Hi! I run a Minecraft server that currently relies heavily on Skript-based custom features and several existing plugins. I recently joined another server that feels like a "perfected version" of what I’m trying to build — smoother, more polished, and better optimized. I need a Minecraft server specialist who can: Audit & Replicate — Join the reference server (IP provided via PM), identify what plugins, configurations, and mechanics they use to achieve that level of polish, and replicate the relevant setup on my server. Build from Scratch — Set up a complete survival-mode server from zero, optimized for 100–200 concurrent players with zero lag spikes. Preserve & Optimize Existing Features — Several custom features and systems already exist on my current server and must be preserved, not deleted. Your job is to migrate, refactor, or optimize them so they run lighter and more stable on the new stack. Scope of Work A. Reference Server Investigation Join the target server (IP sent via PM) and document what plugins / systems create the smooth gameplay experience. Identify their anti-cheat, economy, chat, permission, world-protection, and QoL plugins. Provide a written report of findings + recommendation on which ones fit my server vision. B. Core Server Setup Install and configure Paper (or Purpur if you recommend it for 100–200 players) on my VPS/dedicated host. Install, configure, and test: EssentialsX (chat, economy, teleport, warps, kits) WorldEdit (build team tools) LuckPerms (permission hierarchy) WorldGuard (spawn protection & region flags) Fine-tune [login to view URL], [login to view URL], [login to view URL], [login to view URL]: View distance, simulation distance, entity limits, mob spawning Tick timings, async settings, chunk loading JVM flags (G1GC tuning, heap size, etc.) Run a stress test / benchmark simulating 100+ players (or show proof of past high-population setup). C. Existing Feature Preservation & Optimization Audit my current server (configs, Skript files, plugin data) and identify which features must be kept. Migrate or refactor existing custom features so they work on the new server stack without breaking. Optimize existing Skripts / plugin configs for lower CPU/RAM usage — replace heavy loops with event-driven logic, reduce unnecessary broadcasts, consolidate repeated tasks, etc. Do NOT delete or overwrite any existing player data, economy balances, warps, homes, or custom mechanics unless explicitly approved by me. If an existing feature is too heavy to keep as-is, propose a lightweight replacement or rewrite before making changes. D. Optimization & Extras Recommend and install lightweight optimization plugins (e.g., FarmControl, Chunky for pre-generation, etc.) — only if they genuinely help sustain player load. Configure basic anti-cheat (e.g., Vulcan or GrimAC) if not already covered. Set up automatic backups (via plugin or cron script). E. Documentation A short README covering: How to safely restart the server How to update plugins without breaking configs How to restore from backup Basic LuckPerms command cheat-sheet List of preserved features and where their configs live Deliverables [ ] Fully operational survival server on my host, ready for public launch [ ] Plugin audit report from the reference server [ ] Migration report: list of preserved features + what was optimized vs. replaced [ ] All configs tested and documented [ ] Stress-test proof or benchmark screenshot [ ] Restart / update / backup README [ ] 7-day post-launch support (bug fixes & minor tweaks) Requirements Proven experience setting up Paper/Purpur servers for 100+ concurrent players Strong knowledge of Skript (reading, debugging, optimizing existing scripts is mandatory) Comfortable with Linux VPS management (SSH, screen/tmux, systemd service) Fluent English or Indonesian communication Attention to detail: you must ask before deleting any existing feature or player data Budget & Timeline Budget range: Will be discussed via PM Timeline: Will be discussed via PM Payment: Milestone-based (50% upfront, 50% after delivery + test)

Hello, I've configured high‑performance Minecraft servers for 100+ players, including Skript optimization and plugin migration. For example, a client needed to replicate a polished survival server's feel while keeping their custom Skript features. I audited the reference server, set up Paper with optimized JVM flags and configs, migrated existing features to run lighter, and added anti‑cheat and automated backups. The server ran lag‑free at 150 players. For your project, I'll join and analyze the reference server, build a zero‑lag Paper/Purpur setup, preserve and optimize your existing Skripts and plugin data, and provide full documentation. I can deliver the configured server in 2 days. Ready to receive your reference server IP and current server access? Sara

⭐Hi there ! Let's set interview schedule for ur project if you want. Your server needs a clean Paper or Purpur rebuild that preserves every existing feature while removing the lag, heavy Skript loops, and unstable configs holding it back. I can audit the reference server, map its plugin stack and mechanics, then recreate only the parts that genuinely improve gameplay. The migration will be handled safely with backups, staging tests, and data verification, so player balances, homes, warps, permissions, and custom systems don’t randomly disappear. I’ll refactor heavy Skripts into event-driven logic, tune JVM and Paper settings, pre-generate chunks, configure anti-cheat, and benchmark the stack for 100 to 200 players. You’ll also receive the audit report, migration notes, stress-test proof, backup setup, admin README, and 7 days of post-launch fixes. No yolo changes, no deleting stuff without approval, and no “works on my machine” situation. Timeline : 21 days Budget : $250 Can you share the current server version, hosting specs, plugin list, and approximate Skript file count?

Senior Full Stack Developer with 10+ years experience here — and more relevantly for your project, deep Linux VPS management and server performance optimization background. Your setup is interesting because you're essentially asking for three things that usually get done badly when handled separately: reverse-engineering what makes the reference server feel smooth, standing up a clean Paper/Purpur stack tuned for 100-200 players, and migrating your existing Skript features without nuking player data. The migration piece is where most people get burned — I've handled dozens of production migrations across different stacks where the core requirement was "move everything, break nothing, make it faster." Same discipline applies here: audit first, document what exists, migrate incrementally, verify at each step. I'm comfortable with the full Linux server side — SSH, systemd services, JVM tuning, cron-based backup scripts, the works. I've managed VPS deployments across DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr, so configuring your host, setting up automated backups via cron, and fine-tuning server configs is well within my daily workflow. What you'd get working with me: First, I use AI heavily in my day-to-day work — Claude Code, custom agents, AI-assisted debugging and optimization. For a project like yours, that means faster turnaround on the tedious parts (auditing configs, identifying bottleneck patterns in Skript files, generating documentation) without cutting corners on the careful work like data preservation and testing. You get more thorough analysis in less time. Second, lower risk because I handle the full lifecycle. You won't need one person for the audit, another for the server setup, and a third for documentation. I'll own it end-to-end from the reference server investigation through stress testing to that post-launch support week, including the README covering restarts, plugin updates, backup restoration, and LuckPerms commands. Third, I break work into clear milestones so you see progress every step. For your project that maps naturally: Milestone 1 is the reference server audit and recommendation report. Milestone 2 is core server setup with performance tuning. Milestone 3 is feature migration and optimization. Milestone 4 is stress testing, documentation, and launch prep. You approve each phase before I move to the next, and nothing gets deleted or replaced without your explicit sign-off. I'm particularly careful about the "preserve existing features" requirement you emphasized — I've seen too many server rebuilds where someone decides to start fresh and the client loses months of customization. My approach is document everything first, migrate incrementally, and event-driven refactoring over heavy loops, exactly as you described. Happy to jump on a quick 15-minute call to discuss the reference server details and your current hosting setup, or I can start with the audit phase immediately if you'd prefer to get moving.
