Hey, I'm Mystic

I build the systems that run Minecraft servers.

Plugins, mods, launchers and the infrastructure behind them. Written from scratch, shipped to production, and maintained on live servers with real players on them.

Backend & Game Systems Developer

About

I'm a self-taught developer running GlowStudios, where I design and ship the software that keeps game servers alive.

Most of my work lives on the server side: Folia and Paper plugins in Java, packet-level systems, multi-database storage layers and cross-server messaging over Redis. I write things from scratch rather than gluing frameworks together. It takes longer, but I own every line when something breaks at 2am with players online.

Outside of the JVM I build desktop and web software: a Minecraft launcher in Rust and React, Discord bots in Node.js, Next.js front-ends, and the deployment plumbing on top (VPS, Nginx, CI, licensing).

I care about the unglamorous parts: thread safety on Folia's regionised scheduler, avoiding blocking I/O on the render thread, storage layers that distinguish "database error" from "not found" instead of silently wiping a player's balance.

Selected work

A few of the things I've designed, built and shipped.

LightClient

In production

Minecraft launcher + Fabric mod

A full client ecosystem: a desktop launcher, a companion mod, an authentication backend and a paid subscription tier, all built in-house.

  • Desktop launcher in Rust (Tauri) with a React interface and a signed release pipeline
  • Fabric mod adding animated capes and cosmetics, rendered client-side and served through a token-protected API
  • Account linking that authenticates players without the Minecraft token ever leaving their machine, with revocable sessions
  • Paid rank with recurring Stripe billing, a customer portal and automatic loyalty icons
  • Rust
  • Tauri
  • React
  • Java
  • Fabric
  • Node.js
  • Stripe

GlowSMP / GlowNetwork

Server network & infrastructure

A live Minecraft network: Velocity proxy, Folia game servers, a custom resource pack and the custom items and gameplay systems that sit on top.

  • Resource pack delivery handled at the right point in the connection lifecycle so players never miss it
  • Custom items and mechanics served by a dedicated backend plugin
  • Operational work included: diagnosing network-level disconnects, DNS and container issues on the host
  • Velocity
  • Folia
  • Java
  • Infrastructure
  • Nginx

Discord Bots & Licensing

Node.js · discord.js · Express

Community and business tooling: a full-featured community bot, plus a licensing service and dashboard for the plugins I sell.

  • Community bot with tickets (claiming, permissions, categories), welcome flows, gamification, account linking and player lookups
  • Licence server issuing and validating HMAC-signed keys, with a web dashboard behind OAuth
  • A separate tool that clones a Discord server's roles, categories, channels and permissions with live streamed progress
  • Node.js
  • discord.js
  • Express
  • SQLite
  • OAuth
