Bungee Mode

Set Bungee-Enabled: true in config.yml to use TNT Tag as a dedicated network game server. Configure only one arena on that backend.

Behavior Changes

• Players are automatically routed into the configured arena flow.
• Normal random-arena joining is disabled.
• Backend join and quit announcements are suppressed.
• The server-list MOTD can expose the arena’s current state.
• At game end, players either connect to the configured hub or queue for another game.
• Arena sign setup is unnecessary on the dedicated game server.

Setup Checklist

1. Create and fully test the single arena before enabling Bungee mode.
2. Match bungee.yml’s Hub value to the proxy server name.
3. Confirm backend-to-proxy plugin messaging is available.
4. Enable and test the MOTD state formats.
5. Verify leave, kick, server shutdown, natural win, and draw routing.

Do not expose the backend directly to players. Network authentication and forwarding must be configured correctly at the proxy and Paper layers.
