From SpigotMC

Distribute your players across multiple servers. Advanced features and very customizable

OrN21kR.png
PlayerBalancer is a BungeeCord plugin for setting up a network with multiple lobbies of different types. You can customize nearly everything in this plugin. You have lots of features, including commands to move across sections, kick handler (kick2lobby), server checking, section servers, target assignation, multiple providers, and RedisBungee support among other things.

Features:

  • Balancer: Balances the load of your players on your sections. When a player connects to a server in other section, the plugin may move the player to another server in that section.
  • Kick Handler: Players that get kicked from a server can get moved to other servers. You can configure it so it only works when they get kicked with a certain message.
  • Fallback Command: Essentially /hub, /lobby. This command allows players to connect to the parent of the section they are currently in, or the principal if not in a section.
  • Server Checking: The plugin makes sure the server the player is going to be connected to is online. You can also make the plugin mark servers as non-accessible when they have a certain motd.
  • Fallback Command: This command allows players to connect to the parent of the section they are connected to currently. You can also pass a number to the command to get connected to a specific server.
  • Section Command: Comparable to Slash Server. This command allows players to connect to a specific section. This section can have one or more servers.
  • Section Server: Creates a fake server on BungeeCord that is used to connect to a section by just connecting to that server, it shows the sum of players of the servers in that section.
  • Spigot Addon: This allows plugins on the spigot servers to access commands from PlayerBalancer (with /spb), it also includes a PlaceholderAPI placeholder (%pb_pc_section%) for a total of all the players connected to servers of a section. This is available as a different resource, download it for free here
  • Permission Router: When using this feature, it moves players when connecting to a certain section while having a certain permission, to another section. This is very helpful if you want to make a special lobby section for players with special permissions.
  • Plugin API for developers to get access to data from the plugin, both from the spigot side and from the bungeecord side. This allows the included addon to work.
  • Very configurable, take a look at the configuration, you will see there are a lot of options for you to configure and more to come.
  • Well optimized and tested on many networks, you can take a look at the statistics for this plugin here (old metrics) or here (new metrics)
Commands:
  • The fallback command, it moves you from your current section to a server of the parent section.
  • The section command, a command you can set to a section and when it is executed you get connected to that section.
  • (/balancer) The plugin command, which allows you to safely reload the plugin and quickly upload the configuration of the plugin to pastebin to quickly get support.
  • (/section) The section management command, which allows you to make a player connect to a section, get info about a section and their servers and a list of sections with click events for enhancing use. This is the shown info when executing /section info.

Note: The administrative commands require you to have the permission "playerbalancer.admin"​

Configuration:
Code (Text):

# PlayerBalancer Configuration (https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/10788/)
# Read the comments, they are a very important part of the configuration
# To get support send me a private message with a description of the problem and the config file
# To easily paste the config file (and other relevant files) use the command /balancer paste
# If the plugin has issues loading the configuration, try putting quotes around text

general {
  # IMPORTANT! Set this to true after configuring the plugin!
  enabled=false

  # When true, the plugin will reload when you execute /greload
