* Begin by downloading the BungeeCord proxy jar file from the official [SpigotMC](https://www.spigotmc.org/) website or other trusted sources. Ensure that the version you download is compatible with your Minecraft server version.
* Place the Bungeecord file inside your FIle Manger directory.

* Stop the BungeeCord server if it is currently running.
* Open the `config.yml` file located in the same directory as the BungeeCord jar file using a text editor.
* Open the `config.yml` text file and start editing the contents, only edit the items listed. Do not delete or move any of the other existing text:

```
force-default-server:true
ip-forward:true
groups:
<your gamertag>:
-admin
```

* Save the changes made to the configuration file.<br>

  * Start each Minecraft server that you want to connect to the BungeeCord proxy. Ensure that the servers are running on different ports.

  * The **Server IP** can be found in the console tab on your server.
  * Click the Server IP to copy it to your clipboard.<br>
