- Help with via version
-
hello in aternos if there is a plugin that work like viaversion but downgrade the server for example the server is 1.18 but my friends cant support it I know they are other servers that have this plugin does anyone know the name I hope this makes sense
then you should use ViaBackwards in combination with ViaVersion.

I use velociity and purple 1.19 and love viaversion but those who enter with 1.18.1 cannot connect

Render Distance: CPU Or RAM?
Also, consider using one of the Paper forks that includes further performance improvements. For 1.18.2 two options are Pufferfish and Purpur. Pufferfish has a lot of optimizations, but now Purpur actually downstreams Pufferfish too so it includes all of its improvements (plus a ton of other features which are optional and turned off by default). Purpur as far as I can tell is currently the most complete Paper fork, the only downside in my opinion is that they only support the latest versions of Minecraft. Previous Purpur versions have not been patched for Log4Shell. Since you are running 1.18.2, this shouldn't be a problem, but keep this in mind for the future - if using Purpur you'll want to update soon after a new server version releases to continue getting support, or switch to another Paper fork (which shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't use any of the optional Purpur features). I personally prefer just using the latest version anyway though, and then I use ViaVersion plus ViaBackwards to support older clients.

I'm having an issue with placing blocks on my 1.18 server. They'll appear placed until I relog. My tps is consistently 20 though, and my server is only using about 25% of its RAM. Why is this happening? Not having any other kinds of lag issues.
Probably not your issue, but just because I heard of it, there's an issue with the inventory desyncing if using ViaBackwards.
