|
|
|
|
|
and flexibility.

## Goals
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-08-27 05:42:01 +02:00
|
|
|
* A codebase that is easy to dive into and consistently follows best practices
|
|
|
|
|
for Java projects as much as reasonably possible.
|
2018-07-25 02:17:56 +02:00
|
|
|
* High performance: handle thousands of players on one proxy.
|
2018-08-27 05:42:01 +02:00
|
|
|
* A new, refreshing API built from the ground up to be flexible and powerful
|
|
|
|
|
whilst avoiding design mistakes and suboptimal designs from other proxies.
|
2018-07-26 20:02:13 +02:00
|
|
|
* 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-08-27 05:42:01 +02:00
|
|
|
Velocity is currently in an alpha state: it is prone to change at any time and
|
2018-09-20 22:58:38 +02:00
|
|
|
is currently only suitable for small servers and development/testing.

|
|
|
|
2018-10-25 08:03:54 +02:00
|
|
|
Velocity supports Minecraft 1.8-1.13.2. Velocity is best supported with Paper
|
|
|
|
|
and SpongeVanilla. Minecraft Forge is fully supported but mod compatibility
|
|
|
|
|
may vary. Generally, Velocity will support many mods better than BungeeCord
|
|
|
|
|
or Waterfall do but compatibility can not always be ensured.
