Server failing to initialize: Unable to connect you to fallback Please try again later
I recently made a server for my friends to play on. It is running 1.20.4 with Fabric Build #376 and Velocity Build #316. Attached is the terminal readout from launching both Velocity and Fabric, as well as the crash report. I've also attached a screenshot of my Plugins, which includes GeyserMC/Floodgate. The reason that I started having issues is that all of my plugins that have a Velocity specific build weren't loading in, so I couldn't get LuckPerms working. The main thing that I wanted to get working was for Bedrock players to be able to join properly. You could join the server, but you couldn't break blocks or open chests. If anyone can offer some insight, that would be wonderful!

@Mortis Lol that's a cute bug.
isnt that nice
it loads in properly as the file
In your waterfall folder you're trying to run a paper jar file.
Not a waterfall jar file.
2. hub
I guess that "is" supposed to be a paper jar file
But with that said, you have bungeecord plugins in the paper plugins folder.
I was following a tutorial on how to set up a server in windows, that was the name he used
i am not using waterfall
Ah.
and i should rename that
yeah i have a paper jar in the 2. hub folder
Yeah, you have bungee plugins in that folder
"Spark bungeecord"
You'd need the spigot version
i had velocity at first, and that didnt work
Yeah, you can't run proxy plugins on your backend.
They run on the proxy.
okay, i have no clue what that means but ill change it
:NotLikeDuck:
i know
Alright, so you have
Your proxy (Velocity)
Your Hub (Paper)
Something (Fabric? no logs included)
so this one
Yes
if you hop in the vc i can stream my screen if that would be easier for you to see
And on both your proxy and hub you have them both set to 25500 as the port. You can't do that, it wont work.
No, I don't do VCs
lol
alright, fair enough
not even if youre muted?
And in your velocity folder you have coreprotect, that's a backend plugin. You can't have that on your proxy either.
Actually most/all of the plugins you have on the proxy are not proxy plugins.
okay, yeah i just put all the plugins in both, i thought it had to be the same
but i can see how that would be a thing
Coreprotect
Essentials
Floodgate-SPIGOT
Freedomchat
Geyser-SPIGOT
Graves
Etc etc
None of those run on the proxy.
so which ones would i have on the proxy
Looks like the only three that actually loaded were
Viaversion
Viabackwards
Cleanping?
yep
So, remove all the rest.
okay thank you
okay i fixed the plugins in the proxy
do i need to delete the proxy plugins from the backend
Looks like spark bungee, yeah
so do i delete these from 2. hub?
You'd should probably check the docs of those plugins for install instructions.
okay
I'm not sure if VIA* needs to be on the proxy "and" backend or one or the other.
okay
i removed/replaced the plugins you told me, and now i just have to fix the ports, right?
what do i change with that
The server was working just fine earlier with both the proxy and backend using the same port
I can promise you "both" of them weren't working on the same port.
Because both of the logs you sent the servers crashed for something already running on 25500.
Getting Started | PaperMC Documentation
This page covers how to install and set up a minimal configuration of Velocity.
alrighty then
in velocity.toml it says that the default port for the proxy should be 0.0.0.0:25577
should i just set the port to that?
and then would i need to add inbound/outbound rules for that port in my firewall
and add a rule to forward the port in my router
I'd leave the proxy at 25565, you can make your backends whatever you want.
And you'd only port forward 25565.
okay
it seems to not like something about the paper jar

ah
Nothing about your server jar, you just have something already listening on 25500.
Restart your PC, it'll close out any servers you still ahve in the background.
okay
it wouldnt have to do with a yaml or toml file?
thanks that fixed it! other than updating essentials and leashables, does it look theres anything else i should do?

i tried logging into the server, and im still getting the same error "Unable to connect you to fallback. Please try again later."
and i did change the port im connecting to
at least im not getting all of the errors from before... haha
What do you have as the backend ip in your velocity.toml?
should i set it to 25565 in the second screenshot
i got on a call with some russians in the papermc and they helped me fix everything
thanks for your help tho!
either one, not both, with just backends being recommended for compatability
