Our verdict on HexaCord

HexaCord is an open-source Minecraft server proxy based on BungeeCord. It connects multiple Minecraft servers into one network and lets players move between them through commands. The project is intended for operators managing self-hosted networks, with support for Linux, Windows, and macOS. Its strongest fit is a legacy network that needs a BungeeCord-compatible architecture, server switching, and a path for plugin extensions rather than a hosted control panel or newer-version proxy.

The feature set focuses on network connection and extension points. HexaCord includes an API for plugin extensions and a modular Maven project structure, which suits operators or developers who want to adapt the proxy within a Java-oriented project workflow. Basic Minecraft 1.7.10 Forge support broadens its use for older modded configurations, while the core compatibility range covers Minecraft 1.7.X through 1.11.X. That version range is also the central constraint: networks built around newer Minecraft releases should look for an alternative with corresponding compatibility.

HexaCord is distributed as source code through a public GitHub repository and uses a self-hosted deployment model. That gives operators control over where the proxy runs, but it also means the network owner is responsible for deployment, configuration, updates, and day-to-day operation. Choose HexaCord when an open-source BungeeCord-based proxy matches an older Minecraft stack and plugin customization matters. Choose another product when you need documented support for newer Minecraft versions, broader Forge coverage, or a managed hosting experience.
