How to Setup BungeeCord

What Is BungeeCord?

BungeeCord (created by the SpigotMC team) is a proxy designed to seamlessly connect multiple Minecraft servers together, allowing players to navigate between them without leaving the game.

BungeeCord is compatible with Spigot, Purpur, PaperMC, and any Spigot fork. It will NOT function on Forge/Fabric or vanilla servers.

BungeeCord is very beneficial for server administrators that want to separate their server's activities (such as minigames, creative, survival, and so on). It is utilized and trusted by notable servers such as Hypixel, Mineplex, HiveMC, and much more.

Preparing The Backend Servers

Backend servers are all servers connected to your BungeeCord proxy.

1. 1Go to the Game Panel
2. 2Click on any of your Backend servers
3. 3Setup your server if it has not been setup before
4. 4Go to the file manager
5. 5Locate and open server.properties
6. 6Scroll down and set online-mode to false
7. 7Return to the file manager
8. 8Locate and open spigot.yml
9. 9Set bungeecord to true
10. 10Restart the server

Repeat the steps above for all your Backend servers.

Creating And Configuring The Proxy

1. 1Go to the Game Panel
2. 2Click on your proxy server
3. 3Go to version Manager and click on bungeecord then click Install
4. 4Start your server then stop it
5. 5Go to File Manager and locate config.yml and open it
6. 6Scroll down to priorities: - lobby, change lobby to your default fallback server's name (case sensitive)

   server-name:
     motd: '&1Just another BungeeCord - Forced Host'

BungeeCord Commands

You can find a list of BungeeCord commands on the SpigotMC wiki.

In Game

Players can teleport to other servers on your network by using the /server command in-game. They can click on the server they want to go to, or use /server <name>, like /server lobby.

This command requires the bungeecord.command.server permission which is granted to everyone by default.
