Minecraft Velocity Proxy – Network, Paper Backends, 25565

Quick answer: Velocity is the public proxy on port 25565; Paper servers run behind it internally. BungeeCord is legacy.

  1. Velocity jar (Java 17+), velocity.toml: bind 25565, forwarding-mode modern
  2. Two Paper servers: lobby 25566, survival 25567, online-mode=false
  3. Only 25565 open to the internet

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Velocity or BungeeCord?
Velocity is the modern proxy (Paper team): faster, safer player-info forwarding. Bungee only for legacy plugins without a Velocity fork.
Which ports?
Public only Velocity 25565. Paper backends on localhost or a private net (e.g. 25566, 25567) – don’t expose all of them.
Where is online-mode?
online-mode=true on Velocity. Backends online-mode=false plus Velocity modern forwarding, or you get auth/UUID chaos.
Do I need Velocity for one server?
No. One Paper server is enough. Velocity from 2+ worlds/modes (lobby, survival, event) or if you want to hide backend IPs.
