Backend Systems | Minecraft Plugin & Mod Development | United Kingdom
I build reliable, engaging software. From Paper MC plugins used by Minecraft communities, Fabric Mods used to push Minecraft to its limit to REST APIs backed by Spring Boot and SQL.
Hi, my name is Adam (aka salutedev) and I am an Oracle Certified Java software engineer who enjoys creating reliable and user friendly software. My initial interest in programming began when I originally saw modded Minecraft content back in 2021; however, as time went on my interests evolved from curiosity to building Minecraft plugins that address massive issues for server administrators and create fun gaming experiences for players. Beginning in 2023, I have primarily developed using Paper, everything from events systems and minigames to custom game play mechanics and admin tools. I then eventually got into Fabric Mod development and love to push Minecraft to its limits and create Mods I used to watch youtubers play.
Enchant Limiter gives server owners complete control over enchantments, letting them restrict or ban specific enchantments and levels to keep gameplay fair and balanced. Restricted enchantments can't be obtained through enchanting tables, villagers, books, item pickups, or any other method. The plugin enforces the limits in real time.
I was tasked with creating a custom teams system which synced to a database to allow viewers of the event to view a live leaderboard. This would allow a viewer to always stay up to date with the event. It also synced with a database which was fetched by the api connecting to our website so live scores could be viewed by viewers.
I was commissioned to build ControlPoints, a capture point gamemode for a SMP. Admins mark out regions with a selection wand and organize players into teams, then run the game via commands. Capture progress for each point is tracked live and shown to nearby players via boss bars, with zones freezing when contested by multiple teams and a pushed out team's progress draining before a rival can begin capturing.
I was taksed with creating a quests feature for the charity event BlockAidMC. Quests were claimed depending on their difficulty and the field in Minecraft the participant specialised in. This feature includes a Mod as a custom HUD for displaying quests was required and custom screens to see al the quest trees as well as NPCs to see quests. This meant I had to utilise custom packets between the client and server to transfer information.
Item Limiter gives server owners complete control over item restrictions, allowing you to limit or completely disable specific items to keep gameplay fair and balanced.
I was commissioned by Luck SMP to create a plugin that allowed the server owners to create and manage custom crafting recipes. This system allowed the owners to create shaped and shapeless recipes and update them live without restarting.
