VelocitySlots

VelocitySlots is a simple Velocity (and BungeeCord) plugin that fakes the maximum player slots in your server’s MOTD.

• Supports dynamic slot adjustment based on online players with an offset.
• Can also be set to a static number or an “unlimited” mode.
• Lightweight and requires no other plugin dependencies.

Features

• DYNAMIC mode: Show online players + offset as max slots.
• STATIC mode: Always show a fixed maximum slot number.
• Configurable via config.yml.

Installation

1. Place the VelocitySlots.jar in your plugins/ folder.
2. Start Velocity — a default config.yml will be generated automatically.
3. Stop Velocity and edit plugins/VelocitySlots/config.yml as needed.
4. Restart Velocity to apply changes.

Configuration (config.yml)

# ----------------------------------------------------------
# VelocitySlots Configuration File
# ----------------------------------------------------------
# This file allows you to control the "max slots" displayed
# in your server list (the MOTD), without affecting the real
# number of online players.
#
# You can configure static numbers and dynamic slots.
# All settings here only affect the max players shown 
# to clients.
#
# Keep in mind, this is fake max slots, meaning if for
# example the max slots of your server is at 200 players,
# the limit will still work.
# ----------------------------------------------------------

# ------------------------
# MAX SLOTS MODE
# ------------------------
# Choose how the max slots should be displayed.
# Options:
#   DYNAMIC      -> max slots = online players + offset
#   STATIC    -> max slots = static-slots value
max-slots-mode: DYNAMIC

# ------------------------
# DYNAMIC MODE SETTINGS
# ------------------------
# Only used if max-slots-mode is set to DYNAMIC.
# The plugin will take the real online player count and
# add the offset. This makes the server appear fuller.
# Example: 50 players online + offset 10 => 50/60 shown
offset: 0

# ------------------------
# STATIC MODE SETTINGS
# ------------------------
# Only used if max-slots-mode is set to STATIC.
# This number will always be shown as the max slots in the
# server ping, regardless of the actual player count.
# Example: static-slots: 1 will show 20/1 if 20 are online
static-slots: 100

# ------------------------
# NOTES
# ------------------------
# 1. Only the max slots value is changed; online players
#    always display the real count.
# 2. Offset is ignored in STATIC modes.
# 3. Setting max-slots-mode: DYNAMIC with offset: 0
#    simply mirrors the current online count as max slots.
# 4. You can adjust these values at any time; the changes
#    will take effect immediately for the next server ping.

Example

If you have 50 players online and offset: 10 in FAKE mode:

MOTD: 50/60
