# Impulse Impulse is a plugin for the Minecraft server proxy [Velocity](https://papermc.io/software/velocity). It adds the ability to dynamically start and stop servers on demand as players join and leave. Why run a server that is only used for a few hours a day?

## Key Features Impulse has many features to make managing your servers easy! Some highlights include: * Dynamic server creation and destruction - only run servers when your players are connected * First and third party brokers - Cores to drive your servers no matter how they are deployed, via Docker, JAR files, or something else. We are actively working on expanding our selection but you can find the full list [here](https://arson-club.github.io/Impulse/reference/brokers.html) * Automatic hot reload of configuration - update how impulse runs a server automatically, without a reload command! * Unmanaged server support - plays nice with any static servers you have configured in Velocity * Custom events - broadcasts custom events that allow you to extend Impulse's functionality * Third party Broker support - Implement your own Broker or use someone else's to manage your servers * FOSS - Impulse is commited to being free and open source always ## Documentation For more detailed information on how to use Impulse, see our [documentation](https://arson-club.github.io/Impulse/).
