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, which you can get by splitting your resources on UltraServers between 3 separate servers. Your first server will be used as the Bungee server, the second as the Hub, and the third as the game mode of your choice. You can use more servers if you require more than one game mode on your server. You will need one server that hosts the Bungeecord file.

Set up the BungeeCord Server

Begin by downloading the BungeeCord proxy jar file from the official SpigotMC website or other trusted sources. Ensure that the version you download is compatible with your Minecraft server version.
Place the Bungeecord file inside your UltraServers 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:
<your gamertag>:
-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 UUID, and port for each server.
The Server UUID can be found in the 1 Overview tab of the server in question.

Click the 2 Server UUID to copy it to your clipboard.

The server section of your config should look something like this:

servers:
  Hub:
    motd: '&1Just another BungeeCord - Forced Host'
    address: 12683ffu-k39h-fj39-29jn-7e721537f8f:25565
    restricted: false
  Survival:
   motd: '&1Just another BungeeCord - Forced Host'
    address: 68274abc-f45e-4e5c-99ff-7e7215303e6d:25565
    restricted: false
  Factions:
   motd: '&1Just another BungeeCord - Forced Host'
    address: 38473dec-vb82-fk39-33jf-7e7215303k9f:25565
    restricted: false

Save the changes made to the configuration file.

Launch the BungeeCord Server

Start the BungeeCord server on your UltraServers dashboard
Test the setup by connecting to the BungeeCord server using the Minecraft client and the IP address of your server. You should be able to connect to the linked Minecraft servers by using the server switching commands provided by BungeeCord (e.g., /server <server_name>).
Monitor the server console and check for any errors or warnings. If any issues arise, review your configuration files and ensure they are set up correctly.
