How To Setup Velocity

Where to get Velocity server jar? 

 The official version of Velocity can be found here 

 A fork I (MelonOof) would recommend is this one (download the one named in the following format:  velocity-proxy- {version} -all.jar if you are planning on choosing this one) 

 How to install the server jar for the first time 

 Access to the server's panel 

 Go to your file manager and upload the downloaded jar file. 

 Make sure its name matches the server jar file variable in the startup page. 

 Next start your server, after some seconds, every file will generate. 

 Adding Backend Servers 

 Press CTRL + F and search for  [servers] 

 You'll find something similiar: 

 

 [servers]

# Configure your servers here. Each key represents the server's name, and the value

# represents the IP address of the server to connect to.

lobby = "127.0.0.1:30066"

factions = "127.0.0.1:30067"

minigames = "127.0.0.1:30068" 

 You can delete those if you needed, but if they are adequate, just replace the IP address between the quotation marks. 

 Or if you want to add a new server, add a new line and on that line write the information regarding your backend. Example: 

 survival = "127.0.0.1:25565" (makes sure the backend's actual IP address and port) 

 You'll have something like this: 

 [servers]

# Configure your servers here. Each key represents the server's name, and the value

# represents the IP address of the server to connect to.

lobby = "127.0.0.1:30066"

factions = "127.0.0.1:30067"

minigames = "127.0.0.1:30068"

survival = "127.0.0.1:25565" 

 The last steps on velocity 

 Press CTRL + F and search for player-info-forwarding-mode 

 By default it's set to " none " we recommend you to set it to " modern ". Do note that the proxy won't support versions below 1.13, nor clients below 1.13, if you want to support such versions you may want to use "bungeeguard"  forwarding at your own risk, as we won't cover it within this guide. 

 After setting the forwarding mode to  modern , copy the string within forwarding.secret  file. 

 Configuring the backend 

 In the file manager follow the following folders path:  /config/paper-global.yml . Open the paper-global.yml 

 CTRL + F  and search for  velocity you'll find something similiar to this: 

 proxies:

 bungee-cord:

 online-mode: true

 proxy-protocol: false

 velocity:

 enabled: false

 online-mode: false

 secret: '' 

 Here set  enabled to true (the one on line 6 in this scenario), set online-mode to true if it isn't already and within the single quote marks paste the content you copied from the  forwarding.secret  file from the proxy. 

 Go back to the main directory and access the server.properties . 

 Set  online-mode=true to  online-mode=false 

 Add other backends
