The faded echoes of a once-legendary South African Minecraft mogul

As a Minecraft content creator, if your'e struggling to find consistent sponsorships, or brand partnerships for your channel, you should look into starting a Minecraft server.

There are tons of benefits, such as
- Increased MRR
- New content opportunities
- Complete flexibility with everything
- and more

Not a crazy cost to start, too, especially since the marketing side is already taken care of. Tons of creators have gone back to the OG days and started their own networks, why not be next?

Not sure how to get started? My DMs are open! And, I'm available on Discord (gianluca)

Want to make money with Minecraft? Owning a server is the best way to do it! And, you don’t even need to play the game or know anything about it

1. Think of a cool name, and purchase the domain. In the community, we generally go for .coms and .nets, but recently, since a lot of those are taken, people go for the .gg or .fun variations ($20-60/yr)

2. Once we have the name and the domain, we need to get some branding, all you really need is a logo and icon, and it’s your choice if you want to go for a custom illustration (a bit more expensive, but it looks nicer), or Mojang inspired, which you can get from Fiverr. You’ll also need an animated banner to go alongside your listings on voting websites ($60-300 once off)

3. Now, you gotta focus on the actual gameplay aspects of everything. If you don’t have a clue about Minecraft, you can pay someone to make you your server (just an fyi, avoid service teams at all costs). You’ll need the actual setup, alongside some nice builds. For builds, a lot of people go the premade route, but, custom is a nice perk if you can justify it. It’s also good to lock your setup guy in on a retainer, so that they can do the monthly updates, and handle the day to day operations ($1,500+ once off, plus your agreed amount monthly)

4. Now, you’ll need to purchase a dedicated server from a company like OVH. This will be the actual hardware that runs everything. When you have this purchased, you’ll need a SysAdmin to set everything up for you as well ($100-200/m for the dedicated server and $50-80 onceoff for the setup)

5. Lastly, you need players. Pay someone to create you short form content that you’ll post on all your socials every single day ($20-40/video)

Don’t forget to monetize your server with a donation store! If done well, for every 80-100 (premium) players you retain, you’ll be looking at ~$10,000/m in revenue

“I make $10,000/m on YouTube! Want to do the same? Join my $47/m course”

What a time

Now everyone is shilling useless Claude prompts and skills, lol

I miss the grifter era of Faceless YouTube (YouTube Automation) where people were saying they ran 100+ faceless channels, posting 1,000+ videos per day, and then selling a scam course, lol

Seemingly a lot of members from the exploiting and duping communities have been exploiting something in Litematica and Servux.

The supposed vulnerability allows the malicious actor to send other types of files, and not just schematic files between the server and the client, and place them outside the intended directory - allowing them a way to install malware remotely

Seemingly, it's like a worm - If you have joined a server with a vulnerable Servux version installed, you may have been affected.

Either update both mods, I believe the updated ones on Modrinth fix this, or delete them for now

@natecurtiss_yt Ship the broken one to me <3

[Gianluca @_Gianluca]

Just surpassed 100CCP :)

[Gianluca @_Gianluca]

@natecurtiss_yt Every time I see posts like this, I wonder, do people actually not post everywhere?

Like, for me, especially in the magic/magician niche, my content normally ends up reposted on different places, I might as well do it myself..

Shocking news today, as PizzaMC, CEO of InPvP has announced that he will be ending production of updates for all partnered servers, starting July 2026.

Moving forward, after this date, all new updates and changes will be available solely in your mind

[Gianluca @_Gianluca]

@Ryguyrocky It's the same with servers. Back then, you just configured plugins and got a build done. Now, you need someone to do a resource pack, make shorts, update monthly, etc

Minecraft and Call of Duty community servers have been branded "illegal" and compared to the "black market" by the Entertainment Software Association

The comments came during a debate over preserving games after official servers shut down
