How to Setup a Velocity Server

We recommend using Velocity for your network as it is one of the most secure.

Velocity is not a easy setup proccess, esespecially for bebeginners. We recommend you have some decent configuration knowknowledge before setting this up. To setup a Velocity Server, you first need a Velocity Server (duh) and a Paper Server.

  • Find your velocity.toml file in your Velocity Server, then scroll to "[Servers]".

  • Remove all the premade examples. For this example, we will setup one server, but you can do as many servers as you need for your network. Make sure to add the servers to the "try" variable.

  • Next, scroll up to where you'll find "player-info-forwarding-mode". Change that to "modern". Then save the file.

If you get any errors about forced-hosts, just remove them and it will be fixed.

  • Head to "forwarding.secret" in your Velocity. Remember the code within the file. Now, head to your playable Paper server, go to /config/paper-global Then find "Proxies". Change everything to be like so below, and input your forwarding.secret. Remeber to save your file.

  • Now, head to the properties tab and search for "online-mode". Set it to false, then restart your server.

Now everything should be setup correctly. If you have any issues at all, feel free to open a ticket in our Discord Server.
