# NeoForged Velocity Support<\/p>\n
Adds support for Velocity’s Modern Forwarding in NeoForge. Velocity’s Modern
\nForwarding protocol transfer user data directly from the proxy to the server, which acts as a second layer of
\nprotection against bad actors on top of your firewall. For more detailed information, see the official documentation
\nhere.<\/p>\n
This implementation strives for consistency with Paper’s implementation of modern
\nforwarding. This helps with compatibility and keeps the code simple.<\/p>\n
For any questions, please ask in the `#velocity-support` channel on my discord.<\/p>\n
## Getting Started<\/p>\n
First, you will need a Velocity proxy set up. I assume if you are already looking at this mod, you already have this
\nset up. If not, for detailed steps on setting up a proxy, see the official documentation
\nhere.<\/p>\n
Once you are at the point where you want to connect your NeoForge server to the proxy, install the mod of the
\nappropriate version to your server. After that, simply copy your proxy’s `forwarding.secret` file into your NeoForge
\nserver’s directory. Of course, make sure your server is in offline mode (`online-mode=false` in `server.properties`).
\nLaunch your server and you are good to go!<\/p>\n
## Troubleshooting<\/p>\n
If you are having troubles connecting to your server and Velocity is giving a packet decoding error, add the following
\nargument to your proxy’s startup script:<\/p>\n
“`
\n-Dvelocity.packet-decode-logging=true
\n“`<\/p>\n
This will make Velocity give more information regarding packet decoding errors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
