BungeeCord Won't Start

If your BungeeCord or Waterfall server is not starting, there could be a few reasons as to why. When experiencing an unknown issue with your Minecraft server, the first thing you should do is look at your server console for errors to help troubleshoot the problem.

Common Causes

The most common causes of a broken BungeeCord server are errors with config.yml.

When setting up a BungeeCord/Waterfall server, you are required to edit this file to complete the setup process. If you make any errors in this file, it will break your server.

• An error with the formatting in your config.yml file - This file requires YAML formatting which means a specific way that the file has to be edited so that the server can read it correctly. Simply, a misplaced comma (,) can break one of these files meaning your server will not startup.

• The IP configured in your config.yml file is incorrect - We recommend using one of the proxy server types we have available on the control panel as it will automatically resolve this error.
