My History

I've been hosting Minecraft, Unturned, and various other servers for over 7 years. It started out as a simple and cheap way to play with my friends, and slowly transformed into hosting elaborate, multi-server networks, sponsored by real companies.

The little things are important.

Player Retention

It's important to keep a loyal player-base. Player retention can be achieved through various ways, all with differing complexity.

Grief Prevention

Some players are just looking to cause trouble. Prevent that before it happens with protection systems, and better punish malicious players with better logging tools.

Player Experience

Quality of life changes are incredibly important to retaining players. Servers that are hard to navigate, or difficult to understand, do nothing but drive players away.

Staff Panels & In-Game GUIs

Players have hundreds of thousands of servers to choose from. It's essential to ensure yours stands out by offering the easiest navigation and providing players with the best experience. In-game GUIs are the most popular choice for aiding players in navigating your server. Utilizing plugins like ChestCommands is crucial for giving your server a professional feel.

While prioritizing the player experience is crucial, a good server also requires an efficient staff team. Simplify training, minimize confusion, and streamline your staff's day-to-day tasks by providing them with specialized tools. Various tools can be configured to facilitate easier management of your server for both you and your staff.

  • Forums
  • Server status
  • Stores (Sell ranks! Make money!)
  • Player Management GUIs

Minecraft Bungeecord (multiple servers!)

BungeeCord serves as a proxy between a client and a network of Minecraft servers. Through BungeeCord, players can utilize commands to traverse between different servers, each of which can be configured with specific permissions to control access.

BungeeCord efficiently distributes the load of a player population across multiple servers, making full use of multiple CPU cores and servers. It also allows for the segregation of servers based on your needs, such as Survival, Creative, Minigames, and more.

Nearly all popular servers utilize BungeeCord to balance the considerable influx of connected players. Additionally, it facilitates the management of bans, kicks, mutes, and other disciplinary actions.

Administration Panels & Hosting

Server Administration Panels simplify the secure management of your server across multiple nodes, accessible from any location. Tools such as Pterodactyl Panel, PufferPanel, and others offer a range of features including web-console, web-file manager, SFTP, and many more, enabling comprehensive server management directly from a web panel.

  • Containerise your network with Docker
  • Configured, professional hosting panels (like Pterodactyl panel!)
  • Increase security with Docker-based Containerisation
  • Easily manage multiple nodes
  • Easily configure player & staff permissions with GUIs
