VIAaaS - ViaVersion as a Service - Standalone ViaVersion proxy
Address generator: https://jo0001.github.io/ViaSetup/aspirin
Public instances: https://github.com/ViaVersion/VIAaaS/wiki/List-of-Public-Instances
Videos
Offline mode tutorial: https://youtu.be/lPdELnrxmp0
How does it work?
- ViaVersion, ViaBackwards and ViaRewind translates the connections to backend server.
- VIAaaS auth page stores account credentials in the player's browser local storage.
- It uses a CORS Proxy for calling Mojang APIs.
- Account credentials aren't sent to VIAaaS instance by default.
- The web page receives and validates the join game request from VIAaaS instance.
Setting up server instance
Download: GitHub Actions (needs to be logged into GitHub) or JitPack
How to download and start VIAaaS server:
curl -Lf --output VIAaaS-all.jar "https://jitpack.io/com/github/ViaVersion/VIAaaS/master-SNAPSHOT/VIAaaS-master-SNAPSHOT-all.jar"
java -jar VIAaaS-all.jar
- Requires Java 17
- Default Minecraft:
via.localhost
with port 25565 - Default HTTPS:
https://localhost:25543/
How to create a public server
- You need a DNS wildcard pointing to VIAaaS instance, like
*.example.com -> 192.168.123.123
. - Configure the hostname in the config
- Open the Minecraft port (25565)
- The HTTPS page needs a valid SSL certificate, you can use a reverse proxy like Apache (with a Let's Encrypt certificate).
Usage for players
You'll need to specify which server you want to connect through address parameters
added as prefix in via.localhost
or via web page (default https://localhost:25543/).
Offline mode:
- Connect to
mc.example.net.via.localhost
Online mode:
Web login:
- Go to VIAaaS auth webpage (default is https://localhost:25543/)
- Listen to the username A (you'll use it to connect to the VIAaaS instance).
- Add the account B (you'll use it in backend server).
- Keep the page open
- Connect with your account A to
mc.example.com._u(account B).via.localhost
- Approve the login in the webpage
Web login via token caching:
- Open the web page and save your account in your browser
- Send your access token to the instance. After that you can close the page.
- Connect to
mc.example.com.via.localhost
with the account you sent the token.
Fabric/Forge client:
- Install OpenAuthMod in your client.
- Join the server:
mc.example.net.via.localhost
- Approve the login

WARNING
- VIAaaS may trigger anti-cheats, due to block, item, movement and other differences between versions. USE AT OWN RISK.
- Take care of browser local storage. Check for XSS vulnerabilities on your domain.
- Check the security of CORS proxy, it will be used for calling to Mojang API.
FAQ
Accounts
Why to use an online webpage for online mode?:
- It's easier to maintain in that way, because providing login via chat requires encoding and decoding more packets, which reduces maintainability.
- It allows your account password and token to be kept with you.
How to use Microsoft Account?:
- If you're an administrator of the instance, edit
config/web/js/config.js
(default is in the jar) and configure your Azure Client ID and your domain whitelist.
Connection
How to use IPv6?:
- 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 via.localhost
- Try configuring
via.localho.st
as hostname suffix instead
How to use with Geyser?
- Set the parameters in Geyser's
address
field:remote: # The IP address of the remote (Java Edition) server address: 2b2t.org._v1_12_2.via.localhost
- If you are using GeyserConnect: connect to a publicly available VIAaaS instance,
like
mc.example.com._v1_8.via.example.net
as a Java Edition server.
Can you support more versions / Is there some alternative?
- See ViaProxy
Can I customize the files of HTTP server?
- Add files to
config/web/
directory
