How to connect Bungeecord to Paper servers

Support Fin Updated 2 Oct 2026 152 views

By default you need to manually connect your paper / backend servers to your proxy!

Step 1

We need to configure all your backend servers to support the bungeecord proxy

On you paper server(s), go to the spigot.yml and set bungeecord to

bungeecord: true

Next in the server.properties file, ensure that online-mode is set to false

Note: you have to do this on all backend servers

Step 2

On your bungeecord server, find the file in the main directory called config.yml, here is where you will find a server section. Here you need to spesify every server

Here is the structure of the server section

servers:
  NAME-OF-SERVER:
    address: SERVER-IP
    motd: 'MOTD / SHORT DESCRIPTION'
    restricted: false - keep this

Here is an example:

servers:
  lobby:
    address: play.atomichost.xyz:0001
    motd: '&1Lobby Server'
    restricted: false
  survival:
    address: play.atomichost.xyz:0002
    motd: '&1Survival Server'
    restricted: false

Lastly, restart both the proxy and all your back end servers, and then everything should work!
