# Minecraft Velocity Proxy – Network, Paper Backends, 25565

Velocity instead of BungeeCord: velocity.toml, modern forwarding, Paper backends, one public 25565, lobby + survival.

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

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