Hi everyone!

I’m offering volunteer development time to a small, established SMP (or adjacent).

For the last six or so years, I’ve worked on larger Minecraft systems: network systems, minigames (too much math ;-; ), RPG systems, and backend infrastructure. While I still really enjoy that work, I’m looking for a slightly smaller/quieter project that is more community focused.

The arrangement is simple- you get dedicated engineering hours and any custom content/code; I get to build for a tight knit server and stay close to the community the work is for.

What I can offer:
  • No payment required; I’m doing this because I enjoy Minecraft development
  • anywhere from 10 to 30 hours per week
  • I’m not looking to play (no conflict of interest); I’m happiest in Intellij working on gameplay systems, features, optimizations, QoL features, content systems, whatever.
  • 10 years in Minecraft, 6 years in building servers/development
  • see portfolio for a (non exhaustive) list of previous work: http://portfolio.harold.sh/
What I’m looking for:
  • An Active Community- I want to help a server that is already running and has active players. I am not worried about player count- as long as you have players that are passionate about your community, I'd love to help. Bonus if your Discord has active voice
  • SMP or SMP adjacent is ideal (RPG, RP, etc.)
  • Open minded/mature leadership- comfortable with custom solutions, able to hold discussions maturely, not only configuring public plugins, etc.
  • I’d prefer to focus on one server; I’m happy to start with a 2-4 week test trial or start with an idea you have. If we continue after that, great; if not, you’ll still have clean code, docs, and a proper handoff.
If you reach out, please include:
  1. Server version and average online count
  2. Current plugin stack (brief overview is good)
  3. Top 3 pain points/ideas you want solved first
  4. Discord activity: do people regularly chat and hop in voice?
  5. Timezone of your server/playerbase
If your server is already healthy but could use a dedicated developer to polish it, please reach out! I’d love to talk.
