Connect Your Minecraft Servers โ Without Proxies
ServerConnect is a lightweight and easy-to-use plugin that links multiple Paper and Spigot servers together without requiring Velocity, BungeeCord, Waterfall, or any other proxy software.
Create a seamless Minecraft network with:
- ๐ฌ Global Chat
- ๐ Network-wide Join & Leave Messages
- ๐ Shared Player Counts
- ๐ Death & Advancement Synchronization
- โ๏ธ Cross-Server Private Messaging
- ๐ Paper Server Transfers

Whether your servers are hosted on dedicated machines, VPSs, home servers, or through services like playit.gg and Ngrok, ServerConnect keeps your entire network synchronized.
โจ Features
๐ฌ Global Network Chat
Chat with players across every connected server.
No matter where they are, everyone shares the same conversation.
๐ Network Join & Leave Messages
Broadcast joins and quits across your entire network.
Fully configurable per server.
You can even choose to only display messages when players join the HUB server.
๐ Paper Server Transfers
Transfer players between servers using:

ServerConnect uses the modern Paper Transfer API for smooth server switching without a proxy.
๐ Shared Global Player Count

๐ Simple Setup (HUB & NODE)
ServerConnect uses a straightforward HUB & NODE system.
๐ HUB (The Boss)
Choose one server to act as the central network hub.
Typically this is your lobby server.
Setup

mode: HUB

auth-key

bind-port: 25560
in your firewall.
๐ ๏ธ NODE (The Helpers)
For every additional server:

Example:
Steve (Lobby)
Alex (Survival)

ServerConnect automatically fills slots with players from all connected servers.
