From your first world to a custom gameplay system. 1stdev can help plan, configure, develop, and maintain your Minecraft server for its community.
01 / ENGAGEMENT MODEL
Choose a defined one-time project with handover or monthly technical support with ongoing work hours. Both begin with a brief and written proposal.
02 / ONE-TIME PROJECT
For a new server, a migration, a defined gameplay system or a bespoke plugin/mod project with agreed deliverables.
A Java server ready for testing and operation.
Scope limits: One server instance and an agreed feature list. Hosting, paid plugins and custom maps are separate.
Discuss this planA game mode shaped to your community.
Scope limits: Custom worlds/assets and player targets are scoped individually. No unlimited development.
Discuss this planBespoke features beyond configuration.
Scope limits: Source ownership, dependency licences, compatibility and post-launch work are agreed in writing.
Discuss this planFinal cost, milestones, revisions and post-handover bug fixes are confirmed in the proposal, not automatic rates.
03 / MONTHLY SERVICE
For communities needing regular technical care, compatible updates and a feature backlog managed within agreed monthly hours.
Configuration care and routine checks.
Scope limits: Hours, check-in cadence, support channel and response window are agreed; not 24/7 operation.
Discuss this planCare and ongoing feature iterations.
Scope limits: Written monthly hour and feature limits. Large plugin/mod builds are separate projects.
Discuss this planA technical partner for more complex servers.
Scope limits: Does not automatically include community moderation, staffing, DDoS, hosting or uptime guarantees.
Discuss this planTerm, monthly hours, update frequency, response window and cancellation are agreed in writing. Development subscription is separate from server rental.
04 / SERVICE BOUNDARIES
Server development is not the same as renting hardware. Responsibilities are defined in writing.
Compatible plugin/mod configuration, permissions/ranks, gameplay logic, deployment and tests according to the agreed brief.
TPS/MSPT profiling and hardware-aware recommendations based on player load, version and network. We do not promise zero lag or guaranteed TPS under every condition.
Security guidance, restricted admin access, backups and restore procedures where supported by the provider. DDoS and uptime protection remain provider-dependent.
Monthly service covers checks, compatible updates and scoped changes within written time limits. Unused hours do not automatically roll over.
VPS/server rental, domain, licensed plugins and marketplace assets, paid maps, third-party services, premium anti-cheat, provider DDoS protection and extra development. Any extra charges need written approval.
Config files, worlds/maps, custom code, repository, third-party licences and production access follow agreed handover terms. Third-party rights do not transfer automatically.
05 / FROM BRIEF TO DEPLOY
We assess Minecraft version, concurrent players, platform, current mods/plugins, staging access, and gameplay goals before agreeing a realistic quote.
06 / FAQ
We can assess Minecraft Java Edition setups using these platforms. Version and plugin/mod compatibility must be checked first. Forge/NeoForge, Bedrock and networks are case-by-case.
Not by default. This is development and maintenance. Hosting, hardware, backups, domain and DDoS protection are separate provider services and costs.
A one-time project delivers agreed outputs and handover. Monthly support handles recurring tasks within a stated time allowance. Neither model includes unlimited development.
We can assess the technical requirements, dependencies, Java/Minecraft version and effort, with code rights, licence, tests and revisions agreed in writing.
No. Hardware, providers, plugin quality, traffic, cheats and behaviour all influence performance and security. We cannot promise unconditional uptime or protection.
Potentially, after reviewing backups, world format, platforms and version compatibility. Downtime and rollback plans are agreed in advance.
No. This is independent development, not an official Minecraft service, and all work must respect applicable Minecraft terms and asset licences.
