Spoiler: Configuration

At first you need to add server named "hub" to your BungeeConfig. This server should not be real, so you don't really need to have it running. Just add it with any IP and port combination and make it default so all connected players will go to "hub". Then you need to name all your hub servers with this pattern: "hub<number>". At the start plugin will mark all this servers as hub.
