Not sure if this is the right place to post this, I very rarely ever use these forums. Anyway, on to the post;
Around 3-4 years ago I started playing Minecraft, and right off the bat started working on a private vanilla server. I soon found out about BuyCraft, the most used donation service, but I wanted to challenge myself by keeping everything pure vanilla. As such, I was forced to find an alternative. Around 2 years ago I started working on my own custom donation system which ran without any plugins, on pure vanilla, inspired by JesperTheEnd's vanilla server, and a year later I posted the first public video of the system (yes, development was slow. I was still a student at the time, with very limited time to spare).
It was fairly well received, and many people wanted to know how it worked (which I kept secret, as the system was for a server I was working on).
I continued to work on it, always improving the system making it more secure, faster, and easier to use. Now that I have quit Minecraft, I have decided to release the (short) explanation video as well as the source code to the most recent version on the system, a PHP Slim app, on GitHub.
I am aware that I am not the first to do this (I believe Jesper was), and I am aware that destruc7i0n made something similar (though I made mine before him), however his is a wrapper around the BuyCraft API (and thus still relies on BuyCraft and has it's limits) while my implementation is designed to be completely standalone and 100% customizable.
