MCHub

Primary gameplay developer across the network.

Top contributor to the gameplay codebase, working in Groovy on the prison and skyblock servers and in Java on the standalone dungeons plugin.

Shipped major gameplay systems.

Skin trade-up, crates, battle passes, pets, totems, robots, gangs, and more, with new multipliers and bonuses wired into every path they should affect so they stack correctly.

Built the dungeons gamemode’s content.

Ascension enchants, sword-skin cosmetics with tier buffs and abilities, flying scrolls, coinflip wagering, a shared guild vault, and bosses that chase players through their dungeons.

Ran recurring live events.

A community boss framework and in-game mayor elections (weekend voting, live vote bars, bribes), plus weekly rotating limited crates and skins.

Protected the in-game economy from dupes.

Trades, loadouts, and reward redemptions run through an anti-dupe controller, and trade-up avoids items entirely by writing balances directly behind a per-player lock. Read the full breakdown →

Built a granular feature-flag system.

Every feature, and every breakable slice of it, gets its own flag, so a broken system can be switched off live in production without a restart. Read the full breakdown →

Optimized the server’s hot paths.

Profile with LagFinder and spark, then cut the waste: cache closure lookups, avoid allocations, kill dynamic dispatch, and batch high-frequency writes. Read the full breakdown →

Kept the network smooth at scale.

Batched Redis reads with MGET, replaced KEYS scans with SCAN, built a fake-player load test, and export metrics to Grafana, with heavy work on the regionised world threads instead of one global tick.

Wrote cross-server frameworks.

A currency-multiplier registry that centralizes how currencies stack across sources, and a network-wide alert system.
