Velocity is a modern, high-performance Minecraft server proxy written in Java, designed to route players across multiple backend servers with strong scalability. It offers a flexible plugin API and first-class support for Paper, Sponge, Fabric, and Forge server implementations.
Use cases
- link multiple minecraft servers behind one proxy
- bungeecord alternative for large minecraft networks
- handle thousands of players on a single proxy
- build plugins for a minecraft proxy network
- connect paper, fabric, and forge servers in one network
- replace waterfall proxy with a faster option
When to choose
- you run a multi-server Minecraft network needing a fast, stable proxy
- you want a modern plugin API and active community support
- you need first-class support for Paper, Sponge, Fabric, or Forge backends
- you need to scale to thousands of concurrent players
When to avoid
- you run a single Minecraft server with no need for proxying
- you rely on legacy BungeeCord-specific plugins without Velocity equivalents
- you need a proxy for non-Minecraft protocols
