Project - Custom Bukkit/Spigot Plugins in Java
Building custom server plugins in Java for a friend's Minecraft servers — a side project that doubled as a hands-on deep dive into Java, event-driven architecture, and real-time multiplayer systems.

Overview
A friend ran a number of Minecraft servers and needed custom functionality that off-the-shelf plugins couldn't provide. I stepped in to help build plugins using the Bukkit/Spigot API in Java. We're both tech nerds in different areas. So, we help eachother out sometimes.
In addition to plugin development I created a console application for him to management his servers. https://github.com/DaanBiesterbos/pterodactyl-console
What Made It Interesting
It was also a chance to work with Java in a context completely different from enterprise backend development — no Spring, no Hibernate, just the JDK, the Spigot API, and the constraints of a live multiplayer environment.
