Suggested Plugins & Extensions

WaterdogPE is intentionally a lean proxy — it handles routing players between servers and gives plugins a powerful API, but it leaves higher-level features to plugins and external projects. This section collects extensions we recommend for common needs, with setup guides for each.

These are optional add-ons. You do not need any of them to run a proxy — pick the ones that solve a problem you actually have.

Available guides

StarGate

StarGate is a lightweight socket communication service that lets the servers behind your proxy talk to each other and to the proxy in real time — far better than polling a database for things like player counts, cross-server messaging, or triggering transfers. Start with StarGate Modules, then follow the Server Setup and Client Setup guides.

StarGate is not actively maintained at the moment but is still functional. See its repository for the current state.
