Project Narses
Who We Are:
Project Narses is a Minecraft experience that's currently in development. The design goals of the project include conquest, massive battles, and a player-driven economy. The main focus of the server is players fighting for control of valuable in-game territory that produces resources, with dozens of player-controlled entities locked in a never-ending struggle for supremacy.
We envision a server where the player’s actions matter and even the smallest conflict impacts the world. We aim to provide players with the tools they need drive the narrative and create content, with emergent gameplay being a priority.
Our project is fully self-funded and self-hosted, and not strictly for-profit; we’re here to revolutionize what Minecraft is capable of, and we’re looking for competent, mature professionals to join our team and share in the dream.
Why Narses?:
- A truly different server concept.
- A strong and growing team of 13 members and counting.
- Team structure that focuses on empowering and creatively motivating our team members.
- A robust back-end with support staff that enables you to collaborate smoothly.
- Strong management with clear, well-defined goals.
- Cutting-edge technology in the Minecraft space, including using a total rewrite of Minecraft’s server with multithreading.
Who Are We Looking For?:
Builders: Our project will include a pre-made map with many unique locations. This role is more entry-level than the other positions, and will require the ability to work well within a team and follow directions. Your job would be to work with the build lead and the rest of the team to make the map come to life.
We would like to see a portfolio of any past experience you have. Experience with map editors and tools such as WorldPainter, VoxelSniper, World Edit, etc. is a plus. An internal build server for you to create on will be provided.
As a builder, you:
- Work with the build lead and build team to make the project’s flavor and concepts come to life in Minecraft
- Understand how to plan and conceptualize a build
- Creatively use Minecraft’s blocks to design beautiful, unique structures and terrain
- Build the map, specific locations, and unique terrain with PvP and player conflict in mind
Game Designers: As a game designer, you will be responsible for helping to figure out the specifics regarding core gameplay mechanics on the server, and will collaborate with our developers to ensure the vision comes to life. No formal coding or plugin experience is required, but having an understanding of what's possible in Minecraft is important.
As a game designer, you:
- Think creatively about systems and gameplay loops
- Communicate well with others
- Understand how to see things from the players’ perspective and design with them in mind

Java Developers: As a plugin developer, you will work with our experienced development team to bring the core concepts of the project to life. Experience with Java and plugin development is a must, as well as examples of previous plugins/development work.
This is a very important role, and you will work closely with the designers and leads to ensure that the plugin needs of the server are met. You will be collaborating with a strong group of professionals just like yourself, and will have plenty of room to experiment with a development server suited for your needs.
As a plugin developer, you:
- Possess collaboration skills and an understanding of how to work with a team
- Have experience with git and similar collaboration tools.
