Hi. I'm Joedon, the owner of Emerald Prison - an OP Prison server that was in operation a few years back. Right now, the server is completely offline and our Discord is barren. I have recently been looking to rebuild and modernize the server in order to create and revive a truly unique Prison experience. My team and I are now searching for a strong developer with experience with Skyblock island generations, or private mine generations, to help us out. We are looking for someone who can help create a server and brand so incredible that it will eventually become synonymous with the Prison genre itself; we want Emerald Prison to be the defacto realm for players who are seeking a top-of-the-line Minecraft Prison experience. Maybe you'll be able to help us out on this endeavor!
REQUIREMENTS:
- Strong knowledge of modern OP Prison servers, preferably have played some lately!
- Specialty in dealing with server instancing, preferably private mine systems or Skyblock island generation systems that may require multiple servers to run efficiently.
- Tangible and deep experience with: Java, MySQL, MongoDB, and Git. Non-OOP languages are a plus, and work outside of Minecraft is a major plus. Same goes for web experience.
- We do not have a "years of experience" requirement - we need actual proof of what you've worked on in the past. "I worked for XY Prison and did Z" is not gonna cut it.
- We do not have an age requirement, but you will need to have the capacity to operate as if you were of legal age (i.e. using PayPal, signing contracts).
- Have developed with older Minecraft versions in the past (some of our plugins were built on Spigot 1.8/1.9 and will need to be updated).
- Are familiar with technical advancements within Minecraft/Spigot/Paper over the past couple of years, and have a keen eye for ideas of how to implement new features in a Prison setting.
- When contacting us, mention your favorite flavor of ice cream to show you actually read through this. You'll be ignored if you don't.
- Familiarity with different monetization schemes across servers and other games.
- C1 level of English proficiency or higher.
- Ability to work around 20 hours a week for up to the next month.
If you do not meet all of these requirements in full and still contact us, you will be ignored. We are looking for serious inquiries only from those who know they are surely fit for this position.
YOUR ROLE:
- You will audit, stress test, and implement improvements to our current private mines codebase. This includes everything from schematic generation, managing 3D models and animations, and sophisticated mathematics to efficiently create mine spaces and other experiences for the player.
- Be able to futureproof the codebase. As it stands, we will only be using one dedicated server to run everything and hope to support ~250 players concurrently, but past that point, we will need to ensure that it will be possible in the future to swiftly upgrade the codebase, and make sure the private mines plugin will work between multiple instances without bugs due to poor code.
- Due to the nature of auditing, this job could take you anywhere from an estimated 5 to 40 hours to complete, which should be able to be completed by you within 2 weeks at max.
- During this process, you will be providing the rest of our team and developers updates & explanations for what you are changing, and why things are being changed.
- After the private mines are deemed complete by you and our team, there may be additional positions available for you to fill, however, there is no guarantee for this as of now.
PAYMENTS:
- Completely negotiable based on experience and efficiency. Expect a static downpayment, followed by a bigger final payment after completion.
- OR, you can choose to receive a % cut of all store revenue once the server releases this winter as an incentive to help shape the overall vision for our server.
EXPECTED OF ALL EMERALD PRISON STAFF:
- Excitement to design and develop modern Prison experiences for players.
- Willingness to pitch ideas and participate in brainstorming with other team members. Voice chat is not required.
- Cannot stress the above point enough. You need to be a creative person at heart to be on this team, with an emphasis on OP Prison experiences.
If you are interested, please contact me, Joedon#0001, on Discord! In your message, be sure to:
- Mention this thread with a link, and tell me your timezone/working hours
- Show your portfolio/CV, or any proof of past experience
- Explain why you'd be a good fit for this position
If you have a clarifying question or concern that could be useful to others, please reply to this thread. Otherwise, you can PM me here.
