PunisherX-Velocity-Bridge

# PunisherX Velocity-Bridge **PunisherX Velocity-Bridge** is a lightweight addon for Velocity networks that synchronizes bans and IP bans from PunisherX (Paper/Folia) via a shared database and instantly disconnects punished players on the proxy. ## Description Do you run a server network and find it frustrating when a player gets banned on one backend but can still stay on the lobby or hop between servers? **PunisherX Velocity-Bridge** solves this problem. The addon acts as a bridge between: * **PunisherX on Paper/Folia** (where punishments are executed), * **Velocity Proxy** (where the player is actually connected), * **a shared database** (where punishment events are stored). When an administrator issues a BAN/BANIP (even from the console and even if the backend is empty), PunisherX records the event in the `bridge_events` table. Velocity-Bridge periodically reads these entries and immediately disconnects matching players on the proxy. After handling, it marks the entry as processed, ensuring the same event is not executed again. Result: punishments are enforced across the entire network, not just on a single server. ## Features * ✅ Synchronization of BAN/BANIP between PunisherX and Velocity * ✅ Works with punishments issued via commands, console, and offline players * ✅ Immediate enforcement of punishments on the proxy * ✅ Simple configuration (MySQL + polling interval) * ✅ No manual kicking and no bypassing punishments between backends ## Requirements * Java 21+ * Velocity 3.4+ / 3.5+ * PunisherX running on Paper/Folia servers * Shared MySQL/MariaDB database for PunisherX and the bridge ## Installation 1. Place `PunisherX-Velocity-Bridge-.jar` into the `plugins` folder on Velocity. 2. Start the proxy to generate `bridge.properties`. 3. Configure DB credentials (`host`, `port`, `database`, `username`, `password`) identical to PunisherX. 4. (Optional) Set `poll-interval-ms` (default: `1000 ms`, minimum: `200 ms`). 5. Restart Velocity. ## Disclaimer > This is an **addon (bridge)**, not a standalone punishment system. > It requires the main **PunisherX** plugin on Paper/Folia and a shared database to function.
