How to (Developers)

How to build

1. Clone the repository with git clone.

Note: Build scripts are made to be run using Java 21.

Anti cheat integration

ViaForge supports sending a custom payload to transmit player protocol version data to the server. This allows servers to retrieve a player's protocol version via plugin messages, which can be useful for anti-cheat checks and version-dependent logic. For more details on how to use this feature, see the Server and Player Details Protocol wiki.

Disclaimer

It cannot be guaranteed that this mod is allowed on specific servers as it can possibly cause problems with anti-cheat plugins.
(USE ONLY WITH CAUTION!)
