• Hosting a Minecraft Server for My Kid and His Friends

    Back in 2013, I ran a Minecraft server with my (at the time, teenage) nephew, Alex Gray. It actually grew to a pretty good size, hosting a couple-hundred players. We had a few mods installed, and had a lot of fun making dungeon-crawling playing areas, marketplaces, and all kinds of fun things. We ended up stopping eventually, as neither of us were really experienced enough in maintaining any server at all, and it all kind-of hit critical mass. Fast-forward ten (omg, it’s ten) years, and he’s now a grown ass adult working as a programmer and I’ve since switched careers…
