Building:

You need JDK 9 or higher to build ViaVersion. The plugin works on Java 8, but needs to be compiled with a higher version for compatibility reasons.

After cloning this repository, build the project with Gradle by running /gradlew build and take the created jar out of the build/libs directory.
