## What it is
BungeeCord is a layer 7 proxy server that links multiple Minecraft servers together, teleporting players between them while maintaining connections and transport. It provides an expansive plugin API for extending functionality and is maintained by SpigotMC as free, open-source software.

## Use cases
- connect multiple minecraft servers into one network
- proxy players between minecraft game modes
- run a minecraft server network with shared hub
- link spigot servers behind a single ip
- load balance minecraft server connections
- create a minecraft bungee network with plugins
- teleport players across backend minecraft servers
- host multiple minecraft servers under one address

## When to choose
- you need to link several Minecraft servers behind a single entry point
- you want players to switch between game modes or worlds without reconnecting
- you need a plugin API to customize server network behavior
- you run a large Minecraft network and need efficient connection handling
- you want free, open-source proxy software maintained by SpigotMC

## When to avoid
- you run only a single Minecraft server with no need for linking
- you cannot secure backend servers with a firewall since they must run in offline mode
- you need a general-purpose proxy unrelated to Minecraft
- you want a fully managed hosted solution rather than self-hosted software
