SMP-Reconnect
The Ultimate Lightweight Auto-Reconnect Solution for Velocity
Turned Away by Restarts?
In the competitive world of Minecraft servers, player retention is everything. When a sub-server crashes or undergoes a scheduled restart, players are traditionally kicked back to the lobby or, even worse, disconnected from the proxy entirely. Most servers lose up to 20% of their concurrent players during these brief downtime windows.
SMP-Reconnect maintains your player count by keeping users bridged on the Velocity proxy during downtime. The moment the backend server is ready, they are automatically returned—providing a premium, seamless experience that keeps your community engaged.

Exclusive Features
Zero-Latency Performance: All pings and reconnection logic are handled asynchronously, ensuring your proxy remains lag-free.
Advanced Server Pinging: Uses the Velocity internal ping API to accurately detect when a server is accepting players again.
Smart Reconnect Logic: Intelligently remembers where each player was. No more "lost" players wandering around the lobby.
Fail-Safe Protection: Automatically detects if a player was banned or kicked and will NOT reconnect them.
Dynamic Fallback Mapping: Map specific source servers to specific fallback destinations (e.g. Survival to Survival-Lobby).
Customizable Notifications: Full control over hex-colors and the frequency of reconnect notifications.
Commands & Admin Control
| Command | Description | Permission |
| /reconnectreload | Reloads the config.yml without restarting the proxy. | smpreconnect.admin |

In the past, I struggled with player counts dropping whenever a sub-server went down for maintenance. This plugin solved that instantly.
Performance: I noticed zero impact on my proxy's CPU/RAM.
Smart Logic: It’s smart enough not to reconnect banned players.
Customization: The ability to use colors for messages makes the transition look professional.
If you’re running a Velocity proxy and care about players, this is a must-have.
