# ViaFabricPlus
Clientside ViaVersion, ViaLegacy, ViaBedrock and ViaAprilFools implementation with clientside fixes for Fabric
### This project has nothing to do with the original ViaFabric and is therefore also not compact

## Why?
ViaFabricPlus is supposed to be an alternative to [multiconnect](https://github.com/Earthcomputer/multiconnect) that offers more compactness and more clientside improvements,
as ViaFabricPlus implements all Via platforms (ViaVersion, ViaBackwards, ViaLegacy, ViaAprilFools, ViaBedrock) and adds tons of clientside fixes and QoL improvements like old rendering for all platforms.

## Setting up a Workspace
ViaFabricPlus uses Gradle, to make sure that it is installed properly you can check [Gradle's website](https://gradle.org/install/).
1. Clone the repository using `git clone https://github.com/FlorianMichael/ViaFabricPlus`.
2. CD into the local repository.
3. Run `./gradlew genSources`.
4. Open the folder as a Gradle project in your preferred IDE.
5. Run the mod.

## Settings
Settings are optional settings that can turn fixes on and off, originally they were used for debugging<br>

# Classic stuff
## Custom protocol extensions
ViaFabricPlus implements new Classic Extensions into the CPE protocol of ViaLegacy which are rather client side. <br>
- **WeatherType** extension (version **1**)

## Protocol commands
To better control the Classic Protocol, there are a few clientside commands, the command prefix is **/v**: <br>
- **/vhelp** - Displays all commands, available from: **c0.28-c0.30**
- **/vsettime <Time (Long)>** - Changes the Clientside World Time, available from: **c0.28-c0.30**
- **/vlistextensions** - Displays all classic protocol extensions, available in: **c0.30 CPE**

## Addons
There is no real addon base, to create addons you can simply use the event system, which uses Fabric's Event-API.
```java
public class ViaFabricPlusExampleAddon implements ClientModInitializer {

  @Override
  public void onInitializeClient() {
    ChangeProtocolVersionCallback.EVENT.register(protocolVersion -> {
      System.out.println("Version changed to " + protocolVersion.getName());
    });
  }
}
```
#### ViaFabricPlus has 7 events at the moment:
| Callback class name                  | Description                                                                                |
|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ChangeProtocolVersionCallback        | Called when the user changes the target version in the screen                              |
| FinishMinecraftLoadCallback          | Called when Minecraft is finished with loading all its components                          |
| FinishViaLoadingBaseStartupCallback  | Called when ViaLoadingBase and Via* is loaded and ready to use                             |
| InitializeSettingsCallback           | Called after the default setting groups are loaded and before the setting config is loaded |
| LoadClassicProtocolExtensionCallback | Called when the classic server sends the protocol extensions (only in **c0.30 CPE**)       |
| PreLoadCallback                      | Called before everything (Pre-pre load)                                                    |
| SkipIdlePacketCallback               | Called as soon as the idle packet is skipped in the <= 1.8                                 |

### General API
#### Get the release version of an material:
```java
final ProtocolRange range = ItemReleaseVersionDefinition.INSTANCE.getItemMap().get(Items.WRITABLE_BOOK); // If an item does not appear in the item map, it has always existed

// The Range class then contains all versions in which the item occurs. 
// You can find out how the Range class works in the ViaLoadingBase README.
// https://github.com/FlorianMichael/ViaLoadingBase
```

#### Creating own settings for the settings screen:
```java
public class ExampleSettingGroup extends SettingGroup {
    public final static ExampleSettingGroup INSTANCE = new ExampleSettingGroup();
    
    public final BooleanSetting test = new BooleanSetting("Test", false);
    
    public ExampleSettingGroup() {
        super("Example");
        ViaFabricPlus.INSTANCE.getSettingsSystem().addGroup(this); // should be in your onLoad method
    }
}
```

#### Implementing classic protocol commands:
```java
public class ExampleCommand implements ICommand {

    @Override
    public String name() {
        return "example";
    }

    @Override
    public String description() {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void execute(String[] args) {
    }
}
```
and then you register the command in your onLoad method:
```java
PreLoadCallback.EVENT.register(() -> {
    ClassicProtocolCommands.commands.add(new ExampleCommand());
});
```

#### Implementing custom classic protocol extensions:
```java
public class ExampleExtensionSupport implements ClientModInitializer {

  public static ClientboundPacketsc0_30cpe EXT_CLICK_DISTANCE;

  @Override
  public void onInitializeClient() {
    PreLoadCallback.EVENT.register(() -> {
      CustomClassicProtocolExtensions.allowExtension(ClassicProtocolExtension.CLICK_DISTANCE); // Register extension as supported

      EXT_CLICK_DISTANCE = CustomClassicProtocolExtensions.createNewPacket(ClassicProtocolExtension.CLICK_DISTANCE, 0x12, (user, buf) -> buf.readShort());
    });

    FinishViaLoadingBaseStartupCallback.EVENT.register(() -> {
      Via.getManager().getProtocolManager().getProtocol(Protocolc0_30toc0_30cpe.class).registerClientbound(EXT_CLICK_DISTANCE, null, new PacketHandlers() {
        @Override
        protected void register() {
          handler(wrapper -> {
            wrapper.cancel();
            final short distance = wrapper.read(Type.SHORT);
            // Do your stuff...
          });
        }
      }, true);
    });
  }
}
```
