OpenSSL is much more portable and optimized (important for aarch64) and most systems already have a version. Unfortunately, OpenSSL likes to break their ABI. Thankfully, Velocity's natives system is very flexible largely, so we can provide multiple versions of this crypto. Versions of the dynamically-linked crypto were compiled on CentOS 7 (still supported until 2024, uses OpenSSL 1.0.x) and Debian 9 (the oldest distro including OpenSSL 1.1.0, whose LTS supports ends in 2022). The choice of distros was intended to cover most modern distributions (2014 and afterwards). An ARM compilation (using Debian 9) will be published soon.
Velocity
A Minecraft server proxy with unparalleled server support, scalability, and flexibility.
Velocity is licensed under the MIT license for ultimate permissiveness and expanding the pool of potential contributors and users.
Goals
- A codebase that is easy to dive into and consistently follows best practices for Java projects as much as reasonably possible.
- High performance: handle thousands of players on one proxy.
- A new, refreshing API built from the ground up to be flexible and powerful whilst avoiding design mistakes and suboptimal designs from other proxies.
- 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. 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 page.
