# Bungeecord/Network Setup

## Requirements

{% hint style="danger" %}
**You must have a punishment plugin that supports external databases I recommend using LiteBans or AdvancedBans as these both have the options which are required.**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**You will also need a MySQL Database (If your punishment plugin supports another database you may use this). I will not go through how to make a MySQL Database in this wiki, please refer to YouTube or your Minecraft host.**
{% endhint %}

## **Setup**

**Step 1:** Backup any database or config files.<br>

**Step 2:** Place both PunishmentGUI and your punishment plugin on each **SPIGOT** server not **BUNGEECORD**.<br>

**Step 3:** Enter the MySQL details for your database into your punishment plugin's config file. <br>

{% hint style="info" %}
The below example config.yml is from LiteBans, though most plugins will have a related section if it supports Databases.
{% endhint %}

**Before**

```
sql:
  # H2, MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL are supported database drivers.
  driver: H2

  ## MySQL/PostgreSQL settings ##
  # If using H2, the database will be stored in the LiteBans plugin folder,
  # and most of these settings won't apply.

  # Database server address.
  address: localhost:3306

  # Database name, username and password.
  database: 'litebans'
  username: ''
  password: ''

  table_prefix: 'litebans_'

```

**After**

```
sql:
  # H2, MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL are supported database drivers.
  driver: MySQL

  ## MySQL/PostgreSQL settings ##
  # If using H2, the database will be stored in the LiteBans plugin folder,
  # and most of these settings won't apply.

  # Database server address.
  address: yourmysqlport:3306

  # Database name, username and password.
  database: 'yourmysqldatabasename'
  username: 'yourmysqlusername'
  password: 'yourmysqlpassword'

  table_prefix: 'litebans_'
```

**Step 4:** Enable any settings which allow punishments to sync. *(Make sure to set the server name if the plugin allows)*

{% hint style="info" %}
The below example config.yml is from LiteBans, though most plugins will have a related section if it supports sync.
{% endhint %}

```
# If this option is enabled and the server is connected to a remote database (e.g. MySQL),
# LiteBans will synchronize across all servers connected to that database with sync enabled.
sync: true

# If enabled, broadcasts will be synchronized.
sync_broadcasts: true

# If enabled, notifications will be synchronized.
sync_notifications: true

# If enabled, dupeip notifications will be synchronized.
# This will appear multiple times if a player joins multiple servers, so you might want to leave this disabled.
sync_dupeip_notifications: false

# The server name is an identifier used in cross-server synchronization.
# It represents a single plugin instance (or group of instances) and can be updated at any time.
# If you need per-server bans, you have to change server_name on all instances
# The "$serverScope" and "$serverOrigin" variables can be used in messages.
# Maximum length is 32 characters.
server_name: 'litebans'
```

**Step 5:** Repeat the process on every **SPIGOT** server, if you had your punishment plugin on bungeecord you must remove it.&#x20;

**You can now use PunishmentGUI and your punishment plugin on your network!**<br>

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note, this will only sync punishments, **PunishmentGUI** does not support sync of its configuration, so you must edit each server individually, or copy + paste your created PunishmentGUI config to each **SPIGOT** server.
