Worked on the PaperMC/Paper repository, focusing on backend and server development using Java and network programming. Delivered a key feature upgrade to the player chat system, refactoring synchronization and broadcast logic to improve consistency and scalability under high concurrency. Addressed critical bugs, including generalizing projectile collision visibility checks for all entity types to ensure fair hit detection, and implementing graceful player disconnects during server shutdowns to enhance reliability. Improved event handling by ensuring entity-removal notifications reach all online players, eliminating issues caused by stale player lists. Demonstrated attention to maintainability, performance, and gameplay fairness across multiple server-side components.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 β PaperMC/Paper: Delivered a critical bug fix that generalizes projectile collision visibility checks to all entity types, ensuring consistent hit detection when the projectile owner cannot see the target. The change also cancels hits for all vanished entities (not just players) per commit bf465e002971815f08326af18efd9974056dd8f2, improving gameplay fairness and server reliability. Demonstrated Java/Minecraft server development proficiency and careful risk management with minimal disruption.

Nov 1, 2024Month 2024-11 β PaperMC/Paper: Delivered a targeted bug fix to ensure entity-removal notifications reach all online players. By iterating the current online player list and invoking CraftPlayer#onEntityRemove for each, we eliminated misses caused by stale player lists. This improves gameplay stability for servers with large player counts and aligns with reliability goals for event handling during entity removal.
