BungeePackFix & Multilobby systems for large networks

xRebelD

Hey. We're hosting quite a large number of players (especially during peak hours) and our network needs a multilobby system where we can divide our players in multiple hubs so that one doesn't get overloaded with hundreds of connections at a time. Wondering how we could set this up if we're already using BungeePackFix on our main lobby. Would it be possible to set multiple "principal" servers? Would a potential solution be routing the players so that they all pass through "Lobby 1 - The Principal Server" before being transported to lobbies 2&3 for example? This would increase the loading time for players which I'd like to avoid in all honesty.

You can specify the authentication server that your players log into as the main server. So instead of making lobbies the main server, you will make the server you are logged into as the main server, so you probably don't need to make your other servers the main server.

Example Scenario;

The player connects to your server.
The member is redirected to the Authentication Server for login.
Installs the resource pack on this server and then logs in.
The MultiLobby plugin directs the player to one of the available lobbies.

In this way, your players will have installed the resource pack on the verification server and will not need to install the resource pack on other lobby servers.

It's worth a try 😃
