## 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.
|
|
- It requires a CORS Proxy for calling Mojang APIs.
|
|
- Account credentials aren't sent to VIAaaS instance by default.
|
|
- The web page receives and validates the joinGame's session hash from VIAaaS instance.
|
|
|
|
## 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 download and start VIAaaS server:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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 11
|
|
- Default Minecraft: ```via.localhost``` with port 25565
|
|
- Default HTTPS: ```https://localhost:25543/```
|
|
- Default WS URL: ```wss://localhost:25543/ws```
|
|
|
|
### 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](https://httpd.apache.org/) (with
|
|
a [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) certificate).
|
|
|
|
## CORS Proxy
|
|
|
|
- Due to Mojang API not allowing cross-origin requests, we need to use a CORS proxy
|
|
- Note the ending slash in cors-anywhere address
|
|
|
|
## 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](https://github.com/RaphiMC/OpenAuthMod) in your client.
|
|
- Join the server: ```mc.example.net.via.localhost```
|
|
- Approve the login
|
|
|
|
### Address options
|
|
|
|
#### Example address:
|
|
|
|
- ```server.example.net._p25565._v1_12_2._of._uBACKUSERNAME.via.example.com```
|
|
- ```server.example.net.v_1_8.via.example.com```
|
|
- It's inspired by [Tor2web](https://www.tor2web.org/) proxies.
|
|
|
|
#### Address parts:
|
|
|
|
- You can use ``(option)_(value)`` too, like ``p_25565``.
|
|
- ```server.example.net```: backend server address
|
|
- ```_p```: backend port
|
|
- ```_v```: backend version ([protocol id](https://wiki.vg/Protocol_version_numbers) or name, replace ``.`` with ``_``)
|
|
. ```AUTO``` is default (with 1.8 as fallback).
|
|
- ```_o```: ```true``` to force online mode in frontend, ```false``` to force offline mode in frontend. If not set, it
|
|
will be based on backend online mode.
|
|
- ```_u```: username to use in backend connection (default is front-end username)
|
|
- ```via.example.com```: instance address (defined in config)
|
|
|
|
## 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](https://wiki.vg/Microsoft_Authentication_Scheme#Microsoft_OAuth_Flow) 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:
|
|
```yml
|
|
remote:
|
|
# The IP address of the remote (Java Edition) server
|
|
address: 2b2t.org._v1_12_2.via.localhost
|
|
```
|
|
- If you are using a public GeyserConnect instance: connect to a publicly available VIAaaS instance,
|
|
like ```mc.example.com._v1_8.via.example.net``` as a Java Edition server.
|
|
|
|
#### 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, and that your DNS queries may be sent unencrypted.
|
|
|
|
#### Can you support more versions / Is there some alternative?
|
|
|
|
- See [DirtMultiVersion](https://github.com/DirtPowered/DirtMultiversion) and [ViaProxy](https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaProxy)
|
|
|
|
#### Can I customize the files of HTTP server?
|
|
|
|
- Add files to ``config/web/`` directory
|
