and flexibility.

Original Project: https://github.com/PaperMC/Velocity
Purpose
Velocity-CTD was created to replace poorly made plugins or
plugins that simply cannot be better as a result of API limitations,
lack of support/maintainability, infrequent bumping of integral
dependencies of Velocity, useful performance improvements (related to dependency bumps), and more.
Many networks have found that plugins that attempt to accomplish the
same goal are littered with bugs and oddities, that make it hard to
justify when using them on a large production network, which we
fully intend to replace by providing our users a clean codebase.

Purpose
Velocity-CTD was created to replace poorly made plugins or

lack of support/maintainability, infrequent bumping of integral
dependencies of Velocity, useful performance improvements (related to dependency bumps), and more.
Many networks have found that plugins that attempt to accomplish the
same goal are littered with bugs and oddities, that make it hard to
justify when using them on a large production network, which we
fully intend to replace by providing our users a clean codebase.
Goals
- A codebase that is easy to dive into and consistently follows best practices
for Java projects as much as reasonably possible. - High performance: handle thousands of players on one proxy.
- A new, refreshing API built from the ground up to be flexible and powerful whilst avoiding design mistakes and suboptimal designs from other proxies.
- First-class support for Paper, Sponge, Fabric and Forge. (Other implementations may work, but we make every endeavor to support these server implementations specifically.)
- Features that deliver an "all-in-one" experience with various features that we believe every network wants and needs.
Additional Features/Removals
- Implementation of non-invasive multi-forwarding system that allows you
to use a different forwarding method for specific servers on the backend. - Utilization of newer dependencies for virtually any dependency that can
easily and fairly be upgraded, to maintain the highest level of performance. - Configurable /alert command sends messages across your entire network.
- Configurable /alertraw command to send non-prefixed messages across your entire network.
- Configurable /find command that locates yourself and other users.
- /hub with /lobby alias that sends you to the/a fallback server, which synchronizes with the activation and deactivation of dynamic fallbacks.
- Configurable /ping command that displays your and other users' ping.
- The /send supports sending users from {SERVER_FROM} to {SERVER_TO}.
- Configurable /showall command that displays all users connected to a specific instance rather than flooding your chat with users connected everywhere.
- Configurable /velocity uptime command to view how long your proxy has been online for.
- Implementation of configurable /server {SERVER} access for tab completion and command execution.
- Choice implementation that allows you to fully strip, reload, and remove commands present in regular Velocity and require/force deactivation of commands for plugin overrides.
- Configurable value to disable translation for header and footer for Velocity to improve performance in plugins like TAB that do not need it.
- Configurable minimum version value that allows users to block users on versions older than your desired minimum server version (synchronizes with outdated pinger).
- Fallback servers allow users to be sent to the least or most populated server, which will cycle for even distribution.
- Configurable server brand and server pinger message (outdated and fallback).
- Configurable removal of unsigned message kick/disconnection events for plugins with improper compatibility.
- Configurable deactivation of Forge inbound handshakes for servers that do not run Forge or NeoForge as their server software.
- Other miscellaneous optimizations (dependency-based bumps) and tweaks that will only continue to be implemented as this fork matures.
- Preliminary MiniMessage support to permit full configurability of all Velocity messages, alongside /velocity reload-able translations, alongside /velocity reload-able server additions/removals inside the velocity.toml.
- Removal of all language files except messages.properties to preserve maintainability. PRs are welcome to reimplement all language files with our changes.
- Fix for users with poor connections getting stuck in the configuration phase by immediately removing them upon disconnection, using player teardown. (Issue: https://github.com/PaperMC/Velocity/issues/1251)
