Setup player information forwarding You need to setup player information
forwarding in order for SkinsRestorer to communicate with your backend servers. For that, follow the Velocity forwarding guide. This step is required for the plugin to work correctly on your network. If this step is not done correctly, the plugin will not work correctly.
Restart your servers Restart (/restart, /stop or /end) all Spigot
servers and the Velocity proxy.
Ensure the plugin is in Proxy Mode on the servers
In every Spigot server, check the server logs for the messages like these:
[SkinsRestorer] ----------------------------------------------
[SkinsRestorer] +==================+
[SkinsRestorer] | SkinsRestorer |
[SkinsRestorer] |------------------|
[SkinsRestorer] | Proxy Mode |
[SkinsRestorer] +==================+
[SkinsRestorer] ----------------------------------------------The plugin has to say that it is using "Proxy Mode". If you see this message, you're good to go!
If you don't see this message, make sure you you set up player information forwarding correctly. SkinsRestorer will not work correctly if you don't see this message.
Configure the plugin You may now [configure
SkinsRestorer](/docs/configuration) on the Velocity proxy.
Sync configs Make sure you have the same
plugins/SkinsRestorer/config.yml file on all servers and the Velocity proxy.
This file contains important settings that are required for the plugin to work
the same on all servers. If you don't have the same config.yml file on all
servers, you may experience issues.
Restart your servers Restart (/restart, /stop or /end) all Spigot
servers and the Velocity proxy.
Check console for errors Check the console logs of Velocity and all
servers for errors If you see any errors, report them to us on Discord.
That's it!
Our plugin should now work on your network!
