UnstableFFA / BerryMC

Experience

UnstableFFA, part of BerryMC, was a competitive FFA gamemode where I spent most of my time handling day-to-day administration, developing custom plugins, and maintaining the server under heavy load. The server faced a wide range of challenges, including players attempting to exploit the network through packet exploits, vulnerabilities, and other forms of abuse, as well as dealing with DDoS attacks. This gave me valuable experience in server security, performance, moderation, and maintaining stability under pressure.   Unfortunately, the server was later transferred to a different owner. Due to a lack of payment following the transition, I made the decision to leave the team and move on from the project.
