Goidacraft
The Minecraft server I run and administer, plus the server-side NeoForge mods and Velocity plugin I designed for it: login, chat moderation, jail, grief rollback, inventory backups, polls. AI wrote the Java code.
The problem
A modded Minecraft server raises the same questions every day: who may join, what happens in chat, who broke whose build, and how to return a lost inventory. I designed one server-side mod for each of them.
How it works
Licensed players join without a password, and everyone else logs in with one. Moderators get chat filters, a jail baton, grief rollback and inventory restore, while players install no extra client mods. The website shows the mod catalog, live server status and the server newspaper.
What I did
I own and run the server, maintain the modpack and the website, and act as architect and product owner of 12 mods and plugins: I define what each one does and where its data lives. AI tools generated the Java code under my direction, and I test every release on the live server.
Status
The mods run on the live Goidacraft server, which is in closed beta. All of them are open source, each with its own repository and releases.

Mods on the server
GoidaAuth
Login for an offline-mode server: licensed players are verified automatically, everyone else registers with a password. Brute-force limits, a freeze until login and a rules gate.
GoidaAuthVelocity
The proxy half of GoidaAuth. It decides per player whether to connect in online or offline mode, so licensed and unlicensed players share one network.
GoidaChat
Local and global chat, admin chat, private messages and mentions, plus mutes, bans, anti-spam and auto-moderation with escalating mutes.
GoidaJail
A moderator hits a rule-breaker with a jail baton and they sit out a timer in a sealed cell. Sentences grow for repeat offenders, and items come back on release, even after a crash.
GoidaGriefLogger
Logs block, container, explosion and death events and lets admins inspect, roll back or restore them. A fork of GriefLogger by daqem, merged into one mod.
GoidaInvRestore
Inventory snapshots on a timer and on death, with a paged in-game menu to restore them. A safety backup is taken before every restore.
GoidaVote
In-game polls built in a chest menu or by command, with a live animated boss bar and up to eight options.
GoidaDI
Required Discord linking: new players get a grace period to link with a one-time code, and the mod never punishes anyone while the bot is offline.
GoidaCraft Elytra
Elytra rules per dimension: banned in the End, glide-down only in the Overworld, free in the Nether.
SimReset
An admin tool that force-resets stuck physics ships and contraptions from Create: Aeronautics, including ones in unloaded areas.
GoidaNameTags
Hides player name tags; right-click a player to see their name and rank.
InvView Backpacked compat
Lets admins look inside players' Backpacked backpacks from the InvView inventory viewer, online or offline.

What it is
Goidacraft is a Russian-language Minecraft server that I run and administer. It is a roleplay server built around Create and Create: Aeronautics, with one curated modpack on Minecraft 1.21.1 and NeoForge. Players build factories, railways and flying ships together, and the rules are about mutual respect and help. The server is in closed beta.
Running a modded server means solving the same problems every day: who is allowed in, what happens in chat, who broke whose build, and how to give back a lost inventory. I designed my own set of server-side mods, one per problem, and keep the modpack, the server and the website running.
What I built
- The mods. Twelve independent modules, each in its own public repository with releases: login, chat, jail, grief logging, inventory restore, polls, Discord linking and several smaller tools. They are listed below with links.
- The modpack. I put together and maintain the server’s modpack; the site’s catalog lists 218 mods in 14 categories.
- The website. goidacraft.online is a static Next.js site with the mod catalog and search, modpack downloads, a join guide with live server status, a donor board and an archive of the server newspaper in PDF.

Technical highlights
- Two-layer login. The Velocity plugin decides online or offline mode per player at the proxy, the only place a real Mojang check can happen on an offline-mode network. The backend mod then checks the connection’s UUID. Passwords are hashed with BCrypt, and older hashes are upgraded on the next login.
- Isolated data. Each mod keeps its own database (the login mod shares one only with its proxy plugin), so any module can be turned off, updated or rewritten without touching the rest.
- Off the main thread. GriefLogger batches all reads and writes in an async queue, with SQLite by default and MySQL or MariaDB as an option, so logging does not slow the server down.
- Crash-safe moderation. The jail stores confiscated items, including backpack and accessory slots, so they survive a server crash, and an inventory restore always takes a backup first.
- Optional integrations. Mods detect LuckPerms, FTB Ranks and GoidaVote at startup and hook in only when they are present.
- Server-side. Players do not install extra client mods for any of this; even the jail baton is registered through KubeJS.
- Delivery. GitHub Actions builds, tagged releases and the Apache-2.0 license.
Result
The mods run on the live Goidacraft server, and I keep releasing updates as the server grows. All of them are open source, so other NeoForge server owners can use them too.
My role
Server owner and administrator, and architect and product owner of the mods. I defined what each module does, how they fit together and where the data boundaries are, then directed AI tools that generated the Java code. I test every release on the server, drive the fixes, and maintain the modpack and the website. GoidaGriefLogger started from daqem’s open-source GriefLogger, credited in its repository.
