How do I set up Bungeecord (multi-server network)?

To set up Bungeecord, first make sure that you have the servers you want to use for your Bungeecord network started and correctly set-up.

If you haven't already, you first have to install Bungeecord as the server version. This is done in the Versions tab on our server panel, under the "Modpacks and other versions" section. (Note! Select the DELETE FILES options when installing).

Step 1:
Go to your bungeecord server on the server panel. Stop your server, if not already done. Go to the file manager, and click on the "config.yml" file. Find the line called "host" (usually the 7th line in the file). Change this adress to whichever server port your server instance has "0.0.0.0:YourServerPort". For example, if your server adress is "steven.labradorhost.com:12345", you would change the host to "0.0.0.0:12345" (without the quotations).

You also want to make sure that "ip_forward"-line is set to true.

Step 2:
In the config.yml file, you can also add other servers to your network. This is done in the "servers" section.

To do so, follow this format while adding new servers:

servers:
  lobby:
    address: my.ip.adress:12345
    motd: '&1Just Another Lobby server'
    restricted: false
  hub:
    address: my.otherip.adress:15672
    motd: '&1Just Another Hub World'
    restricted: false

The first line (in this case, lobby and hub, are identifiers to help you remember which server does what.
The "adress" line should point to the server ip of whichever server you are adding.
The "motd" line is the message displayed in the Minecraft server browser under the server name.

The servers list is prioritized from top to bottom - so any new player will be pushed onto the first server in the list (in this case "lobby").

You can add as many servers to your network as you'd like. Also keep in mind that you will have to disable online-mode for each individual server if running spigot or paper, as it is already enabled for your bungeecord server and will otherwise not allow you to connect.

Don't forget to save your config file whenever exiting it :)
