A Minecraft server proxy with unparalleled server support, scalability, and flexibility.
Velocity-CTD is licensed under the GPLv3 license.
Velocity-CTD was created to replace poorly made plugins or plugins that simply cannot be better as a result of API limitations, lack of support/maintainability, infrequent bumping of integral dependencies of Velocity, useful performance improvements, and more.
Many networks have found that plugins that attempt to accomplish the same goal are littered with bugs and oddities, that make it hard to justify when using them on a large production network, which we fully intend to replace by providing our users a clean codebase.
- A codebase that is easy to dive into and consistently follows best practices for Java projects as much as reasonably possible.
- High performance: handle thousands of players on one proxy.
- A new, refreshing API built from the ground up to be flexible and powerful whilst avoiding design mistakes and suboptimal designs from other proxies.
- First-class support for Paper, Sponge, Fabric and Forge. (Other implementations may work, but we make every endeavor to support these server implementations specifically.)
- Features that deliver an "all-in-one" experience with various features that we believe every network wants and needs.
- Utilization of newer dependencies for virtually any dependency that can easily and fairly be upgraded, to maintain the highest level of performance.
- Implementation of non-invasive multi-forwarding system that allows you to use a different forwarding method for specific servers on the backend.
- Configurable
/alertcommand sends messages across your entire network. - Configurable
/alertrawcommand to send non-prefixed messages across your entire network. - Configurable
/findcommand that locates yourself and other users.

/hubwith/lobbyalias that sends you to the/a fallback server, which synchronizes with the activation and deactivation of dynamic fallbacks.- Configurable
/pingcommand that displays your and other users' ping. - The
/sendsupports sending users from{SERVER_FROM}to{SERVER_TO}. - Configurable
/showallcommand that displays all users connected to a specific instance rather than flooding your chat with users connected everywhere. - Configurable
/velocity uptimecommand to view how long your proxy has been online for. - Implementation of configurable
/server {SERVER}access for tab completion and command execution. - Choice implementation that allows you to fully strip, reload, and remove commands present in regular Velocity and require/force deactivation of commands for plugin overrides.
- Configurable value to disable translation for header and footer for Velocity to improve performance in plugins like TAB that do not need it.
- Configurable minimum version value that allows users to block users on versions older than your desired minimum server version (synchronizes with outdated pinger).
- Fallback servers allow users to be sent to the least or most populated server, which will cycle for even distribution.
- Configurable server brand and server pinger message (outdated and fallback).
- Configurable removal of unsigned message kick/disconnection events for plugins with improper compatibility.
- Configurable deactivation of Forge inbound handshakes for servers that do not run Forge or NeoForge as their server software.
- Other miscellaneous optimizations and tweaks that will only continue to be implemented as this fork matures.
- Preliminary MiniMessage support to permit full configurability of all Velocity
messages, alongside
/velocity reloadable translations, alongside/velocity reloadable server additions/removals inside thevelocity.toml. - Removal of all language files except
messages.propertiesto preserve maintainability. PRs are welcome to reimplement all language files with our changes. - Fix for users with poor connections getting stuck in the configuration phase by immediately removing them upon disconnection, using player teardown. (Issue: #1251)

Velocity is built with Gradle. We recommend using the
wrapper script (./gradlew) as our CI builds using it.
It is sufficient to run ./gradlew build to run the full build cycle.
You can find new releases of Velocity-CTD in our releases tab, where our latest updates will be compiled and ready for use.
Once you've built Velocity, you can copy and run the -all JAR from
proxy/build/libs. Velocity will generate a default configuration file,
and you can configure it from there.
