== Why BensMomCraft Exists ==
I grew up sinking countless after-school hours into classic **Minecraft Factions** servers. Over time the scene went stale—pay-to-win kits, laggy cannons, and vanilla-only meta.
**BensMomCraft** is my answer. It’s a self-hosted passion project where I rebuild the parts I loved, fix the parts I hated, and layer in modern quality-of-life systems.
I treat the server as a living case study in **game-design, DevOps, and community management**—and I link this wiki on my résumé to showcase those skills.

== Core Gameplay Features ==

|}

== Security & Infrastructure ==
; **Edge Protection (Cloudflare)**
: * Unmetered DDoS mitigation – absorbs L3/L4/L7 floods.
: * WAF rules & Bot-Fight mode – blocks SQL-i/XSS probes and credential stuffing.
: * Universal SSL with HSTS & automatic renewals.

; **Web Layer Hardening**
: * NamelessMC CMS with bcrypt passwords, CSRF tokens, optional 2-factor auth & reCAPTCHA.
: * OAuth log-ins (Discord / Google) so the site never handles raw credentials.
: * Payments off-loaded to **Tebex** (PCI-DSS compliant).

; **Server-Side Controls**
: * Role-based permissions via **LuckPerms**; staff access is least-privilege by default.
: * Daily off-site backups and **InsaneVaults** auto-saves to guard against region corruption.
: * Non-default game port (<code>25620</code>) and whitelist toggles during maintenance windows.

== Roadmap ==
* **Auction House** & **Bounty Board** – late-game economy loops.
* **Story Quests** voiced through **TypeWriter** NPC dialogues.
* **Player-owned Regions** powered by **BentoBox** island plots + **AdvancedRegionMarket**.
