Summary
BungeeCord is a popular Minecraft server proxy software that allows players to connect to multiple Minecraft servers from a single IP address. BungeeCord operates as a middleman between Minecraft servers, intercepting and redirecting player connections. It allows players to move seamlessly between different servers, even running different game modes. BungeeCord is also highly customizable, with many plugins and configuration options available.
| Note | BungeeCord requires a minimum of three servers. One server will run BungeeCord, while two or more servers will be connected to the network. |
| Note | Installing BungeeGuard to protect BungeeCord servers from malicious attacks is highly recommended. |
