I become your server developer.
Two builds a month — a custom plugin, or your server website — made for your server and nobody else. Edits and updates to everything I build you are included, and so is the whole plugin catalogue.
Not an agency, not a freelancer you have to re-brief every time, and not a queue of tickets. One developer, on retainer, who already knows how your server is put together by the second month.

One commissioned plugin usually costs more than a month of this
Commissioning a custom plugin the ordinary way means finding a developer, agreeing a spec, paying somewhere between a couple of hundred and a couple of thousand for it, and then paying again the first time Minecraft updates and it breaks. The retainer is the same work, priced by the month.
Commissioning it piece by piece
- A separate quote, and a separate wait, for every idea
- A new invoice when you change your mind
- A new invoice when Minecraft updates
- Explaining your server from scratch each time
- Whoever is free that week writes it
On retainer
- Two builds a month, no quoting round trip
- Changes of mind are part of the deal
- Version bumps are mine to worry about
- I already know how your server works
- The same person who wrote the catalogue
$150 a month is $1800 a year for a developer who is already yours — and it includes the 16-plugin catalogue that would otherwise be $7 a month on its own.
What the retainer gets you
Two builds a month
A custom plugin, or your server website — you choose what each slot goes on. Built to your spec, for your server. One of one: they are not added to the catalogue and nobody else gets them.
Websites, not just plugins
A store front, rules, staff applications, a landing page that makes your server look like it is run by adults. A site spends a build slot the way a plugin does, and it gets deployed and handed over properly rather than left with you as a zip file.
Edits and updates included
What I build you does not become your problem. Changes of mind, balance tweaks, bug fixes and Minecraft version bumps are part of the retainer rather than a new quote, for as long as you hold it.
Priority support
Your messages go to the front. Not a support tier with a slower queue behind it — there is one queue, and you are at the top of it.
The whole catalogue too
Everything in the membership is included, on the same terms. Anything published while you hold the retainer stays yours permanently, whether or not you keep it.
You are talking to the developer
No account manager, no ticket triage, no brief passed to someone else. The person who writes the code is the person you describe the idea to.
What a slot can actually go on
Not “a custom plugin” in the abstract. These are the size of thing a month buys, and every one of them is something a server can grow on or charge for. Some take one slot; the ambitious ones take the month.
- Both slots
A gamemode that is yours alone
Lifesteal where a kill takes a heart off someone. One block, where the world only grows when you earn it. Hardcore with a death penalty that actually stings. Not a config preset — progression, menus, scoreboard, reset cycle and the admin tools to run it.
- Both slots
A store that pays you, not a marketplace
Your own storefront and your own payment processor, with ranks, keys and currency landing in game seconds after checkout and clawed back automatically on a refund or chargeback. Nobody takes a percentage of your donations for the privilege.
- Both slots
A season that ends and restarts itself
Scheduled resets on a fresh world, leaderboards archived rather than deleted, rewards paid out without you doing it by hand, and cosmetics that carry across while progress does not. A reason to come back in three months instead of drifting away.
- One slot
Bedrock players who get real menus
If a good share of your players are on phones and consoles, typing commands into chat is quietly costing you them. Native Geyser forms — buttons, dropdowns, sliders, text fields — over the systems you already run.
- One slot
Discord and your server, properly wired
Account linking that actually proves who someone is, ranks and roles synced both ways, staff commands you can run from a phone, and reports that open in Discord and close in game.
- Both slots
Custom items with behaviour, not just names
Weapons, armour sets and tools that do things vanilla cannot, with the models and textures to match, packaged into a resource pack that serves itself — and converted so your Bedrock players see them too rather than a floating stick.
- Both slots
One economy across every server you run
One balance, one set of vaults, one auction house, shared across a whole network on a real database — and built to survive the duplication bugs you get free with doing that badly.
- Both slots
Your own client mod
A Fabric companion mod for the players who install it: server-specific HUD, waypoints, quest tracking, interfaces the vanilla client simply cannot draw. The furthest thing from a config file on this list, and the hardest to copy.
- One slot
The plugin nobody sells
The idea you gave up on because nothing on SpigotMC does it, and the one thing that nearly did was abandoned four Minecraft versions ago. That is not a side benefit of this arrangement — it is the entire point of it.
Also on the list
- custom world generation to a brief
- per-chunk lag forensics that name the real culprit
- dupe detection that catches the exploit, not the aftermath
- quests, battle passes and crate systems
- a full staff, punishment and reporting suite
- migrations off a plugin that has been abandoned
None of these are hypothetical categories — they are the kinds of system the 16 plugins in the catalogue already are, built one at a time by the person you would be hiring. If what you want is not on this page, describe it in Discord and I will tell you honestly whether it fits in a month.
And what it is not, before you pay rather than after
Most bad freelance arrangements start with a promise nobody bounded. These are the three things this retainer does not do, said plainly here so nothing has to be argued about later.
Fixing other people’s plugins
I do not support, patch, debug or maintain third-party plugins — not ones you bought elsewhere, not free ones, not abandoned ones. If something of mine has to live alongside one, I will make mine cooperate. The other developer’s code stays theirs.
General server administration
I am not your host, your sysadmin or your staff team. Configuring an existing setup, moderating players and chasing your hosting provider are not what this is.
Rescuing a server that is already broken
If your server is on fire because of software I did not write, hire someone for that job. This is a retainer for building new things well, not for triage.
If a third-party plugin is simply the wrong tool for what you want, that is a different conversation and a happy one — I will build you a replacement with one of your slots, and then it is mine to keep working.
How a month actually goes
There is no onboarding call, no discovery phase and no statement of work. You describe what you want in Discord and it gets built.
- 1
You describe it
In Discord, in plain English. Not a spec document — “I want players to be able to X” is enough to start from.
- 2
I tell you the shape, and the cost in slots
What it will do, what it will not, and whether it is one slot or two. Before I start, not after.
- 3
You get a build to test
On your test server, with config and permissions documented, while there is still time to change your mind.
- 4
It ships, and then it stays working
Fixes and version bumps are mine for as long as you hold the retainer, and it keeps running permanently even if you stop.
You can read the work before you buy any of it
The strongest thing I can say about custom work is that the public catalogue was built the same way, by the same person. 16 plugins are in the store right now, each with real documentation, a full command and permission reference, and a changelog. Go and judge them.
3 of 3 places are still open
Two builds a month each is real work and there is one of me, so the retainer stops at 3. When they are gone the checkout says so and stops — it does not oversell, and it does not put you in a queue you paid for.
Month to month. Cancel yourself from your account page in one click, and everything already built for you keeps running permanently.

Questions
What counts as one build?
A self-contained feature with its own commands, config and permissions — the size of the plugins already in the catalogue — or a server website of a few pages. Something enormous might use both slots in a month, and I will tell you that before starting rather than after.
Will you fix a plugin I got somewhere else?
No. I do not support, debug or maintain third-party plugins, however small the fix looks — that is the one hard line here. What I will do is make anything I build for you work properly alongside them, and if a third-party plugin is simply the wrong tool, I will build you a replacement with one of your slots.
Who owns what I commission?
You get a permanent licence to run it on your network, for as long as you like, whether or not you keep the retainer. I keep the copyright and I will not publish it or sell it to anyone else. If you want full ownership and the source, that is a different arrangement — ask.
What happens to my custom plugins and my site if I stop?
They keep running, permanently, exactly like the catalogue plugins. What stops is new work: no more builds, no more edits, no more version bumps.
Do unused slots roll over?
No. It is a retainer on my time, and an unused month is time that has already gone. If you know you will be quiet for a while, cancel and rejoin — you keep everything either way.
Why only three places?
Because two builds a month each is real work and there is one of me. When the places are full the checkout says so and stops, rather than taking your money and putting you in a queue.
Why is this so much more than the membership?
Because it is a different thing, not a bigger one. The membership is software that already exists, sold to everyone at once. This is hours out of one person’s week, sold to three people. A single commissioned plugin normally costs more than a month of this on its own.
Can I try it for one month?
Yes. It is month to month and you cancel yourself from your account page in one click. If the first month is not worth it, leave — and keep everything built in it.
Not sure it is the right fit? Ask before you pay — I would rather turn work down than take a retainer I cannot serve.
