# Velocity

Velocity is a next-generation Minecraft: Java Edition proxy suite. It is
designed specifically with mass-scale Minecraft in mind.

## Goals

* Simple, easy to understand codebase.
* High performance: handle thousands of players on one proxy.
* Flexible API built for mass-scale Minecraft.
* Licensed under the MIT license.
* First-class support for Paper, Sponge, and Forge. (Other implementations
  may work, but we make every endeavor to support these server implementations
  specifically.)

## Status

Velocity is far from finished, but most of the essential pieces are in place:
you can switch between two servers running Minecraft 1.12.
