Velocity Plugin VelocityVersionBouncer

VelocityVersionBouncer

VelocityVersionBouncer is a Velocity proxy plugin that automatically sends each player to the backend server matching their Minecraft game version. It checks registered servers by protocol version when a player joins through the multiplayer list, helping networks host several server versions behind one address. Administrators can choose first match or balanced distribution, define whitelists and blacklists, and create explicit routes by game version, protocol, or client brand.

Optional server list ping matching and fallback bouncing improve resilience when a backend rejects or disconnects a player. It routes by protocol rather than installed mods, making it useful for carefully organized Java Edition networks. At BoxToPlay, we present it as a practical tool for smoother multi version Minecraft server management.
