# Shimatsu ProxyFallback<\/p>\n
Shimatsu ProxyFallback is a lightweight and efficient solution for Velocity proxies, designed to keep your community connected even when backend servers fail.<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udca1 The Story Behind the Plugin<\/p>\n
This plugin was originally developed exclusively for my own server, Shimatsu Network. I spent a lot of time looking for a simple and reliable fallback plugin that met our specific needs, but I couldn’t find anything that fit. I decided to write my own solution and share it with the public to help other server owners who are looking for a “plug and play” fallback system.<\/p>\n
## \u26a1 Key Features<\/p>\n
### Automatic Fallback:
\nSeamlessly moves players to the lobby (or any designated server) if their current server crashes or shuts down.<\/p>\n
### Simple Exclusion System:
\nUses a basic string-check to identify disconnect reasons that should not trigger a fallback (e.g., stopping the proxy from sending banned players back to the lobby).<\/p>\n
### Custom Server Commands:
\nCreate your own shortcut commands (like \/vanilla or \/lobby) with custom permissions directly in the configuration.<\/p>\n
### Multi-language Support:
\nPre-configured for English and Czech, utilizing MiniMessage (Adventure) for modern, easy-to-style formatting.<\/p>\n
### Selective Fallback:
\nChoose whether to enable fallback for all servers on your proxy or only a specific list.

\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Important Information<\/p>\n
**!IMPORTANT** Simple Exclusion System: The excluded-reasons feature is a simple string-based filter. It scans the disconnect message for specific keywords (e.g., “banned”). This is intended as a basic bridge. For proper network security, it is highly recommended to use a dedicated punishment plugin (such as LibertyBans or AdvancedBans) that handles bans and kicks across the entire network.<\/p>\n
**!NOTE** Compatibility: This plugin was specifically developed and tested on Velocity 1.21.11. While it is expected to function correctly on Velocity 1.21.1 and newer, please test it thoroughly in your specific environment before full deployment.<\/p>\n
## \u2699\ufe0f Configuration<\/p>\n
The plugin is designed to be highly flexible. You can modify the fallback logic, all player-facing messages, and custom commands in the config.yml.
\n##
\n## \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Commands & Permissions<\/p>\n
**Custom Commands:**
\nAs defined by you in the config (Default: \/lobby, \/vanilla).<\/p>\n
**Permissions:**
\nCustom permissions can be assigned to each command
\n(e.g., proxyfallback.command.lobby).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
