🔗 NexCore Integration

NexCoreBridge is designed to work together with NexCore.

Install:

• NexCore.jar on every Spigot/Paper backend server
• NexCoreBridge.jar on your Velocity or BungeeCord proxy

The Bridge handles proxy and network communication while NexCore remains responsible for the actual server features and player data.

🎮 Compatibility

• Velocity: Supported
• BungeeCord: Supported
• Java: 21+
• Backend: NexCore-powered Spigot/Paper servers
• NexCore backend compatibility: Minecraft 1.20 – 26.2

⚡ Network Reliability

NexCoreBridge includes automatic handshake and connection recovery, request timeouts, server/player presence tracking and shared synchronization support for multi-server environments.

If the shared database temporarily becomes unavailable, the Bridge can fall back to local proxy operation and automatically resume shared synchronization after recovery.

🩺 Diagnostics

Server administrators can inspect the current Bridge status using:

/nexcorebridge status

Aliases:

/ncb status
/ncbridge status

This provides information about connected backends, network players, database connectivity, synchronization and plugin messaging.
