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 ( named in the following format: velocity-proxy-{version}-all.jar

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.
