Usage for ViaFabricPlus

Introduction

At the top left of the multiplayer screen is the ViaFabricPlus button, with it you can enter the main menu of the mod where you can change the settings and set the protocol version, the position of the button can be changed in the Settings -> General -> multiplayer screen button orientation.

In the Add/Edit Server screen there is a button where you can select a specific version for this server, when you ping or connect to this server, ViaFabricPlus will use the version set there, the versions are stored in the servers.dat too

If you don't want to specify a specific version anymore, you can simply press the button and select "Cancel and reset".

Commands

You can use the ViaVersion commands with /viafabricplus or /viaversion, and a few classic only commands are also implemented:

  • /viafabricplus settime <Time (Long)> - Changes the Clientside World Time, available from: c0.28-c0.30
  • /viafabricplus listextensions - Displays all classic protocol extensions, available in: c0.30 CPE

Settings

For users only the settings in the General, Bedrock, Authentication and Visual tab are relevant, the other settings are only for developers, you should not change the settings in the Debug tab if you don't know what you are doing.

Configuring the protocol translation libraries

To change the protocol translation settings/features you can look into the ViaLoader folder. You can find 4 config files there depending on the platforms loaded:

  • viaversion.yml (ViaVersion)
  • viabackwards.yml (ViaBackwards)
  • vialegacy.yml (ViaLegacy)
  • viabedrock.yml (ViaBedrock)

On it's first launch, ViaFabricPlus will generate the config files with proper default values. Don't touch the config files if you don't know what you are doing.

Debug HUD

The debug HUD can be enabled in the settings, it shows some useful information about the connection and the protocol translation.

Bedrock edition

Keep in mind that the Java -> Bedrock support is still in beta phase, and therefore many things are not implemented yet and there is no guarantee that everything will work as it should.

To log in to a Bedrock account you can press the button "Click to set account for Bedrock edition" in the settings, then you can log in via device login, the account logged in there will be stored in /minecraft./config/viafabricplus/accounts.json.

ClassiCube and BetaCraft integration

In the main GUI there is an extra button for ClassiCube and BetaCraft, both buttons send API requests to the respective platforms to get the respective server list.

BetaCraft

ClassiCube

For ClassiCube you need an account, which you can make on the official website (https://www.classicube.net/), in case ClassiCube requires MultiFactor, an extra GUI will open in ViaFabricPlus. The ClassiCube account will be stored in /minecraft./config/viafabricplus/accounts.json.
