VIAaaS - ViaVersion ~~acetylsalicylic acid~~ as a Service - Standalone ViaVersion proxy
|
|
|
|
Public instances: https://github.com/ViaVersion/VIAaaS/wiki/List-of-Public-Instances
|
|
|
|
Discord: https://viaversion.com/discord

Version translation:

|
## How does it work?
|
|
- [ViaVersion](https://viaversion.com), [ViaBackwards](https://viaversion.com/backwards) and [ViaRewind](https://viaversion.com/rewind) translates the connections to backend server.
|
|
- VIAaaS auth page stores account credentials in the player's browser local storage. Check for XSS vulnerabilities on your domain.
|
|
- Due to technical/security reasons, it requires a CORS Proxy for calling Mojang APIs, which may make Mojang see that
|
|
as suspicious and reset/block your account password if the IP address seems suspect.
|
|
- Account credentials aren't sent to VIAaaS instance, though it's intermediated by CORS Proxy.
|
|
- VIAaaS receives a session hash from instance and then authenticates the session hash with Mojang.
|
|

|
## Setting up server instance
|
|
Download: [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/ViaVersion/VIAaaS/actions) (needs to be logged into GitHub) or [JitPack](https://jitpack.io/com/github/viaversion/viaaas/master-SNAPSHOT/viaaas-master-SNAPSHOT-all.jar)
|
|
|
|
How to start VIAaaS server:
|
|
```sh
|
|
java -jar VIAaaS-all.jar
|
|
```
|
|
- Requires Java 11
|
|
- Default Minecraft: ```viaaas.localhost``` with port 25565
|
|
- Default WS URL: ```wss://localhost:25543/ws```
|
|
|
|
## CORS Proxy
|
|
- For less chance of Mojang seeing the login as suspect, you (the player) should set up a CORS proxy on your machine.
|
|
- Note the ending slash in cors-anywhere address
|
|
- You can use my public instance at https://crp123-cors.herokuapp.com/ ([source](https://github.com/creeper123123321/cors-anywhere/)) too,
|
|
but proxies have a bit more chance of being seen as suspect.
|
|
|
|
Setting up [cors-anywhere](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cors-anywhere) on local machine:
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere
|
|
cd cors-anywhere
|
|
npm install
|
|
node server.js
|
|
```
|
|
- It will be available at ```http://localhost:8080/```
|
|
|
|
## Usage for players
|
|
Usage for offline mode:
|
|
- Connect to ```mc.example.com.viaaas.localhost```
|
|
|
|
Usage for online mode:
|
|
- You can use two accounts (avoids Bad Login error), the same account for front-end and back-end connections, or use ```_of```
|
|
(offline mode in frontend, unencrypted and with no username verification. May be useful if you have a client which is incompatible with online mode).
|
|
- Go to [VIAaaS auth webpage](https://localhost:25543/)
|
|
- Configure CORS proxy, see above in "CORS Proxy" section
|
|
- Listen to the username A you'll use to connect to the proxy.
|
|
- Keep the page open
|
|
- Add the account B to VIAaaS page which you'll use in ```_u(account B)``` parameter below.
|
|
- Connect to ```mc.example.com._u(account B).viaaas.localhost``` (```_u``` parameter can be removed if you are using the same username)
|
|
- Approve the login in auth webpage
|
|
- If you use the same online mode account, your client may show Bad Login. You can use a mod like
|
|
[Auth Me](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/auth-me) or [ReAuth](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/reauth) for reauthenticating the client.
|
|
|
|
Example address: ```server.example.com._p25565._v1_12_2._of._uBACKUSERNAME.viaaas.example.com``` (similar to [Tor2web](https://www.tor2web.org/) proxies)
|
|
|
|
Address parts:
|
|
- ```server.example.com```: backend server address
|
|
- ```_p```: backend port
|
|
- ```_v```: backend version ([protocol id](https://wiki.vg/Protocol_version_numbers) or name with underline instead of dots). ```AUTO``` is default and ``-1`` is fallback if it fails.
|
|
- ```_o```: ```t``` to force online mode in frontend, ```f``` to disable online mode in frontend. If not set, it will be based on backend online mode.
|
|
- ```_u```: username to use in backend connection
|
|
- ```viaaas.example.com```: hostname suffix (defined in config)
|
|
|
|
## WARNING
|
|
- VIAaaS may trigger anti-cheats, due to block, item, movement and other differences between versions. USE AT OWN RISK
|
|
- VIAaaS server instance may have security vulnerabilities, make sure to block the ports in firewall
|
|
- Take care of browser local storage. Check for XSS vulnerabilities on your domain.
|
|
- Check the security of CORS proxy, it will intermediate Mojang API calls.
|
|
- Mojang may lock your account when API is called from a suspect IP address
|
|
|
|
## FAQ
|
|
My Microsoft account <18 years old is not able to log in, it's giving XSTS error:
|
|
- Add your account to a family (see https://wiki.vg/Microsoft_Authentication_Scheme#Authenticate_with_XSTS)
|
|
|
|
Why a online webpage for online mode?:
|
|
- It's easier to maintain in that way, because providing a chat with login requires encoding and decoding more packets which change through versions.
|
|
- It allows your account password and token to be kept with you
|
|
|
|
How to use IPv6?:
|
|
- When listening to 0.0.0.0, it should listen on IPv6 too.
|
|
- To use IPv6 in backend address, you need to use a instance with IPv6 connectivity. The hostname parser currently doesn't support
|
|
direct IPv6, but you can use a DNS name with https://sslip.io/
|
|
|
|
I'm getting a DNS error/"Unknown host" while connecting to (...).localhost
|
|
- Try configuring via-127-0-0-1.nip.io as hostname suffix
|
|
|
|
How to use with Geyser?
|
|
- Currently you need to set the parameters (at least the hostname) in Geyser's `address` field:
|
|
```yml
|
|
remote:
|
|
# The IP address of the remote (Java Edition) server
|
|
address: 2b2t.org._v1_12_2.viaaas.localhost
|
|
```
|
|
- If you are using a public GeyserConnect instance: connect to a publicly available VIAaaS instance, like ```mc.example.com.viaaas.example.net``` as a Java Edition server.
|
|
|
|
How to connect to 1.7.10 and lower servers with a newer client?
|
|
- Use [DirtMultiVersion](https://github.com/DirtPowered/DirtMultiversion)
|
|
|
|
Can I use it to connect to .onion Minecraft hidden servers?
|
|
- You can use .onion addresses if the instance is proxying the backend connections to TOR.
|
|
Note that VIAaaS may log your requests. |
