To reproduce, on the viaversion branch, either:

• Run ./gradlew runClient
• Import the project in intellij, and run the "Minecraft Client" run configuration.

You get the following error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.earthcomputer.multiconnect.impl.via.ViaMulticonnectTranslator

From what I understand, runtimeOnly project(':via-translator') should have put this on the classpath, but it didn't.

This issue should be fixed within the following constraints:

• No Java code should be changed or moved between subprojects unnecessarily (check with me if unsure).
• The root project should stay as the root project, not be moved to a subproject.
• The root project and the :via-translator project have a compile-time dependency on :translator-api, and not on each other.
• The root project does not have a dependency on ViaVersion - only on Minecraft (which needs Loom).
• The :via-translator project has a dependency on ViaVersion and Minecraft (which needs Loom).

The reason for the above constraints is mostly legal. ViaVersion is licensed under LGPL and multiconnect under MIT. The :via-translator subproject will be licensed to LGPL and not be required to run multiconnect. By contributing to this branch you agree to this licensing.

The bounty for fixing this issue is $20. Normal bounty rules apply. The bounty is payable via PayPal only.

The root project does not have a dependency on ViaVersion

technically it would be transitive earth... I got it to

I meant no compile-time dependency :P
