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.

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 (25620) 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**.
