Configuration (config.yml)
Mode options: DYNAMIC, STATIC
DYNAMIC mode: displayed max = online + offset
STATIC mode: fixed max slots
Example configuration:
Code (YAML):
# ----------------------------------------------------------
# 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
