# 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.

### Added Server protocols

- Combat Test 8c

### Added Client protocols
- 3D Shareware

### Projects implementing ViaAprilFools
 - [ViaProxy](https://github.com/RaphiMC/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/FlorianMichael/ViaFabricPlus): Fabric mod for the latest Minecraft version with QoL fixes and enhancements to the gameplay.

## Releases
### Gradle/Maven
To use ViaAprilFools with Gradle/Maven you can use this [Maven server](https://maven.lenni0451.net/#/releases/net/raphimc/ViaAprilFools) or [Jitpack](https://jitpack.io/#RaphiMC/ViaAprilFools).  
You can also find instructions how to implement it into your build script there.

### Jar File
If you just want the latest jar file you can download it from this [Jenkins](https://build.lenni0451.net/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 [ViaProtocolHack](https://github.com/RaphiMC/ViaProtocolHack) for an abstracted and simplified, but still customizable implementation,
or [ViaLoadingBase](https://github.com/FlorianMichael/ViaLoadingBase) for a quick and easy implementation.
You can also go to the official [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();``).
