# Vepaper \u2013 run and control standalone Paper servers from Velocity
\n**Version 1.12.4** \u00b7 requires **Velocity 3.4+** and **Java 17+**<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## 1. What is Vepaper?
\nVepaper is a Velocity proxy plug-in that launches one or more Paper servers as **local
\nsub-processes** and lets you manage them directly from the proxy.<\/p>\n
* Drop\u2010in install \u2013 just put the jar in *plugins\/* and start Velocity.
\n* Latest Paper jar is downloaded automatically.
\n* Generates `server.properties` and silently accepts the Mojang EULA.
\n* Paper console output is relayed to the Velocity console
\n (can be toggled with a command).
\n* Send any Paper console command from Velocity.
\n* **No file is ever modified** outside the instance folder
\n (your `velocity.toml`, `paper-global.yml`, secrets, etc. stay untouched).<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## 2. Installation
\n1. Build from source (`mvn clean package`, JDK 17) **or** download the release jar.
\n2. Place `vepaper-*.jar` in Velocity\u2019s `plugins\/` folder.
\n3. Start \/ restart Velocity.
\n * `plugins\/vepaper\/` and `config.properties` are created automatically.
\n * Default settings
\n * 1 Paper instance
\n * port **25563**
\n * **4096 MB** RAM
\n4. Modify `config.properties` if needed and restart Velocity.<\/p>\n
