vLobbyConnect is a powerful and lightweight Velocity plugin designed to seamlessly manage lobby connections for players using different Minecraft protocol versions. Whether your server supports multiple Minecraft versions or needs efficient load balancing, vLobbyConnect ensures players are sent to the correct lobby every time.

🚀 Why Use vLobbyConnect?

• Version-Specific Lobby Assignment – Automatically sends players to the appropriate lobby based on their Minecraft version.
• Seamless Load Balancing – Distributes players evenly across multiple lobbies, preventing overcrowding and lag.
• Failsafe Mechanisms – If a lobby is misconfigured or full, players are redirected to an available fallback lobby.
• Easy Setup & Configuration – Just drop the plugin into Velocity, configure the lobbies, and you're good to go!

Setup

1. Place the plugin jar in your Velocity plugins folder.
2. Configure your lobbies in two places:

Plugin Config (config.yml)

This file is located in src/main/resources/config.yml (it will be copied to plugins/vLobbyConnect/config.yml on first run):

lobbies:
  1.20lobby1: "name1"
  1.20lobby2: "name2"
  1.8lobby1: "name3"
  1.8lobby2: "name4"

# To add more lobbies, follow the pattern "VERSIONlobbyX"
# Example:
# 1.13lobby8: "name5"

Velocity Server Configuration (velocity.toml)

In your velocity.toml, configure the servers with the required modifications. For example:

[servers]
name1 = "ip"
name2 = "ip"
name3 = "ip"
name4 = "ip"
try = []             # keep fallback empty

⚡ Commands
