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

• 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.)

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.

Velocity is far from finished, but most of the essential pieces are in place: you can switch between two servers running Minecraft 1.9-1.13. More versions and functionality is planned.
