TUNING THE JVM – G1GC GARBAGE COLLECTOR FLAGS FOR MINECRAFT

July 2, 2018 in Java, Minecraft, System Administration

Introduction After many weeks of studying the JVM, Flags, and testing various
combinations, I came up with a highly tuned set of Garbage Collection flags for
Minecraft. I tested these on my server, and have been used for years. I then
announced my research to the public, and to this day, many servers have been […]

CODING WITH AIKAR – LIVE STREAMS!

October 21, 2015 in Minecraft, Programming

Hello, Lately I have been live streaming while working on various Empire
Minecraft or Website related tasks! I like the idea of Live Coding as it invites
others to learn from you, and on the flip side, allows others to offer
constructive criticism to you to improve your code. I’ve done some work to be

SPIGOT TICK LIMITER: DON’T USE “MAX-TICK-TIME”!

October 8, 2015 in Minecraft

Something that many of us in the Spigot Development community really dislike is
Spigot’s Tick Limiter. Here is my response to what a user wrote on a spigot
thread: PaperSpigot does not offers “max-tick-time”, that’s why I consider
spigot over it^^ There’s a reason PaperSpigot doesn’t offer it: You shouldn’t
use it! That system is […]

ADVANCED MINECRAFT MARKETING ANALYTICS

August 22, 2015 in Minecraft

I’ve mentioned a few times the power of my analytics system in the Spigot
community and recently in AdminCraft on Reddit. Most advertising campaigns
simply track impressions and clicks. But to a server owner, we need more data
than that…. We need to know who actually joined the server and continues to
play! I have designed […]

BASH COLORS FOR MINECRAFT SHELL SCRIPTS

July 28, 2015 in Minecraft, Node.JS

If you ever wanted to write scripts in Node.JS (or any JavaScript runtime) for
Minecraft, one may be interested in the ability to convert the Minecraft Color
Codes into their Bash Color Code versions. I have wrote a few methods (color map
credit to mcrcon) that will help with outputting colored text using Minecraft
color […]

ASYNC DEVELOPMENT – TASK CHAIN – JAVA CONTROL FLOW FOR BUKKIT

July 26, 2015 in Bukkit, Java, Programming

Reposting because Google has bugged out and ended up dropping this from Google
:/ So making it look new to get it back on Google. So as any Bukkit developer
knows, the API is not thread safe! And to make matters worse, there is no
concrete Java Control Flow API in Bukkit. However at Empire […]

PRODUCTIVITY – A KEY SKILL IN DEVELOPMENT

February 1, 2015 in Programming

Been a while since I posted, but I’ve recently got a few things down lately I
felt the need to share. A major asset to being a developer is the ability to be
productive. Remember, time is money. One thing that always irks me when working
with junior developers or designers is them doing actions […]

APACHE MACROS – SIMPLIFY YOUR CONFIG

November 12, 2014 in Apache, Linux, System Administration

Many people host small time hobby websites or even websites for family members,
friends and clients on a single server. This will lead to quite a lot of
repetition for the same apache site definitions over and over again. Thankfully
Apache Macros mod will solve many of these issues. This mod will let you create

FILTERING SPAM BEFORE FORWARDING EMAIL WITH POSTFIX/SPAMASSASSIN

September 5, 2014 in Linux, System Administration, Ubuntu

One feature many cPanel/Shared Webhosts has is an option to forward your email
to a different address. Very useful if you want to have multiple email addresses
but check it all in one place (Gmail) like I do. But if you’re like me, you’ve
likely migrated onto your own dedicated server you manage yourself, and […]

UBUNTU LIVE STREAMING TO TWITCH.TV!

September 3, 2014 in Gaming, Linux, Ubuntu

Good news for Linux users, the popular application for live streaming on Windows
“Open Broadcasting Software” commonly known as OBS has been rewritten and now
supports Linux. Ubuntu Live Streaming is now a thing with OBS. First off, you
will need a more up to date ffmpeg, found at the very
common ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg PPA. sudo
apt-add-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg […]
