### Set up the BungeeCord Server <a href="#block-2204caf7dbaf4a0ca952f73286990ec0" id="block-2204caf7dbaf4a0ca952f73286990ec0"></a>

* 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>

  ### Connect Minecraft Servers to BungeeCord <a href="#block-b3443ab8771c46b8817a4c3b1f874b1c" id="block-b3443ab8771c46b8817a4c3b1f874b1c"></a>

  * 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.<br>

    * 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
    ```
