PicoLimbo Java Wrapper
by Quozul
PicoLimbo Java Wrapper lets the PicoLimbo limbo server run inside a proxy from a single standalone jar, without a separate process to manage.
What it does
PicoLimbo holds idle players in a waiting area and implements only the packets a client needs to log in, keeping the connection alive with little overhead. This wrapper packages that server as a Java Agent, so it starts together with the proxy it is attached to. Operators choose the installation method that fits their setup and configure forwarding for PicoLimbo before reporting an issue, as the author asks.
The wrapper integrates with the major Minecraft proxies and is available for Velocity and BungeeCord. Velocity Modern Forwarding, BungeeCord Legacy Forwarding and BungeeGuard or BungeeGuardPlus authentication are supported for the player handoff. The project is released under the MIT License, is open source, and publishes source code, an issue tracker and a wiki. Snapshot builds are published as well.
Key features
Holding idle players
Players are kept in a limbo world while a main server restarts or a queue clears, with only the packets needed to stay connected.
Forwarding handoff
Player data reaches the backend through Velocity Modern Forwarding, BungeeCord Legacy Forwarding or BungeeGuard authentication.
Proxy-side startup
The embedded server starts with the proxy from one jar, so no second server process has to be run.

Use cases
Waiting area during restarts
Server owners can send players to a limbo world while a main server restarts, since the server is built for idle waiting.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run Velocity or BungeeCord networks and want a waiting area for idle players, without installing and managing a separate limbo server.
