Plugin KickRedirect

KickRedirect, seamless shutdown redirection

KickRedirect is a Velocity plugin for Minecraft Java Edition networks. When a backend server shuts down, it redirects affected players to a configured destination instead of leaving them at a disconnection screen. This keeps your Minecraft server network welcoming during restarts, maintenance, or planned service interruptions.

Its main strength is flexibility: KickRedirect provides multiple redirection systems and detailed control over destination servers, going beyond Velocity’s built in redirect behavior. Administrators can reload the configuration with a dedicated command and tailor routing to their network. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for smoother proxy management and a more reliable player experience.
