Hey, I’m Zenologia. I set up, configure, and optimize Minecraft servers — from a blank machine to a polished, launch-ready experience your players will actually stick around for. Whether you’re starting a brand-new server, untangling a messy plugin folder, or chasing down TPS drops nobody can explain, I’ll get it running clean, fast, and exactly the way you want it.
Same philosophy as my plugin work — fewer things, done right. Not the cheapest, but probably the most thoughtful you’ll work with at this price point.
-----
- Full Server Setups from Scratch — survival/SMP, lifesteal, skyblock, minigames, creative, anything else you can dream up. Plugins selected, configured, and branded; permissions built; spawn-ready on delivery. All server types included
- Optimization & Lag Fixing — spark profiling, timings analysis, paper-global.yml / spigot.yml / bukkit.yml tuning, entity and chunk limits, world pre-generation, JVM flags — real diagnosis, not a copy-pasted “optimization guide”
- Plugin Configuration & Polish — menus, messages, scoreboards, tab lists, ranks, join/leave flow — consistent branding and formatting across the entire server, not a patchwork of plugin defaults
- Permissions Done Properly — LuckPerms trees with sane inheritance, contexts, and prefixes/suffixes that won’t fight your chat plugin
- Proxy & Network Setup — Velocity with modern forwarding, multi-server networks, hub routing, queue-friendly architecture (Velocity only — I have not worked on Bungeecord and don’t intend to)
- Mod & Modpack Server Configs — server-side mod configuration, performance mod stacks, and pack tuning for modded servers
-----
- Platform: Paper (primary specialty) — including the latest 26.x releases on Java 25
- Legacy support: Paper 1.8+ / Spigot / Bukkit when your project calls for it
- Modded: server-side mod configs and performance tuning for modded setups
- Proxy: Velocity, modern forwarding, multi-backend networks
- Permissions: LuckPerms — groups, tracks, contexts, meta
- Polish: MiniMessage, PlaceholderAPI, custom menus, TAB/scoreboard styling
- Diagnostics: spark profiling, timings reports, GC and startup flag review
- Storage: MySQL/MariaDB and SQLite-backed plugin stacks, configured for async-friendly behavior
-----
- Configured like I own it. Every message, menu, and rank styled consistently — your branding, your voice, no leftover plugin defaults peeking through
- Optimization with receipts. Before/after profiling reports so you can see exactly what changed and why — not just a lowered view distance and a prayer
- No plugin bloat. I’d rather solve a problem with one well-configured plugin than five overlapping ones eating your RAM
- Documentation comes with the setup. What’s installed, why it’s installed, what each config controls, and how to maintain it after handover. You don’t have to guess
- Update-safe configs. Backups before any change, and a clear record of what was modified — your customizations don’t get nuked when something updates. Setups built in my environment stay backed up on my end for 6 months after delivery
- Built by someone who develops plugins. I write custom Paper plugins too — so when configs hit their limit, I know exactly where that line is and what’s possible beyond it

Want a feel for how I structure configs, document setups, and lay out a project? My portfolio has the full picture — real projects, real servers, real results.

1. Reach out — DM me here, hop in my Discord, or email through my site. Describe your server in your own words; I’ll ask follow-up questions to fill in the gaps.
1. Scoping doc & quote — for anything non-trivial I’ll send back a short scoping document covering the plugin stack, configs, permissions structure, and any network architecture, plus a fixed quote and a rough timeline. We adjust until it matches what you actually need.
1. Payment & build — setups built in my own environment are 50% up front, with the remaining 50% due before delivery; work performed live on your machine or hosting (configuration, optimization, on-server builds) is paid in full before work begins. Everything is fully refundable until work actually starts. Either way, I keep you in the loop with progress notes; you don’t go dark for two weeks wondering what’s happening.
1. Test & deliver — you get the full setup, documentation, and a quick handover walking you through everything that was configured and why.
1. Post-delivery support — fixes for issues within the original scope are free: 45 days for full server setups, 7 days for configuration, optimization, and proxy work. New features, additional configuration, and fixes outside the support window are subject to a separate quote.

Rates are affordable and quote-based — I price per project, not per hour, so you know the number before I start. A quick optimization pass, a full network launch, an ongoing partnership — different scopes, different prices, no surprises.
DM with a description of your server and I’ll get you a quote within 24 hours.

Got a server to launch — or one that needs saving? Let’s get it running right.
Thanks for reading. Looking forward to building something great with you.
