# ViaAprilFools
ViaVersion addon to add support for some notable Minecraft snapshots.
ViaAprilFools is not usable by itself as a standalone software, as it is an addon for ViaVersion which adds more protocol translators.
ViaAprilFools is intended to be implemented in a ViaVersion based protocol translator.
If you are looking to implement ViaAprilFools in your own software you can start by reading the [Usage](#usage) section.
If you just want to use ViaAprilFools yourself you can check out some projects which implement it in the [Projects](#projects-implementing-viaaprilfools) section.

### Projects implementing ViaAprilFools
- [ViaProxy](https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaProxy): Standalone proxy which uses ViaVersion to translate between Minecraft versions. Allows Minecraft 1.7+ clients to join to any version server.
- [ViaFabricPlus](https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaFabricPlus): Fabric mod for the latest Minecraft version with QoL fixes and enhancements to the gameplay.
- [ViaAprilFoolsPaper](https://github.com/malloryhayr/ViaAprilFoolsPaper): Paper platform implementation for ViaAprilFools. Allows the list of above client versions to join your server.
## Releases
### Gradle/Maven
To use ViaAprilFools with Gradle/Maven you can use the ViaVersion maven server:
```groovy
repositories {
maven { url "https://repo.viaversion.com" }
}
dependencies {
implementation("net.raphimc:ViaAprilFools:2.0.9") // Get latest version from releases
}
```
```xml
viaversion
https://repo.viaversion.com
net.raphimc
ViaAprilFools
2.0.9
```
### Jar File
If you just want the latest jar file you can download it from this [Jenkins](https://ci.viaversion.com/view/All/job/ViaAprilFools/).
## Usage
ViaAprilFools requires you to have an already functional ViaVersion implementation for your platform.
If you don't have one you can check out [ViaLoader](https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaLoader) for an abstracted and simplified, but still customizable implementation.
You can also go to the other [ViaVersion](https://github.com/ViaVersion) repositories and look at their server and proxy implementations.
### Base Implementation
#### ViaAprilFools platform implementation
To get started you should create a class which implements the ViaAprilFools platform interface.
Here is an example:
```java
public class ViaAprilFoolsPlatformImpl implements ViaAprilFoolsPlatform {
public ViaAprilFoolsPlatformImpl() {
this.init(this.getDataFolder());
}
@Override
public Logger getLogger() {
return Via.getPlatform().getLogger();
}
@Override
public File getDataFolder() {
return Via.getPlatform().getDataFolder();
}
}
```
This is a very basic implementation which just uses the ViaVersion logger and data folder.
#### Loading the platform
After you have created your platform implementation you should load it in your ViaVersion implementation.
Here is an example:
```java
Via.getManager().addEnableListener(ViaAprilFoolsPlatformImpl::new);
```
Make sure to add the enable listener before the Via manager is initialized (``((ViaManagerImpl) Via.getManager()).init();``).
