VelocityReconnect keeps players online while a backend server restarts and reconnects them automatically when it comes back.<\/p>\n

Instead of kicking players out during a restart, VelocityReconnect keeps retrying in the background and can hold players inside the proxy while they wait. This makes restarts, crashes, and maintenance feel much smoother for players.<\/p>\n

By default, VelocityReconnect uses its built-in no-limbo mode, so no extra backend or limbo server is required. If you prefer, it can also work with a real holding server.<\/p>\n

Features:<\/p>\n

Native Velocity reconnect handling
\nNo limbo server required
\nBuilt-in no-limbo mode enabled by default
\nOptional support for a real holding server
\nAutomatic reconnect attempts while the backend is offline
\nCustom reconnect titles, subtitles, and actionbar messages
\nAnimation support in reconnect messages
\nConfigurable reconnect timing and retry behavior
\nFallback server support
\nPer-server permission support
\nSimple Voice Chat compatibility for built-in holding mode
\nSetup:<\/p>\n

1. Drop the plugin into your proxy’s plugins folder.
\n2. Restart your Velocity proxy.
\n3. Open the config and set the reconnect timing to match how long your server usually takes to start.
\n4. Check that the shutdown text or regex matches the message your backend sends when it restarts.
\n5. If needed, edit the config and reload the plugin.
\nTest it and enjoy.<\/p>\n

Credits:
\nVelocityReconnect is based on and ported from tau’s BungeeReconnect, with additional Velocity-specific changes and built-in proxy holding support for single-backend setups.<\/p>\n
