Balancing Economy in Minecraft SMPs

Lately, I've been intentionally tweaking custom economy configs. There's a sterility to default prices that makes grinding feel too algorithmic. By introducing dynamic pricing and using advanced YAML configurations, the server economy starts to feel more human.

It's about finding the balance between structured gameplay and actual chaos. The key is consistent monitoring anchoring the player progression.

Optimizing Server TPS

Playing around with Purpur configuration flags to create a stable, high TPS environment that mitigates lag spikes. It adds a necessary smooth experience to massive multiplayer servers without overwhelming the memory budget.

DEV UPDATE

Migrating from BungeeCord to Velocity

Finally ripped out the old proxy setup. Building the new network from scratch using a strict set of Velocity forwarding tokens. The friction of configuring the new proxies is actually making the network faster. Better architecture breeds stability.
