FallbackRouter is a Velocity proxy plugin that ensures a smooth player experience by redirecting users to predefined fallback servers when their current server goes down or restarts. It prevents disconnects and frustration – especially in large networks or lobby-based systems.
✅ Features
🔄 Automatic Fallback Handling Detects when a player is kicked by a backend server and redirects them to the nearest predefined fallback server.
🌍 Multilingualism Language files in YAML format (currently including EN and DE). Easily extendable with custom translations.
⚙️ Fully configurable via config.yml
Define fallback chains per server
Select a default language
🧪 Error Handling
Ping checks before connecting
Delayed retry logic to give servers time to start
📁 Example Configuration
language: "en"
fallbacks:
smp:
- smpfb
- lobby

🌐 Language Example (en.yml)
fallback:

connected: "Successfully connected to %target%."
