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

Velocity is licensed under the MIT license for ultimate permissiveness
and expanding the pool of potential contributors and users.

## Goals
2018-08-27 11:42:01 +08:00
* A codebase that is easy to dive into and consistently follows best practices
for Java projects as much as reasonably possible.
2018-07-25 08:17:56 +08:00
* High performance: handle thousands of players on one proxy.
2018-08-27 11:42:01 +08:00
* A new, refreshing API built from the ground up to be flexible and powerful
whilst avoiding design mistakes and suboptimal designs from other proxies.
2018-07-27 02:02:13 +08:00
* First-class support for Paper, Sponge, and Forge. (Other implementations
may work, but we make every endeavor to support these server implementations
specifically.)

## Building
Velocity is built with [Gradle](https://gradle.org). 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.

## 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.
Alternatively, you can get the proxy JAR from the [downloads](https://www.velocitypowered.com/downloads)
page.

## Status
2019-04-14 10:34:06 +08:00
Velocity is currently in beta. Production networks are successfully running
Velocity with many hundreds of concurrent players online, but your mileage
may vary.

Velocity supports Minecraft 1.8-1.14.4. Velocity is best supported with Paper
2018-10-25 14:03:54 +08:00
and SpongeVanilla. Minecraft Forge is fully supported but mod compatibility
may vary. Generally, Velocity will support many mods better than BungeeCord
2018-12-26 16:42:21 +08:00
or Waterfall do but compatibility can not always be ensured.
