Velocity - The Modern, Next-Generation Minecraft Server Proxy
Velocity is a modern, high-performance Minecraft server proxy that allows server administrators to link multiple Minecraft servers together under one IP address, providing a seamless experience for players and powerful management tools for administrators.
Project Introduction
Summary
Velocity is a powerful, open-source proxy software specifically designed for linking and managing multiple Minecraft servers. It stands out for its focus on performance, modern design, and strong support for developers wanting to build integrated server networks.
Problem Solved
Managing a single large Minecraft server can be limiting. Building a network of multiple servers (e.g., survival, creative, minigames, lobby) provides more diverse gameplay but requires a central point for players to connect and easily switch between them. Velocity solves this by acting as the gateway, directing players to the appropriate server and providing essential network management.
Core Features
High Performance
Leverages modern network technologies and a lightweight architecture for optimal speed and low latency, crucial for gaming.
Wide Compatibility
Supports a wide range of Minecraft versions and forks, ensuring broad compatibility with various server setups.
Extensive Plugin API
Offers a robust API for developers to create powerful plugins that extend functionality, such as custom commands, security features, and server switching logic.
Core Functionality
Includes built-in features for player forwarding, server management, and basic security against common attacks.
Tech Stack
使用场景
Velocity is essential for any setup involving multiple interconnected Minecraft servers. Common use cases include:
Linking Multiple Game Servers
Details
Establish a central entry point (lobby server) and allow players to seamlessly switch between different game modes (e.g., Survival, Creative, Skyblock) hosted on separate server instances.
User Value
Offers players a unified network experience and allows administrators to isolate game modes for better performance and management.
Load Balancing Player Connections
Details
Use Velocity to distribute incoming player connections across multiple instances of the same server type (e.g., a large survival server split into multiple 'worlds' or instances) to balance load.
User Value
Ensures high availability and prevents single server instances from becoming overloaded, improving stability and performance under high player counts.
Centralized Network Management & Features
Details
Implement network-wide features like global chat, a single friend list, or centralized authentication/permissions across all connected servers via Velocity plugins.
User Value
Simplifies administration and provides consistent features for players across the entire server network.
