What Is It?

BungeeCord (created by the SpigotMC team) is a proxy designed to seamlessly connect multiple Minecraft servers together, allowing players to navigate between them without leaving the game.

BungeeCord is compatible with Spigot, Purpur, PaperMC, and any Spigot fork. It will NOT function on Forge/Fabric or vanilla servers.

What is it useful for?

BungeeCord is very beneficial for server administrators that want to separate their server’s activities (such as minigames, creative, survival, and so on). BungeeCord is utilized and trusted by notable servers such as Hypixel, Mineplex, HiveMC, and much more.

BungeeCord Commands

You can find a list of BungeeCord commands here.

In Game

Players, including you (of course), can easily teleport to the other servers on your network by using the /server command in-game. Then they can use their cursor to click on the server they want to go to. They can also do /server <name>, like /server lobby.

This command requires the bungeecord.command.server permission which is granted to everyone by default.
