Server Switcher
A Velocity plugin that provides a permission-based server switching system for your Minecraft network.
Features
- Fully configurable formatted server list with MiniMessage support
- Grouping of servers
- Detection of online status of the server
- Permissions to control which servers players can access and see in the server list
Commands
/server- Lists all servers the player has access to/server <server-name>- Switches the player to the selected server/server reload- Reloads the plugin configuration file
⚠️ Warning
It is strongly advised to avoid naming a server
reload. Doing so will likely cause a conflict for players with theserverswitcher.reloadpermission.
Permissions
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
serverswitcher.list |
Access to the /server command |
serverswitcher.reload |
Access to /server reload |
serverswitcher.server.<server-id> |
Allows access to the server <server-id> |
serverswitcher.group.<group-id> |
Allows access to all servers in the group <group-id> |
serverswitcher.server.<server-id>andserverswitcher.group.<group-id>can optionally be overriden with custom permission names in the config file.- If a player does not have permission to access a server the server will be hidden from them by default. Setting the config value
alwaysShowtotruefor a group or server, the server will always show up in the listing, but the player will be denied access if they attempt to connect while not having the permissions.
⚠️ Warning
This plugin does not prevent a player from being on a server; it only controls whether they can switch there themselves. If there are other ways to join a server, they may bypass this restriction. You might also want to prevent access to the Velocity server command by setting
velocity.command.servertofalse.
