# Velobby<\/p>\n
**Velobby** is a modern, lightweight, and feature-rich lobby management plugin for **Velocity Proxy**. It provides advanced load balancing, auto-reconnection systems, premium lobby support, and full customization.<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\ude80 Features<\/p>\n
* **Multiple Lobby Support**: Add as many lobby servers as you need.
\n* **Premium\/Special Lobbies**: Automatically route VIP players to specific lobbies based on permissions.
\n* **Load Balancing**: Distribute players among lobbies using different strategies:
\n * `random`: Connects to a random lobby.
\n * `balance`: Connects to the lobby with the fewest players.
\n * `order`: Fills lobbies in order (first available).
\n* **Auto-Reconnect (Fallback)**: Automatically redirects players to a lobby if they are kicked from a backend server (prevents them from being disconnected from the proxy).
\n* **Command Aliases**: Custom aliases like `\/lobby` or `\/hub`.
\n* **Blocked Servers**: Prevent the use of lobby commands in specific servers (e.g., Auth, Login).
\n* **Modern Messaging**: Full support for **MiniMessage** (Gradients, Hex colors, etc.) and legacy color codes.
\n* **Multi-Language**: Built-in English (`en`), Spanish (`es`), and German (`de`) support.
\n* **Update Checker**: Automatically checks for new versions.<\/p>\n

\n1. Velobby intercepts the kick event.
\n2. It checks if `auto-reconnect` is enabled.
\n3. It checks if the player has permission for a **Special Lobby**. If so, it tries to connect them there first.
\n4. If not, it finds a suitable normal lobby (excluding the server the player was kicked from).
\n5. It sends the player to that lobby and displays a title\/message explaining the redirection.<\/p>\n
