Hi, I'm Stimmie.

I've been running
Minecraft servers
for 10 years.

Survival SMPs, modded setups for friends, and university communities. I just like making places for people to play together.

10+ Years
40K+ Players
8+ Servers

A bit of background.

I started making servers when I was 13 just to play with friends, but it eventually became a serious hobby. Learned Linux, Java, and Docker along the way.

My biggest project was HearthCraft, a server that ran for 7 years and had over 40,000 players join. I handled the infrastructure and custom plugins, and worked alongside an amazing staff team to manage the community.

I'm used to dealing with dedicated servers, tracking down lag spikes, securing the backend, and configuring plugins so they actually fit what the players want.

Software Engineering

I also do normal programming stuff like web apps and data science. Check out my GitHub.

Docs

I helped write guides for Bloom.host.

What I work with.

🖥️

Servers & Hosting

Setting up Linux boxes from scratch. Mostly using Docker and Pterodactyl these days.

Fixing Lag

Keeping the server at 20 TPS. Reading Spark profiles, tuning JVM flags, and limiting chunk hoppers.

🔌

Plugins & Configs

Writing custom Java plugins when needed, and spending hours in YAML files getting setups right.

🛡️

Security

Basic firewall rules, configuring LuckPerms properly, and dealing with anti-cheats.

🌐

Proxies & DNS

Linking servers with Velocity or BungeeCord. Pointing domains and setting up SRV records.

👥

Community

Handling the human side. Staff management, Discord bots, and dealing with player reports.
