# Configure a Bungeecord server
In this guide, we will show you how to configure a Bungeecord server. You will need at least 3 servers to begin this process.
### Set up the BungeeCord Server
* 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.
### Configure the BungeeCord Server
* 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:
:
-admin
```
* Save the changes made to the configuration file.
### Connect Minecraft Servers to BungeeCord
* Start each Minecraft server that you want to connect to the BungeeCord proxy. Ensure that the servers are running on different ports.
* In the BungeeCord `config.yml` file, add the details of each Minecraft server under the `servers` section. Include the server name, SERVER IP, and port for each server.
* The **Server IP** can be found in the console tab on your server.
* Click the Server IP to copy it to your clipboard.
* The `server` section of your config should look something like this:
Copy
```
servers:
Hub:
motd: '&1Just another BungeeCord - Forced Host'
address: SERVERIP:PORT
restricted: false
Survival:
motd: '&1Just another BungeeCord - Forced Host'
address: SERVERIP:PORT
restricted: false
Factions:
motd: '&1Just another BungeeCord - Forced Host'
address: SERVERIP:PORT
restricted: false
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.hidencloud.com/minecraft/installing-bungeecord/configure-a-bungeecord-server.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
