City Loopers

// Overview

City Loopers is a Minecraft server focused on urban city building, running a greylisted model where players apply to join and are vetted before gaining build permissions. I handle the technical administration: server infrastructure, custom Spigot plugins for anti-griefing and plot management, and a Discord bot that bridges in-game events to the community server — join notifications, build showcases, moderation actions. The whitelist application and review process runs through Discord to keep the community quality high.

// Challenges

Greylisted communities require stricter moderation tooling than open servers. Cross-platform integration between the Minecraft server and Discord meant building a custom bridge plugin that could handle async events from both systems without lag spikes on the game server side.

// Outcomes

A stable, active community of city builders. Uptime has been consistent; the plugin stack handles the cross-platform sync reliably. The admin tooling runs largely without manual intervention.
