**EaglercraftX 1.8's server is a BungeeCord/Waterfall PLUGIN, not an entire "fork" of bungeecord like the 1.5 Eaglerbungee was, and I can't believe I have to clarify this too but the EaglerXBungee 1.8 plugin is not compatible with the old 1.5 bungee, you must migrate to the latest version of official BungeeCord/Waterfall to use it**
Simply set up the latest version of BungeeCord or Waterfall and download [EaglerXBungee-Latest.jar](https://gitlab.com/lax1dude/eaglercraftx-1.8/-/raw/main/gateway/EaglercraftXBungee/EaglerXBungee-Latest.jar) and place it in the plugins directory.
Then to actually log in to the server with Eaglercraft, first join your server using vanilla Minecraft Java Edition 1.8 and run the new `/eagler` command to set a password. Then leave the server and switch to your EaglercraftX client.
Set your EaglercraftX username to the same username as the vanilla minecraft account you set the password with, then when you try to join your server it will present you with a login screen where you can enter the password you set. If the password is correct it will let you join the server.
If it is required for testing purposes, you can set `online_mode` to `false` on BungeeCord/Waterfall's config.yml to disable password system and join the server without setting a password like the old Eaglercraft. This should never be used in production because it allows you to play without owning a Minecraft account which violates the TOS.
There is currently no system in place to make forks of 1.8 and merge commits made to the patch files in this repository with the patch files or workspace of the fork, you're on your own if you try to keep a fork of this repo for reasons other than to contribute to it
