Melon: Minecraft development, without the boring part.

What we build
-
02.1Plugins
Paper plugins in Java, event driven and async where it matters. Production Skript when you want same-day changes on a live server.
-
02.2Custom items
Swords, wands and armour sets with their own abilities, cooldowns and 3D models. Combat SMP alone shipped 40+ abilities.
-
02.3Resource packs
Item, block, GUI and armour textures drawn alongside the code, so the plugin and the pack ship together. Bring your own models, or we source public-domain ones.
-
02.4Server systems
Economies, player data, shops, GUIs and minigames. SQLite or MySQL, with reads and writes kept off the main thread.
Also: Skript → Java ports · version migrations · Spark reports turned into fixes

How a build runs
-
Idea
You send the mechanic. Within 1–2 days we reply with what is actually buildable, a version target and a fixed price.
-
Design
The scope gets written down: commands, permissions, config and edge cases. A 50% deposit starts the work.
-
Development
Built against the Paper API or in Skript, pinned to your server version, with heavy work kept off the main thread.
-
Testing
You get a test server IP and try it live while it is being built. Changes happen before delivery, not after.
-
Deployment
The remaining 50% on delivery. You get the compiled plugin, its config, a README and a support window.
05
Why Melon
One team, two toolchains, and a fixed price before any code is written.
-
05.1
Custom-built systems
Written for your server’s loop. No reskinned marketplace plugins, no generic templates.
-
05.2
Minecraft-native design
Menus, items and mechanics that feel like they shipped with the game. Click-safe GUIs, so a misclick never costs a player an item.
-
05.3
Performance-focused
Database work runs async and the main thread stays free. Spark and timings reports get turned into actual fixes.
-
05.4
Resource packs in house
Items, blocks, GUIs and armour drawn next to the code, so the plugin and its pack ship together.
-
05.5
Server infrastructure
1.21 through 1.26.2 on Paper, Purpur, Pufferfish and Spigot. SQLite or MySQL. Version migrations with a rollback path.
-
05.6
Creator & SMP development
Combat styles, rune swords, wands, bosses and armour progression. Most of what we ship is custom SMP content.
- Minecraft releases supported
- 14+
- Server platforms

- Toolchains, Paper and Skript

Fixed price before any code · Live test server while it is built · 50% up front, 50% on delivery
Pricing
A fixed price before any code
Every job gets a written scope and a fixed price first. These are typical shapes, not a menu. The planner and the contact form get you an actual number.
Small fix
$5+per fix
A single bug, a small feature, or a Spark report turned into a fix, like patching a dupe glitch or adjusting an item cooldown.
- Fixed price, agreed up front
- Usually a few days turnaround
- 2-week support window on the fix
Texture pack
$10–$30per pack
Custom item, block or GUI textures to match your server’s theme.
- Your own 3D models, or public-domain ones sourced for a bit more
- Matches an existing pack, or starts fresh
- One round of revisions included
Skript system
$10–$20typical range
Cheaper and faster to build, but can get laggy and buggy as your server scales. Good for seasonal events and basic admin GUIs.
- Rapid prototyping and delivery
- Good for simple mechanics and small servers
- Source script provided
Most common
Java plugin
$30–$50typical range
A high-performance plugin built from scratch in Java for the Paper API, like a full custom minigame or a complex economy.
- Best performance for large servers
- Testable builds along the way
- Source, config and a README on delivery
- Support window agreed per project
Bigger scope than this? The planner and the contact form still get you a real quote. Prices are estimates and depend on exact requirements.

FAQ
Questions before you ask
How is pricing decided?
Every job starts with a written scope and a fixed price agreed before any code is written. There is no hourly rate that can run away from you.
What do I get when a build is done?
The compiled plugin or Skript file, its configuration, and a README explaining every option, plus a support window agreed before work starts.
Can you take over an existing plugin or script?
Yes. Send what you have and a Spark or timings report if performance is the concern. The scope reply will say plainly what is and is not fixable.
Do you support Folia?
With deliberate work, yes. Folia’s regionised threading changes what a plugin can safely do, so Folia jobs are scoped as their own case rather than assumed to work like Paper.
What if I am not sure what I need yet?
Use the planner above, or just describe the problem in the contact form. Part of the scoping reply is telling you what is actually buildable.
Do you do free development work?
For big servers, content creators or content SMPs, case by case. Not for random or brand-new SMPs.
Do you offer a payment plan?
No. Payment is always 50% before work starts and 50% on final delivery. If we cannot deliver as scoped, you get a full refund.
