A BungeeCord network is a group of at least three (3) servers, usually with a hub/lobby and at least one game mode (Survival, Creative, Minigames, etc.) server, all connected by a BungeeCord proxy server.
Here at Anvilnode, you can get your very own BungeeCord network all set up and running in as fast as 60 seconds!
For the purpose of this tutorial, we will have the following servers and their respective IP addresses:
- BungeeCord Proxy -
192.168.1.1:25565 - Hub/Lobby -
192.168.2.2:25595 - Survival (game mode) -
192.168.3.3:25583
Part 1: Setting Up the BungeeCord Proxy Server
- On the Multicraft panel (https://mc.anvilnode.com) of your BungeeCord Proxy server, set the Server Type to your preferred version of BungeeCord
- Start your server to generate the BungeeCord server files
- On the left sidebar, navigate to Files > Config Files
- On the Config Files page, click on the BungeeCord Config file
- In the BungeeCord Config, locate the line for the host. By default, this is set to 0.0.0.0:25565. Change this to your BungeeCord Proxy's IP address. In this case:
192.168.1.1:25565
- Locate the servers section of the config file and add each server (hub/lobby and survival) of your BungeeCord network, along with their respective IP addresses as the address. Filling out the MOTD is optional. Do not include the BungeeCord Proxy server
- Click Save to save all changes
Part 2: Setting Up the Hub and Game Mode (Survival) Servers
In this part of the tutorial, the following steps should be done for all your other servers - Hub/Lobby and any game mode servers (Survival). Repeat the steps below for each additional server you have on your network.
- On the Multicraft panel (https://mc.anvilnode.com) of your Hub and Survival server, set the Server Type to your preferred version of Spigot
- Start the server for all files to be generated. Once your server is fully loaded, stop your server before proceeding further to ensure that the files are saved correctly
- Once the server is stopped, on the left-hand pane, navigate to Files > Setup
- From the Template drop-down, select Configure Spigot for BungeeCord (Auto Config + IP Security). Then, click Apply
Part 3: Completing the Setup & Connecting to Your Network
Once you've completed setting up your BungeeCord Proxy server (Part 1) and all the other servers on your network (Part 2), restart ALL your servers for the changes and settings to take effect.
Once all servers are online, you now have successfully set up your very own BungeeCord network!
You can now join your network by logging in using the server address of your BungeeCord Proxy server.
