Warning
This program is not designed to be easy.
In fact, I’ve specifically designed it to be hard.
Why?
Because the world needs better servers…
not just more P2W servers….
Don’t apply to join the program if you’re looking for “quick”, “easy”, or “hacks.”
There are plenty of other, cheaper programs who offer those things.
"I never thought this was possible!"
Hey guys Matej here,
Or you might know me as “kangarko”.
If you’ve seen my plugins ChatControl, Boss and others got over 700k downloads while I helped server owners generate over 1.2M in revenue…
That’s pretty crazy, right?
However, I didn’t always use to be that guy…
Back in Christmas 2012 I got the best gift I could wish for, my parents bought me a small Minecraft server!
That server was what saved me from depression – a year back we moved to Norway and I lost all of my friends. Seeing them again over the Internet provided me with a sense of belonging.
But now, the same server turned into a beast that was consuming me.
Are You Searching For Something More?
- You HAVE A TON OF IDEAS - you just don't know to turn them into reality or it takes too much time!
- You have NEVER PROGRAMMED BEFORE or you want to improve your Java skills..
- You TRIED HIRING DEVELOPERS it didn't work out...
- You NEED A CUSTOM SOLUTION for your network but none of the existing plugins can deliver...
- You WANT TO BRING PLAYERS AND MAKE THEM STAY by offering something unique!
- You TRIED LEARNING FROM YOUTUBE OR SPIGOT but found most tutorials outdated, confusing or having poor coding standards...
- You want to IMPROVE YOUR CODING SKILLS and become a valuable asset for your future...
- You find it hard to run a SELF-SUSTAINED SERVER and you are losing motivation...
- You want to SCALE NETWORK TO 1000s OF PLAYERS and need access to the right information.
"Why is managing my server so time-consuming?"
I only could attract close-to-zero new players a week…
And when we finally did attract more, managing the server became so time consuming I was losing motivation.
Plugins from Spigot were a constant struggle and between updating, fixing bugs and configuring I never had time to do what I actually wanted.
I had all of these great ideas in my head when I realized that the plugins on the market could not fulfill them.
In short, the server that I once enjoyed was now becoming a beast that consumed me.
I constantly kept asking myself this question:
"How can I finally run a self-sufficient network?"
I felt demotivated…
Instead of taking action I loaded up on movie series to numb these burning thoughts and tried to videogame my pain away.
I was so confused...
Some people say, hire developers.
Many promised heaven but did barely delivered.
Poor communication, missed deadlines, or they simply did not build what I actually requested or not in the quality I’d be proud of showing to my players…
Other server owners told me to invest into premium plugins.
We did an, many plugin developers went inactive. Or we got stuck on an outdated Minecraft version waiting for an update.
Some developers were rude or ignored me. And I remember in particular a few invisible bugs they claimed were my fault but we knew it’s their plugin…
So many server owners try learning plugin development by themselves…
They desperately try getting their heads around Java from books or courses like JetBrains Academy, but find that they don’t cover Minecraft much at all.
I always thought only the bright and talented ones get to learn programming…
And those hours reading old Spigot posts I had to suffer through, oh man…
Most we so outdated, disorganized and many were contained terrible coding practices…
One night I was playing on a famous network and overheard players brag about joining the server for 200 days in a row…
And here I was struggling to make players come back once.
I was so frustrated...
I started googling “how to make Minecraft plugins” while I was so depressed…
All of a sudden I saw all this information about Java and Spigot API…
But I was overwhelmed…
Who should I believe?
I read every forum post I could get my hands on… I watched hundreds of hours of videos.
I knew this was POSSIBLE! I just did not have access to the right information…
I was presented with a choice...
After making plugins by myself I studied people from Bukkit and SpigotMC who would end up becoming my mentors but also my colleagues and friends…
- Maxim wrote some of the best Spigot plugins at that time like FeatherBoard. He gave me an inspiration not to give up despite hate and drama, which he received quite a lot.
- finnbon was the particle/math god. From him I learned to draw particles and animations that would be close to the level I saw on Hypixel or other professional networks.
- Marcus was the coding standards guy. He would obsess about meticulously optimizing his Java code. He taught how to write extremely efficient plugins that last for years.
- Sam was my business mentor. From him I learned that money is not evil and that business is simply an art of solving problems. He taught me to finally monetize my network.
- Kristian, the original developer for ProtocolLib and through him I understood NMS and packets and how to bypass the limitations of Bukkit/Spigot to take full control over any aspect of my server.
- dmulloy2 made the minigames plugin we were using. He later took over development of ProtocolLib. He was always friendly to me when I used his minigame plugin and I later developed games on my own, which became some of the most played minigames on our network.
I took the choice... and FAILED miserably...
In 2013, I launched my first ever plugin ChatControl…
It was an advanced chat formatting and filtering plugin, but in reality, the code was terrible.
It was just like the other plugins I complained about, but now there was no-one else to blame…
Mistakenly, I’ve added a debug feature to quickly toggle admin rights into the plugin and forgot to remove it when I released the plugin to the public.
The very next day, my account got suspended…
Do you know the feeling when you put countless of hours into something, and you end up feeling like you did not make much progress at all?
I’ll never forget this feeling.
Everything was taken away from me overnight…
I lost everything...
I felt ashamed… I felt devastated…
I was presented with a choice to give up, or persevere…
There were a few individuals who had supported me that critical week and who encouraged me to keep going, so…
I took the leap of faith and committed to Minecraft fully. I decided to become better than my failures!
This incident also taught me critical lessons in resistance and not giving up.
I studied every corner of the Internet on Minecraft plugin development…
It turned out there was very FEW good information…
So I spent hundreds of hours scraping the net to put the pieces together.
I came across great teachers like Lukas Resheske and Ted Nicholas and I started to understand the psychological principles that separate success from failure…
I took these lessons and reposted ChatControl to SpigotMC…
I DECIDED that failure won't stop me!
In 2017 I released over 5 plugins, and each time I applied a slightly different strategy to test whether it will be successful.
The plugins soon amassed over 700,000+ downloads.
My network reached its peak too, crossing over 50,000 unique players and becoming one of the top in my region.
Soon the plugins and server was making so much such money that not only I was able to ditch my side job, but also travel to several countries and see more than I ever did in my entire life.
All thanks to this one decision.
I felt extremely humbled.
All the years of hard work have finally paid off…
I found out I wasn’t the only one. It WAS POSSIBLE, it just wasn’t easy…
When I posted my story back on SpigotCourse people would message me:
And that decision changed my life...
Soon, the messages were getting overwhelming…
“How did you learn this?”
I was never the guy who’d turn back and never reply.
It frustrated me so much that many great guys were stuck.
So many people would be SO MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL if only they had access to the right information…
I remembered the people who helped me when I did not believe in myself, my coaches and friends, and for once I wanted to be that “big brother” for someone…
That’s why I decided to make Project Orion™.
After many trials and errors, today I am proudly presenting to you the 3.0 version of the program and I am proud to say I’ve never released anything close to it, until now!
Minecraft is the game that changed my life. Now the time came to change yours!
I developed Project Orion™ course specifically to teach people THREE things:
- Understand Java programming and write clean, efficient code.
- Develop plugins for Bukkit, Spigot and Paper using everything the game has to offer.
- Grow your Minecraft network into a unique community of 1000s of players.
Project Orion™ is MORE than just a coding course…
It’s a system you can use to become a HIGHER CALIBER person and build something amazing…
Many use Project Orion™ to run a network where everything is built from the ground up.
A network that GIVES you freedom and passion, instead of TAKING time and motivation from you.
A network that makes players excited to tell their friends so your network grows automatically without you having to endlessly invest and chase YouTubers.
I "Accidently" Built The Biggest Minecraft Course On The Planet
Week 1: Introducing Minecraft Plugin Development
First we are going to explain what Minecraft plugins are. Not only what is Spigot, Paper, Bukkit, BungeeCord but also more advanced topics such NMS and OBC.
You will UNDERSTAND programming clearly using the EEE principle I developed (easy, elegant and efficient).
You will find things here if you are both a beginner, a seasoned developer, or just looking to fill in some gaps.
Listen To 218+ Game Events
- Game events: Listen to all 218 events in Bukkit and perform any action on player join, item use, inventory open, villager trade event and many more.
- Logging: Clean up the junk from your console, especially if you have a large server I'll show you how to handle console management like a Pro.
- Commands: Create advanced commands systems with subcommands, pagination, tab-completion and clickable/hoverable chat components.
Add Cooldowns And Timers
- Permissions: Give timed or conditional permissions to players based on their location, rank or anything else. Useful for donation perks or minigames.
- Timers & countdowns: Understand sync/async tasks in Bukkit to run tasks later (i.e. 5pm Mondays), at a fixed rate (i.e. every 3h during the weekend) or run them on a different thread to optimize server's performance.
Advanced Anti-Lag Techniques
- Settings & localization: Add auto-updating settings, # comments support (even on 1.8.8) or store any data in your settings. You will learn YAML/JSON and SQL database storage!
- Conversation API: Create engaging server-to-player conversations, useful for RPG systems or making NPCs speak (I'll show you how to spawn NPCs later).
- Performance optimization: How to write plugins with extreme efficiency, identify bottlenecks in code and eliminate hard-to-find lag on your network.
Week 2: Advanced Plugin Design
The second part of this course is all about you learning advanced plugin concepts you might have seen on the big networks…
Customize All Aspects Of The Game
- Custom items: adding glow, enchants, name, lore and NBT tags
- Sound events: Customize sounds in the game or add custom sounds to any mob, block or action.
- Entity physics: Create procedurally destroyable dungeons or use vectors to throw mobs in the air.
- Custom player heads and skulls: Connect to any database or use your own texture.
- Region and world restore: Editing millions of blocks without lag (with and without WorldEdit)
- Schematic: How to save region selection to your disk (as schematic) and paste it to its original location or any other location
- Reloading your plugin safely: commands, events, settings, tasks and files
- NMS & packets: Use everything the game offers to create new games
Particles & Animations
- Particle effects
- Tab-list manipulation
- Title, action bar, boss bar, toasts notifications
- Creating a no-flicker scoreboard with RGB color support
- Animation effects to chat
- Interactive chat: Add hover text, click actions or view item stacks in chat
Design Menus & GUI
- Create GUI for any inventory: sign, book, workbench, anvil, inventory.
- Add pages to menus for infinite item containers.
- Make editable menu for players to save items in.
- Load GUI from config file.
Week 3: Libraries & APIs
The third part of this course will show you how to go beyond just plugins and connect to BungeeCord, Discord, voting system, your web store…
I’ll also show you how to implement anti-piracy to protect your plugin.
Create Stunning Particle Effects
- How to connect to any library, API or a plugin regardless if you have their source code or not.
- Using EffectLib to create stunning 3D particle effects.
BungeeCord Development
A big part of this week is BungeeCord, which is how big networks connect their servers together to host 10,000s of players.
- Coding BungeeCord plugins and using plugin messaging channel.
- Synchronizing data between Minecraft servers and BungeeCord.
SQL Databases
I’ll also teach you SQL databases and storing data in practically any relational system. Students made their own minigame leaderboards and showed their best players on their server site.
- Master SQL databases, and store huge data efficiently. Access your data from anywhere, even your website.
- JSON/YAML data saving to your database.
- Using external database (MySQL, MariaDb) as well as file-based one (SQLite).
Advanced Discord Integration
A brand new approach to completely taking over control and managing your Discord server from Minecraft.
- Synchronize Discord with Minecraft chat.
- Filter Discord messages against your Minecraft plugin filters.
- Clear up Discord spam or remove messages, controlled from your server.
- Code bots that will run Minecraft commands from your Discord.
Dynamic Vote Rewards
Plus, I’ll be teaching you the best voting systems that successful networks use to grow their player-base:
- Add an addicting reward and progression system big networks use to retain players over and over again.
- Offline rewards: Storing votes in MySQL for just-in-time rewards.
Anti-Piracy & Obfuscation
Finally, I will show you our proprietary licence system that we used to protect our premium plugins from being leaked.
- Obfuscating your program to protect other people stealing your ideas.
- Use cloud-based anti-piracy that works on SpigotMC, Polymart or BuiltByBit or anywhere else.
- Add advanced JavaScript anti-piracy protection that almost got our account suspended on Spigot (I've never shared this anywhere before).
- Bytecode editing: How to "crack" plugins and how hackers attempt to remove your anti-piracy, so you can harden it.
Week 4: Reverse-Engineering Big Networks
The fourth part is all about systems.
You won’t find this anywhere else on YouTube or Spigot, because here, I will show you how to create full-experience plugins and connect the dots together.
- Animations: How to teleport players like in Grand Theft Auto V.
- Block operations: Find a random location within a range and determine the highest block in range.
- Command cooldowns: Limit a command for certain player groups.
Pathfinders & AI
- Create CUSTOM ENTITIES from the ground up: Customizing name, health, potion effects, equipment, attributes, riding.
- Loot tables: Drops on death, reward the player who dealt the most damage to your boss entity.
- Skill system: Blocking, striking a lightning, punching victim into air, etc.
- Natural spawning around players, at night, in intervals or in certain regions.
Custom Enchantments
Next, we’ll be implementing your own enchantment system:
- Custom enchants: Adding your own enchantments to any item.
- Special effects: Creating custom behavior for items bearing your own enchantments.
Ranks & Statistics Systems
Also, many students asked me how I helped a French network explode after implementing a progression-based ranking system, and since my NDA has expired I can now finally reveal this to you!
- Linear progression-based ranking system.
- Statistics system: top kills, deaths, playtime, etc.
- Promote players automatically when they achieve a statistic, an event, spent time on the server, vote etc.
- Playtime rewards: Rewarding players for spending time on your server.
Missions & Quests
I also show you how to add missions and quests to make players never wanting to leave your server again:
- RPG quest system: Creating a wide variety of missions for players to turn your server into a next level RPG experience with GUI.
- Storing completed quests on your disk or database and over BungeeCord.
- Advanced completion objectives: reach a location, kill custom boss, deliver item to chest, vote for your server, register at our website, etc.
Claims, Dungeons & Regions
Finally, claims and regions. No longer you will need to fiddle with limited plugins which NEVER will do exactly what you want them to do, instead, you will take your server’s protection completely into your own hands:
- Claims system: Creating an entire parcels system that are 100% protected from any form of grief from unwanted players or even mobs.
- Region particle visualization. Keeping intruders away from your protected land (prevent movement inside a protected claim).
- Design the entire system in the cleanest, most effective way so you can finally put the other ineffective plugins where they belong, to the trash bin!
Week 5: Premium Projects
The fifth part of the program is about replicating most successful features you might have seen on successful servers.
It is less lengthy than Week 4 and it will give you complete source codes to speed up your development.
- Hub / lobby plugins: Enhancing players flight using elytra using the most efficient way (PlayerMoveEvent vs a timed task).
- Double-jump: Create a double jump when the player wears elytra. Making “booster” such as pressure plates.
- Instant respawn: Changing our respawn location and modifying player respawn event.
- Minigame features: Realistic arrows breaking any glass, or block they hit.
- KitPvP: Instant health regeneration, how to disable hunger bar.
- Sponsor perks: Customize the maximum amount of health a player can have or reduce the default game health for a hardcore experience.
- Develop realistic gravity: I will use trees as an example: Make the chopped tree fall realistically using two physics modes.
Adding tons of features does not have to come with a performance penalty.
I will teach you how to optimize your plugins and server to an extreme efficiency so it can handle 1000s of players at once:
- Eliminate plugins lag, stabilize your TPS and optimize server's hardware.
- Optimize entities (while allowing NPCs and your custom mobs to spawn).
- Remove illegal or oversized mobs such as monsters, but also dropped items, arrows and stuck falling blocks.
- Balance view distance for players according to server’s workload.
- Optimize redstone, discover lag machines and packet exploits.
Week 6: Minigames
The sixth part is about adding highly-customized minigames and enhancing your network’s overall experience.
You’ll see me build games big and small, from SkyWars, EggWars, MobArena, Spleef, KitPvP to large, permanent games such as SkyBlock, UHC and new, experimental gamers I had helped large networks develop.+
- Generate CREATIVE minigames ideas that will make your network unique and players stick.
- The dark side of minigames: Avoiding the trap that kills 37% networks trying to implement games.
Build Any Type Of Minigame
I understand minigames seem like a big and dauting concept, so I will break it down for you so even if you are a complete beginner you will walk away laughing having added a never-seen before feature to your network:
- Game mechanics: Joining the game, lobby countdown and game heartbeat to end games automatically.
- "Builder mode" to let admins and your builder team setup games for you.
- Isolate player inventory and saving it to return items after the game.
- Scoreboard and animated effects during game play and edit mode.
- Using tools to visually draw game region, set points and see region particles in real-time.
- Classes and upgradeable tiers.
- Isolate chat to game players - useful if you don't want to dedicate your entire server to minigames.
- Protect your games against grief (but allow some destruction - and reset your game at the end!)
Advanced Game Logic
Next, we’ll be implementing fun game logic you have seen in BedWars:
- Ore generators, making them tick and upgrade their levels.
- Progressive mob spawn: Spawning monsters in waves with increasing difficulty using a formula (with JavaScript support for calculations).
- Base traps (mining fatigue, blindness, alarm) etc.
- Bed placement and destruction: Spawn beds in multiple Minecraft versions.
- Teams with auto-balancing: 2vs2, 3vs3vs3 or 4vs4vs4 experience. Auto balancing teams to always join the same amount of players into each team.
- Shopkeepers: Spawning custom NPCs with GUI and letting players buy upgrades for themselves or for their team during the game.
- Spectate mode: Make players be able to observe the game after they die or join the game for spectating during the gameplay.
Running A Minigames Network
Finally, we’ll wrap up and create a LEGENDARY minigames server you and your players have been waiting for ages!
- Synchronize data over the network: Using all plugins we have created so far to create a Hub server, a BedWars-only server, a BungeeCord server connecting them.
- Add minigames lobby: Auto-join players when they connect to the server and ONLY starting lobby once enough players have connected.
- Spawn a server selector NPC which opens a game/server selection menu. Able to join played games from Hub and spectate them.
- Display live updates on the Hub about minigames on other servers: Amount of players, game state etc.
Week 7: Cashflow Mastery
The final part of this program is about monetizing your skills.
This is going to be an EXCITING step into you turning your passion into a revenue stream, and possibly even a full time income.
We had tons of students sell premium software, get paid clients, monetize their networks or land international jobs and it all comes from the knowledge of this week’s training!
- The 3 cashflow-generating models: Proven ways to earning money from Minecraft and everything you’ve learned in this training so far.
- 5 stages of sales success: Thinking models for moving through the different stages of growing a successful business. Overcoming salesmen killers.
- The riches are in the niches: How to carve out your niche and the 4 variables I look at when picking.
- Infiltrate your competitors: What metrics should you look at and how to spot problems in competitors’ plugins or servers you can fix.
- Mind-maps and chunking: Avoid overwhelm by carefully planning your attack. I’ll show you concrete examples I used to build my company from 0.
Sales & Copywriting Course
Then, I will guide you to crafting an irresistible offer (that is a killer plugin, a server or a development service, I will leave that up to you!)
- How to write a sales copy: For the first time I’ll share the exact system we use at MineAcademy to write all of our sales letters so you can start writing a killer sales copy today.
- Becoming your own instructor: How to test and analyze your own copy times and times again to improve it to perfection.
- Proven sales performance indicators: After years of trial and error we figured out the best conversions numbers and today you will be getting our complete performance worksheet to help you set revenue goals.
Create Irresistible Offers (Or Plugins)
That alone will be good for generating HUNDREDS of customers, or players. Now that you know exactly how to sell, let me show you how to manage your cashflow and minimize risk:
- Guarantees: We’ll help you figure out what’s the best money-back guarantee for your offer and which one you should use.
- Fighting refunds & chargebacks: I’ll even give you templates we use to fight chargebacks we’ve perfected over the years.
- 10X sales using the 2 traffic types: How to 10X your traffic (and sales) in 30 days sharing our exact strategy in a clear, repeatable checklist.
- Day-to-day CEO checklist: The daily and weekly actions to grow your sales operation (downloadable PDF checklist).
- Cashflow mastery: Company, accounts, cards and receipts. Best software for tracking your hard-earned $$$.
- Legal setups: Some of examples of legal structures that I have seen or used in the past and are working for us and our students (LLC, solo).
Hiring & Team Management
Then, I’ll teach you people management. How to hire and fire effectively and become a feared CEO (I am just kidding, but yeah, respect is important).
- HOW to hire: The exact process on finding the right people, interview and train them. How to deal with issues and handle payroll.
- Where to find the best people: When to delegate customer support to someone else and where to find the best people to do it.
- Download our hiring contracts: Get our fill-in-the-blank Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), Contractor Agreement and Client Agreement.
Next, we’ll deal with quite a sensitive topic, that is software piracy. You can’t avoid it, might as well deal with it beforehand:
- Taking down leaks: Get your leaked stuff off of the Internet (taking down websites, communicating with leak sites etc.)
- Creating an unleakable offer: How to create products that can NEVER be pirated.

Total Value: $1,320
But the true value of the course is beyond $1,320….
You are getting FIRST-HAND ACCESS to some of the top developers and Minecraft network owners in the industry. On top of that, you get real, tangible programming skills FOR LIFE.
This is PRICELESS.
Too Good To Be True?
Alright, I had some strong claims in the writings above. Let’s address them now.
What qualifies you to teach his?
You may wonder why should you trust my advice and what qualifies me to teach.
There wasn’t any God-like power that gave me the knowledge to teach. There was one thing only:
Years.
And a proven track record since 2013.
Whatever problem you come across in coding or selling, I was once probably in your shoes, confused, and I had to figure it out on my own.
The price? Time.
It took me A HUGE AMOUNT of time figuring things out…
I’ve coached over 3,000 people on how to run successful networks, amassed over 50,000 players on my own network and helped top networks in the industry generate over $1.2M in revenue.
What's The Catch, Seriously
Alright, I get it.
You are about to invest in yourself, you want to know that it is a worthy investment.
Here Is the Truth
1. You only get as much out of this course as you put it
We can give you every bit of information and take you by-the-hand, but we can’t do the work for you.
You have to practice what you will learn, be there for your players or customers, and most importantly, don’t give up. Truth is, the attitude does more than just hard work.
2. The first months will be hard
That is fine, because, as I discussed above, it took me time to get to the point where I am now.
Doing it by yourself is lonely – that is why we have a dedicated team to help you every step on the way to make it as easy as humanly possible.
With Project Orion™, you have our Discord and Hub community, live coaching calls and email support available AT ALL TIMES.
PS: If you have any pre-purchase questions, don’t hesitate and send an email to [email protected] and I get back to you ASAP.
I'm Biased, Here's What Others Say

Why Project Orion™ Is Different
Clear audio, clear video
Sorry guys, but if someone is using a dirt-cheap microphone (or body language due to a lack thereof), no matter how good the course is, you won't get it.
I invested into professional equipment and cameras, hell I even swallowed my pride and visited speech therapist a couple of times to make my pronunciation clear even to non-native English speakers.
Highly Practical
Everyone teaches software development in the same generic, abstract fashion. I'm too busy for boring, dragged-out videos. To hell with them!
We made the entire course based around real-world projects. You will see me reverse engineering successful networks and real-world stuff in a highly practical and witty manner. Examples include: KittyCannon shooting flying kittens, EggWars Minigame, Custom Bosses, NPC Missions.
No Skipping Content
A lot of courses are either made for 200+ IQ champs or people with perfect memory and attention spans. If you're that guy, I want to hire you!
Here, I assume nothing and we'll do everything together; you'll see me install the software, struggle with the crap that comes up and cut it out for you.
Humor
People say that I have a "swag" while teaching; not sure what're you talking about bro...
Forget the boring monotonous videos and PowerPoints that cause death. The course contains mature and witty humor with raw, uncut bloopers.
Variation
Do you remember the majority of what you watched on the internet?
I do my best to make each video with a slightly different "feeling", such that you don't fall into a coma but you'll have a memorable, enriching experience instead.
Interactive
Theory without practice is a waste of time.
I want you to absolutely master the learned skills and remember them deeply, that's why the course includes call-to-actions with real world examples from my personal experience.
You can implement all of the learned materials into practice already before finishing the whole course.
Personalized support
I don't want to sound like a broken record, but remember that we do live Zoom coaching calls twice per week so you get personalized help from QUALIFIED instructors.
Plus you'll get access to our private Discord channels, the Hub community portal and email support for a year.
Focus on coding standards
Learning from YouTube and other reputable sources like the Internet has the danger of the absolute garbage coding standards that come with it.
Since 2013 I've hung out with some of the top coders in the industry and picked up their EXPERT CODING STANDARDS. I'll show you how to write extremely clean, lean and efficient code.
"Grew my network to the biggest in Italy"
Nothing was better than finding this amazing course, it changed my life. Today I have a Minecraft server from more than 1,200 average players and it became the biggest in Italy.

Frequent Questions
Can't find this information for FREE on YouTube?
As one of our students put it:
If you want to learn ABOUT Minecraft plugins – go elsewhere. There are plenty free tutorials available. If you want to DO plugins and servers and remove all obstacles between you and a masterful network – come here.
I am going to be brutally honest with you…
Following YouTube tutorials or browsing Spigot articles is a black hole.
I’ve been practicing what I teach for over 11 years now and discovered a lot of tactics nobody knew about that I am happy to share now that I no longer run my own network.
Plus you’ll get personalized help, live coaching calls and access to successful network owners inside our private community. This is PRICELESS.
Nobody else is teaching these systems and never will, because they never worked with these big networks like I did for the last decade.
After getting 700k downloads, managing 30k players, teaching 2,500+ students and helping small and large networks alike generate over 1.2M in revenue, I am very confident that what I have to offer is so profound is like seeing the world for the first time.
Are the certificates I will get from Project Orion™ acreditted?
I was researching renounced companies whether THEIR CERTIFICATES are officially accredited and NONE OF THEM ARE, because it’s not needed and the bureaucracy behind it is crazy. It’s the same scam as paying 250k for college…
What’s needed is world-wide recognition and student results. We have both.
I recommend you read what W3schools.com sent to me as it explains the exact same system behind our certification as they have:
Will the content expire? Is all content unlocked?
No.
Your access won’t expire and you’ll get lifetime access.
You can go through each lesson in your own time. Our live coaching calls are hop-on, hop-off, you can ask us anything at any point of your journey.
Remember you have 30-day money back guarantee from the day you start the training, not when you enroll, which can be up to 2 months after.
I am a total rookie and never coded anything - will this work for me?
Yes.
60% of our students have never coded anything. Plus, you’ll get an entire Java course with Project Orion™.
I was probably more clueless than you when I started, so if you are willing to put in the effort you will learn lightning quick.
I heard you use "Foundation" and I don't want to be dependent on it!
No, we made it optional in the 3.0.
The Foundation™ is a system I used in all of my plugins to save hours of work.
Foundation adds the time-saving @AutoRegister annotation to register everything automatically and makes it super fast to create GUI, menus, command systems and custom entities.
It replaces many complicated calls with plain English, simple one-word methods. And lastly, it makes your plugin work on all MC versions down to 1.7.10 (and 1.8.8) without you having to change your code at all!
We recommend doing what Tijn did; he started the course using Foundation; and in built his own, unique system since. He’s now fully independent, does not use Foundation, and got there faster than if he’d tried doing the same on Day 1.
That’s how people lose motivation. They stare a blank screen and waste time.
If you have a special need or absolutely not want to follow our system, our training videos show you both — with, and without Foundation — but we strongly urge you to at least give it a try for the first month of coding before dropping it completely. You’ll become independent, faster!
I learn slowly / it's hard for me to focus, how how much time do I need?
My English is not that good, will I understand the program?
If English is not your first language and you’re afraid that you will not be able to follow up, we have good news for you.
First, each video has a textual presentation of what we are going to cover, so you can just read it from the screen. Second, there are lots of downloadable materials you can just translate yourself.
You can go ahead and try it, with our 30 days money back guarantee, there’s no risk.
I can't afford it, is there anything you can do for me?
Me and some of my most successful students have had their back against the wall financially when they started.
I was born in Slovakia and grew up in $500/month single-parent household. So I ask you to replace the thought “I can’t afford this” with “How can I afford this”.
And I know it can sound arrogant, but you have to understand that the IT skills we are teaching will pay for themselves 1,000X.
A beginner Java Developer in earns over $80,000/year… We routinely have students land international positions, get clients and make a return on investment for Project Orion in just a few weeks.
So you need to get creative and think of how you can find the money. There’s PayPal financing, credit cards, loans, parents, friends, family, you could even sell something and use the money from that.
Don’t be paralyzed like I was for years, decide today and invest in yourself knowing it will pay back. It doesn’t work any other way.
What software will I be using?
Which Minecraft versions are supported?
Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.21.4.
Unofficially, you can target whichever you want. Bukkit has been around since Beta 1.3.
We don’t “shame” or discourage to use older versions because they are faster, simpler and many prefer them. I honestly think this whole shaming is ridiculous. I made this course to give you freedom, use whatever you want…
Plus, I’ll also show you how to make plugins work on multiple Minecraft versions simultaneously WITHOUT you having to write duplicated code.
How long is the course?
7 weeks (plus one bonus week).
However, those weeks are only an estimate of what we recommend your learning journey will be.
You can complete it in your own pace. Some people need more time, so you get lifetime access.
I'm a parent - Is Project Orion™ safe for my child?
Yes, our community is apolitical and family friendly.
Next, the server where your child will be making plugins is run locally on his computer, so strangers and griefers cannot join.
We employ 6+ moderators spanning all major time-zones to watch over our communities.
We do not allow politics, adult content or any off-topic in our community to keep focused on our mission; teaching your child to code.
I'm busy - how much time do I have to put it?
Yes it will work for you, we understand that most people are busy and have full time jobs, families, commutes and hardly any free time.
It doesn’t matter what your schedule is like, if you can set aside at least 3 hours per week you will be able to work your way through it.
Even if you can’t start right away… reserve your spot and go at your own pace. All important lessons are pre-recorded and available on-demand. You can complete them in your own time.
And if you’re asking about the Q&A calls, those are live and, yes we record and archive all of our live calls. So if you can’t attend, send us questions beforehand and simply watch us answer them in the replay.
But guys ... I need your full commitment on this one...
I designed this course to take you through all the reference experiences you need to become naturally good with Java, Spigot, running servers and all of that stuff.
As I’ve told you before, coding is SIMPLE but not always EASY.
Sometimes you will hit a plateau and you don’t progress for a while.
Sometimes all of your code will break…
Dude I know this feeling too well!
The key is to trust this course and the material to help you through this process.
Like every journey, you will have ups and you will have downs… They are inevitable…
And that’s perfectly fine!
I had a ton of ups and downs but I DECIDED not to give up...
In fact, I let my failures fuel me and drive me to strive for even higher levels of game.
This is the beginning of a true hero’s journey in life, someone who never gives up and trusts the process.
Ask yourself now, do you still want a life of struggle and a life that society dictates to you or do you want a life full of passion, seeing your network grow and getting a valuable skillset for life?
If the answer is Yes then I’ll see on the inside.
Yours truly,
