Original game concepts turned into full server experiences.
Solo-built Minecraft experiences
A custom server network where every flagship game was coded from scratch as plugins.
I'm André, the solo developer behind HerozDev. I built MineKart, CounterBlocks, and LostKnights for vanilla Minecraft with no mods required, while my girlfriend creates the 3D models that give the server its own identity.

Versions

Built With
Plugins only
Developer-led worldbuilding
One builder of systems. One artist shaping the look.
Mods required for players to jump in and play.
Creators handling code, gameplay design, and 3D asset direction.
Server IP that ties the whole world together.
Custom games that feel like separate Minecraft products
HerozDev is structured like a game hub. Each mode has its own tone, systems, and progression loop so the network feels closer to a launcher than a single server world.
Built as plugins, not dependent on modpacks
The core pitch is accessibility: join on modern Minecraft without installing extras. The heavy lifting is done server-side through custom plugin development and bespoke gameplay systems.
A two-person creative pipeline with clear roles
The gameplay, code, and systems are solo-developed by André. The 3D model work is handled by his girlfriend, giving the network a consistent handmade visual layer across its experiences.

About the project
Why this server exists
HerozDev is built around the idea that Minecraft can host fully original experiences without asking players to install anything extra. That constraint shaped the entire project: game loops, combat, racing, progression, and visual identity all had to be created in a way that feels custom while remaining easy to access.
The result is a network centered on authored games instead of generic modes. Every major experience on the server was designed and coded by one developer, with custom 3D models made by my girlfriend bringing a distinct look that separates the world from standard plugin hubs.
