Modern Forwarding for Forge

This mod brings modern forwarding to Forge servers (See: https://docs.papermc.io/velocity/player-information-forwarding)

How to get started:

1. Download and install this as a mod to your Forge server. (Jars can be found in the releases tab.)
2. Start the server.
3. Close the server and open "proxy-compatible-forge-common.toml" in the config folder and put your forwarding secret in the "forwardingSecret" field.
4. In "server.properties" make sure online-mode is set to false.
5. You are now ready to start the server and connect to it with Velocity!

Modern Forge on Velocity

If you wish to host modern Forge server (1.16.5 or higher) behind a Velocity proxy, check out Ambassador: https://modrinth.com/plugin/ambassador

Note: Version 1.2.0-beta or higher of Ambassador doesn't require this mod anymore but you can still use it if you want modern forwarding.
