It saddens my heart to make this post, but after a year of operating, I no longer have time to run my Minecraft community. I didn't want to sell it but I need a new owner who is going to give the community the time and attention that it needs to truly thrive.
TLDR:
- Waterfall / Bungee setup with hub and three servers
- Economy Survival, Vanilla Survival, Parkour, Hub, Waterfall Server
- Custom coded ghost website setup (http://kastcraft.net/)
- Domain
- Logo, Icon, 4 Custom rank icons, 5 custom crate icons
- 1400+ member, active Discord server.
- ~10-15 concurrent players, ~50-75 unique users per day.
- Owned by a YouTuber
- Instagram with 400 followers
- $10,000 in donations (lifetime), $6,000 in 2020.
You aren't merely purchasing some files and some players. This is a well-established community with some of the most dedicated and loyal players I have ever seen. The passion that the community has for KastCraft is unmatched and that is something you need to keep in mind when considering this deal. On top of this, there are 5-10 videos that I still have up on my YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/c/robokastgaming) (380k) in which I mentioned KastCraft in a shoutout. There is a lot of unmeasurable value in his community and it has a lot of potential with proper time allocation and management.
Economy Survival
Public Plugins
1) 65-70 plugins are public and are available on Spigot, but they are all custom-configured to work well with KastCraft as a whole.
2) There are 50+ custom made Deluxe Menus to implement some of the systems that we have in KastCraft. These included our monthly puchasable cosmetics drops, job level progression system, server shops, donor rank breakdown, and much, much more.
3) Donor ranks are non-pay-to-win and all donor perks can be obtained for free by using an in-game currency known as tokens.
4) There are no paid gambling crates on the server, only a vote crate and some crates that give rewards based on the journal plugin mentioned below.
5) Some of the public plugins that we have require you to purchase licenses from the Spigot store as we cannot sell them.
Custom Plugins
1) 10-15 custom plugins were made by our in-house developer. He is one of the best private developers in the industry and his plugins are made with heart. Here are some of them:
Journals - infinitely repeatable, pooled random quests that give configurable rewards once the journals are completed
Player Warps - we didn't like any of the player warp plugins so we have a custom made, simplified version of them
Repair - custom, simple repair plugin that allows you to charge in-game money to repair any item in your hand or all of the tools and armor in your entire inventory, for a configurable cost
Xray - a custom x-ray use detection plugin that notifies the staff team when a configurable amount of ore blocks are broken within a configurable amount of time
Reputation - a plugin that gives players a "currency" known as reputation with a command when needed. This does not currently have a purpose but one can easily be added.
Suffix - a plugin that allows for custom suffixes to be given to players as cosmetics
Scoreboard - a simplified scoreboard plugin that removes all the extra garbage found in most of the public ones
Perks - this one is going to take some discussions with our developer to figure out how it is going to work when moving to a new owner, because it is hardcoded. However, this plugin allows you to set a piece of lore to give specific buffs or abilities, and then when you add that lore to an item or tool, that item will then have the buffs
There are also some unused plugins such as corporations that give loads of unique buffs as your company earns value, a custom objective-based rankup plugin, a custom lottery plugin, and much more. DM for more information.
Builds
All of the builds on the economy server are custom, with a custom-built spawn and PVP arena, made by our in-house builder.
Vanilla Survival
The vanilla survival server is very simple, and is purely vanilla. It only has a land claiming plugin and a few quality of life things. But, people do still play on it every once in a while so it is important that I mention it.
Parkour
The parkour server is a work in progress but it is fully configured and can very easily be expanded upon. There are 8 custom parkour builds and courses that are already configured, and 4 more that are built but that have not been set up yet. There is a custom spawn build and chat is linked with the other servers. This server has a lot of potential but I haven't had the time to make it as great as it can be.
Donations
Our server has made a total of $10,560.25 through our Tebex webstore since we opened about a year ago. Our 2020 sales are $6,347.20. The tebex store does not have a custom template but it is set up and ready to go. We have recently removed gambling crates from the server due to the fact that I didn't like them, so donations have gone down quite a bit recently but it can easily be increased. There are quite a few people who would definitely donate more if they had something to spend their money on, but I never did this for money so I didn't push donations very heavily.
The server has been pretty damn expensive to run and develop, so even with all of these sales, I have basically broke even. However, most of these costs were the expensive initial development costs and the fact that we removed crates made it to where we had considerably less income coming in.
Current Costs:
- Dedicated Hosting = $175/mo (you can definitely get it considerably cheaper but I didn't want to go through the effort of switching hosts)
- Ghost / Website = $348/year (set to renew in July. you can host it yourself for much cheaper)
- Domain / Email = $6/mo
Website
We are using ghost to host and maintain our website and while it is pretty simple, there are a lot of ways in which you can utilize it even further. The theme is completely custom made by one of the best developers in the community and it looks extremely nice.
Player Count
We are currently averaging 10-15 concurrent players at any given time with zero advertising whatsoever and a lack of updates or engaging community events. When we were actively advertising and maintaining the community, we had 30-50 players on at any given time.
Throughout the span of a normal day we get between 50-75 unique players and average about 500 unique votes per month.
There are a few hundred long-time, dedicated players who would most definitely join back if they had something engaging to do, but since the server has been stagnant for a few months they are just sitting there waiting.
Pricing
- $750 starting bid
- $50 bid increments
- $2,000 BIN (negotionable)
Please don't waste your time arguing in the replies about the server. If you don't want it, don't buy it. I want someone who sees the value in the server and someone who is going to run it well.
This is the gist and I am more than willing to answer any questions you have. Feel free to add me on Discord or message me on Twitter. RoboKast#0069 or @ RoboKast on Twitter
