Here's how to connect to your Minecraft Netzwerk-Proxy (Velocity) server and adjust the most important settings.

Connecting

  1. Open the server page in the client area and click Start.
  2. Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
  3. Velocity is a proxy: players connect to the address at the top of the server page and Velocity forwards them to your Minecraft servers.
  4. Add your Minecraft servers to velocity.toml (Files tab) under [servers] and restart the proxy. The Minecraft servers must use the forwarding that matches player-info-forwarding-mode (for “modern”, with the key from forwarding.secret).

Important settings

In the Startup variables tab:

  • Velocity Version (VELOCITY_VERSION) – The Velocity Proxy version to download. Set to 'latest ' the download the last stable build.

Changes in the Startup variables tab take effect on the next restart.

Good to know

  • The first start takes longer because the server files are downloaded and set up.
