Questions regarding velocity:
Hey, so right now I'm planning on having two different servers (and an extra one as hub) for different gamemodes. The gamemodes will be SkyBlock and Survival. I currently have one VPS and I'll be adquiring another one. In the first one I'll have the hub and the Survival and in the second one, the SkyBlock.
I have zero or close to zero knowledge of Velocity and I'd like to get this questions solved:
- First, my main question is: When I make the separate server for the hub and the survival in the first VPS, where do I install velocity? Do I need velocity on all the servers including the SkyBlock and Survival? Or can I keep puperfish in the gamemode servers?
- Secondly, plugin-wise: I have a couple of custom made plugins as well as a lot of regular ones. Will those get messed up if I install velocity in the gamemode servers (survival and skyblock)?
- Thirdly, general server concern: The method to update velocity is the same a paper? The performance, network configuration and this kind of stuff are the same in paper and velocity? What are the important plugins to start with velocity?

1. No. Velocity is a separate server instance (usually needs 1-2gb of RAM, may need to increase due to ptero + docker shenanigans). Your backend servers (minigame servers) can keep running whatever, paper, purpur pufferfish etc
Okay, so velocity needs to be downloaded in the "hub" persay
no:
Velocity -> sends you to whatever server you specify to go to first
note: typically servers will have a server that velocity will send you to (a 'hub') where you can choose where you want to go (survival, skyblock)
so it could be
Velocity (proxy) -> Hub (a backend server running paper or whatever, with npcs to send you to the minigames) -> Player chooses where to go
hmm I think I get the flow of it.
I still need to see it physically because I don't exactly know how to do that
If you want, I can give you a little walkthrough of my set up
I’ve been using velocity for quite a while now
I would love that, do you mind doing a little screenshare while you explain me sometime today?
Thanks!
Sure I’ll dm later
Bet!
