Proxy Relay

New in 0.9.2 — chat/log relay only, not full proxy support

Solver only runs on individual Bukkit-family servers (Paper, Purpur, Spigot, CraftBukkit, Folia). A proxy has no worlds, inventories, or players with in-game state, so sanctions, vanish, and GUIs don't run there — the relay only forwards alerts and staffchat text across your network. Sponge is not related to this feature and remains unsupported.

If you run a BungeeCord, Waterfall, or Velocity network with more than one Solver-powered backend, the proxy relay makes staffchat messages and moderation/integrity alerts reach staff connected to any backend, not just the one where the alert happened.

What gets relayed

  • /solver staffchat messages (and the toggled staffchat mode)
  • Chat moderation alerts (Fyrx AI)
  • Integrity alerts — jar hash mismatch, malware match, Java agent detected

Nothing else. No sanctions, vanish state, or GUI data crosses the network — see the warning above for why.

Setup

1. Enable the relay on every backend

In each backend's plugins/Solver/config.yml:

yaml
proxy-relay:
  enabled: false   # change to true

Off by default — a network-wide relay is a real behavior change, so it's opt-in.

2. Install the matching plugin on the proxy

The proxy side is a separate, small plugin — it is not part of the Solver.jar you install on backends. Pick the one matching your proxy software:

  • BungeeCord or Waterfall (they share the same plugin API) → solver-proxy-bungee.jar
  • Velocitysolver-proxy-velocity.jar

Drop the matching jar into the proxy's own plugins/ folder and restart the proxy. No configuration file of its own — it activates as soon as a connected backend has proxy-relay.enabled: true and sends its first message.

3. Confirm it's running

On proxy startup, the console prints one line:

SolverProxy (Bungee/Velocity) enabled - staff permission source: LuckPerms | per-server roster fallback

Who receives relayed messages

The relay only reaches players holding solver.notify (for alerts) or solver.staffmode.staffchat (for staffchat) — same permissions used locally on each backend. How the proxy checks that permission depends on what's installed:

  • LuckPerms installed on the proxy — used directly. If your LuckPerms setup shares storage across the whole network, this already matches what each backend grants, with nothing else to configure.
  • No LuckPerms on the proxy — each backend periodically tells the proxy which connected players currently hold solver.notify, and the proxy relays to the union of everyone reported by any backend. This is the default if you haven't installed LuckPerms proxy-side.

Compatibility

ProxyPluginNotes
Velocitysolver-proxy-velocity.jarRequires Java 11+ on the proxy.
Waterfallsolver-proxy-bungee.jarWaterfall has reached end of life upstream — PaperMC recommends migrating to Velocity. The plugin still works on it today.
BungeeCordsolver-proxy-bungee.jarSame plugin as Waterfall.
