FabricGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.16 – 26.3

What it does

Sub-servers can be added to or removed from a Velocity proxy while it keeps running. Paper, Purpur, Folia and Velocity are the server platforms it works with, so a network built on those can use it. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public links to the source code, issue tracker and wiki.

Files target game versions 1.16 – 26.3, with the latest Fabric build 0.9.3-5e033a3 for 26.3, published on 2026-10-11 on the alpha channel. It was first published on 2023-02-27 and last updated on 2026-10-11.

Key features

  1. Sub-server registration

    Operators add a new sub-server to the proxy's list while it is running, and remove one when it goes offline.

  2. Load balancing across sub-servers

    Traffic is spread among the registered sub-servers of the network, as part of the proxy's load-balancing setup.

  3. Help and reporting

    Bug reports go to the issue tracker, and the wiki covers getting started.
