| Spec score · Minecraft Server Proxy Software | 7.6 (#9) | 7.7 (#8) |
| Plugins | Panda is the language used for plugins, and the README says its interface with the server is not complete. | PaperMC’s Hangar repository lists plugins built for Velocity and lets creators list their own plugins. |
| Product | Bamboo describes itself as a Minecraft server optimized for minigames. | Velocity is a high-performance Minecraft proxy and a full alternative to Waterfall. |
| Security | The project describes Bamboo as safe and secure but does not specify security controls or certifications in the README. | Velocity’s modern player information forwarding for Minecraft 1.13 and later requires the proxy and server to share a pre-arranged secret key. |
| Support | The README directs users to the project's Discord for questions and welcomes contributions from Rust developers. | PaperMC directs users to its documentation and Discord for Velocity help. |
