An SMP with superpowers
MinePower was an SMP where players get superpowers. It was owned by two content creators, Zyro (also behind MineCade) and Minnox. They did the marketing, and we were the developers: everything except marketing was ours, from the powers themselves to the server they ran on.

- Players at the peak

20 TPS, the whole time
MinePower reached 300+ players, and it never lagged. It held 20 TPS the whole way, at every player count.
Superpowers are the hard version of an SMP to keep fast: abilities, effects and cooldowns for every player online, on top of a normal survival world.
Dupes, undone without downtime
Not everything on the server was ours. A few dupes came in through the public /trade plugins we used.
Because the server ran on our own custom logging system, we could trace what had been duped and revert the damage without any downtime.
