The server's vision, authored by the founder (Theo Bong)

We are a non-profit: We make $0 by hosting and maintaining the server. All contributors and hosts are unpaid volunteers.

The BONGBONG.COM Minecraft Project vision is to provide the most enjoyable factions experience and to raise funds for charitable causes. We vow to open source all of our codebase and encourage all members of the community to contribute in any way they can.

How it started

Some of the best Minecraft memories I have come from playing Factions. I started playing factions back in 2016 and continued playing up until around 2018. During this time, I made countless friends and interacted with some of the most interesting and friendly people I've met. I want to bring back the charm of OG style factions. Factions without a million niche features. Classic, PvP oriented factions done the right way.

Implementation

The concept is old, the implementation is new. With high-performance and scalability in mind, the entire server's infrastructure is open sourced and available free to everyone. This way, every part of the server is fixable without having to involve a 3rd party. The beauty of open sourced means that even if I get busy, the community can add new content and fix bugs by itself.

Community

We hope that we can bring people together to have fun in a competitive, yet friendly way. I also hope that in the future, all changes to content are sourced from community contributors.

Why a non-profit

Having fun wins over making money every time. Creating a profitable server easily makes coding and support feel like a job, which is something I couldn't be less interested in. Making the server a non-profit helps to attract members looking to have fun without being monetized (p2w, ads, etc).
