Usage
- Configuration guide wiki entry
- Create and add a Discord bot to your server
- The bot will need permissions to read and send messages with whatever permission scopes you set up, and in the channels you want to use
Known Issues
- Under certain circumstances with a proxy, prefix/suffix information is not read correctly, still narrowing down the cause
- Global chat still needs some tweaking and a proper, per-user toggle
- Sponge death messages are a tad off with how the component serializes (eg:
playerName Skeleton was shot byinstead ofplayerName was shot by Skeleton) - Still need to tweak the pass-through system and get that working properly
- Some implementations fire the shutdown event after the plugin unloads, so the shutdown message doesn't get sent
- Bukkit 1.6.4 doesn't have an advancement event
- Bukkit b1.7.3 doesn't support the following
- proper death/advancement events
- plugin messaging
Dependencies
Optional Dependencies
- LuckPerms - For permissions/prefix/suffix support

Switchboard server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong bukkit version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Switchboard compatible with bukkit and bungeecord and fabric and folia and forge and neoforge and paper and purpur and spigot and sponge and velocity and waterfall?
Switchboard officially supports bukkit, bungeecord, fabric, folia, forge, neoforge, paper, purpur, spigot, sponge, velocity, waterfall for Minecraft 1.20.2, 1.20.1, 1.20. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Switchboard – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Switchboard consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
