Velocity-CTD

A Minecraft server proxy with unparalleled server support, scalability, and flexibility.

Velocity-CTD is licensed under the GPLv3 license.

Goals

• 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.

Additional Features/Removals

• Configurable /alert command sends messages across your entire network.
• Configurable /alertraw command to send non-prefixed messages across your entire network.
• Configurable /find command that locates yourself and other users.
• /hub with /lobby alias that sends you to the/a fallback server, which synchronizes with the activation and deactivation of dynamic fallbacks.
• Configurable /ping command that displays your and other users' ping.
• The /send supports sending users from {SERVER_FROM} to {SERVER_TO}.
• Configurable /showall command that displays all users connected to a specific instance rather than flooding your chat with users connected everywhere.
• Implementation of configurable /server {SERVER} access for tab completion and command execution.
• 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value that allows users to block users on versions older than your desired minimum server version (synchronizes with outdated pinger).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 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• Configurable server brand and server pinger message (outdated and fallback).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.
• Removal of all language files except messages.properties to preserve maintainability. PRs are welcome to reimplement all language files with our changes.

Building

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.

Running

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.
