Velocity Configuration

Velocity's configuration is stored in the velocity.toml file. For more information on all the available options, see Velocity's configuration documentation.

For this guide we will only need to touch a few options.

Servers

Due to some limitations in the Velocity API, you need to define any server you would like to directly connect to through either the try or forced-hoses blocks in the velocity.toml file. We are going to add the connection information for our SMP server since we want all players to connect to it by default. We will later configure Impulse to adopt the server reference that velocity creates here.

[servers]
smp = "127.0.0.1:25566"

Try

The easiest way to get all our players to connect to our SMP by default is to set it as the first (and only) option in the try block. Impulse is not affected by this or the forced-hosts settings.

try = ["smp"]

Player Info Forwarding

Since we are running Velocity in online mode, we can set up player info forwarding to our SMP server so that people get their skins and correct usernames. Simply change the following option:

player-info-forwarding = "modern"

That is it for the Velocity configuration! Save the file and either reload it with /velocity reload or restart the proxy.
