Mineville was the first professional gaming project I worked on after arriving in Los Angeles. Mineville is an official Microsoft partnered Minecraft server featured in Minecraft Bedrock addition. Along with 6 other official servers, Mineville aims to provide players with unique experiences that are easily accessible to Minecraft players.


When I was brought onto Mineville, my role was to create new custom game modes and add additional mechanics to existing game modes. My primary job involved programming, but since we were a relatively small team, I often did a lot of design work on the projects I worked on as well. My success on Mineville lead to me being given the task of developing a second server for InPvP called Pixel Paradise in the spring of 2021. In September of 2022, I was promoted to Game Designer, overseeing the design and production of all Mineville games.


Some of my more significant projects on Mineville lately are detailed below.


Prison

One of the largest projects I oversaw as a Game Designer on Mineville was the complete remake of our most popular game mode, Prison. For this project, I was tasked with redesigning the mode from the ground up. Since the remake launched, Prison consistently sees higher player counts than before.

As the premier role play server on Minecraft Bedrock, one of our most popular modes is our High School mode. I frequently am tasked with designing new features for High School that provide our players with new and exciting role play experiences.
