Recruitment

Build Destiny Playground With Us

We're expanding the team as the project moves into its next phase. Below are the volunteer roles we're currently recruiting for - what each one involves, what we're looking for, and how to apply. Select a role to see the full details.

Applies To Every Role

  • Age 18+
  • Solid knowledge of the Destiny universe
  • Strong portfolio of relevant previous work (required)
  • Good communication and professionalism
  • Genuine dedication - development is slow-moving and largely unseen right now, and sticking with it is what keeps things progressing
  • Not currently working on another Destiny-in-Minecraft project

Good To Know Before You Apply

This is a volunteer project and the environment is relaxed - but communication is what keeps it running. Let us know when you're unable to work; extended or repeated inactivity may result in removal from the team at any point.

All roles begin with roughly a one-month probationary period, during which we're assessing skills and fit and may remove someone if it's not working out. After that, you're in.

Responses generated with AI assistance will not be considered for any role, at any stage of the application.

NOTE: Positions are first come, first served. We will review applications in order and as soon as we find a good applicant, we will close the position

Open Roles

What The Role Involves

You'll be building out the technical side of the server - coding weapons, armour, items, enemies, missions and the systems that hold everything together. This is a coding role rather than a design one, so clear, regular communication with the lead is essential to avoid work clashing or duplicating.

You'll also be expected to diagnose and fix bugs as they come up, and this role continues on past launch - there's ongoing work in maintaining and expanding what's already built.

You will primarily be working with .yml files, configuring existing plugins, however if you also have expertise and knowledge in creating custom plugins and have ideas for where they could slot in, they will significantly help your application.

General Requirements (All Roles)

  • Age 18+
  • Knowledge of the Destiny universe
  • Good communication and professionalism
  • Genuine dedication to the project
  • Not on another Destiny-in-Minecraft project
  • Portfolio of relevant previous work

Role-Specific Requirements

  • Experience with MythicMobs (minimum requirement)
  • Access to Destiny 2 (Destiny 1 is a bonus, not required)
  • Good coding practices and the ability to work cleanly within a shared codebase
  • Strong portfolio of previous coding work - applications without one won't be considered
  • Bonus: experience with other plugins we use on the server
  • Bonus: experience building custom plugins
  • Bonus: knowledge of databases, networking, or other backend fundamentals
  • Bonus: Minecraft mod development experience (we aren't building mods currently, but it reflects well on your application)

What The Role Involves

Recreating Destiny locations within Minecraft to accurate scale, faithful to the source material, and detailed enough to hold up in a real server environment. You'll need to work to a detailed level without being wholly dependent on external tools - builds created solely through importing tools or Axiom won't be accepted.

Be mindful of the existing building styles and scale already established on the server, so your work sits naturally alongside everyone else's.

General Requirements (All Roles)

  • Age 18+
  • Knowledge of the Destiny universe
  • Good communication and professionalism
  • Genuine dedication to the project
  • Not on another Destiny-in-Minecraft project
  • Portfolio of relevant previous work

Role-Specific Requirements

  • Portfolio of at least 5 strong builds (required) - 10-20+ strengthens your application further
  • Destiny builds in your portfolio are valued more highly than non-Destiny work
  • Access to the relevant Destiny game for your assigned location
  • Ability to produce high-quality work with or without external tools
  • Bonus: access to both Destiny 1 and Destiny 2

Initial Assignment Options

  • The Last City
  • Destiny 2 - The EDZ
  • Destiny 1 - The Moon
  • Destiny 1 - Mars

You may be asked to switch to a different location at any point - nothing here is set in stone.

  • Not on another Destiny-in-Minecraft project

What The Role Involves

Creating 2D armour textures for players and enemies within Minecraft, consistent with Destiny's visual direction. This means working faithfully from Destiny reference material - translating real armour sets, materials, and colour schemes into Minecraft's texture format without losing what makes them recognisable.

You'll be producing a steady stream of these across both player and enemy models, so textures need to hold up consistently alongside everyone else's work, not just as one-off standout pieces.

General Requirements (All Roles)

  • Age 18+
  • Knowledge of the Destiny universe
  • Good communication and professionalism
  • Genuine dedication to the project
  • Not on another Destiny-in-Minecraft project
  • Portfolio of relevant previous work

Role-Specific Requirements

  • Strong portfolio of previous pixel art work (required)
  • Experience creating 2D textures or sprite work - armour, clothing, or character skins preferred
  • Comfortable working within Minecraft's texture resolution and UV mapping constraints
  • Good eye for colour, shading, and translating real-world materials into pixel form
  • Familiarity with Destiny's design and aesthetic
  • Bonus: experience texturing custom Minecraft item/armour models specifically

What The Role Involves

Creating 2D textures for in-game menus and UI elements, consistent with Destiny's visual identity brought into Minecraft's aesthetic. This covers things like menu backgrounds, icons, buttons, and inventory/GUI elements - giving the server's interfaces the same identity as everything else in the project.

This role sits alongside the armour/textures pixel artist but is focused entirely on interface work rather than character or enemy assets.

General Requirements (All Roles)

  • Age 18+
  • Knowledge of the Destiny universe
  • Good communication and professionalism
  • Genuine dedication to the project
  • Not on another Destiny-in-Minecraft project
  • Portfolio of relevant previous work

Role-Specific Requirements

  • Strong portfolio of previous pixel art / UI work (required)
  • Experience designing interface, icon, or menu elements
  • Understanding of Minecraft's GUI/texture constraints (resolution, 9-slice scaling, etc.)
  • Good eye for layout, contrast, and readability at small sizes
  • Familiarity with Destiny's design and aesthetic
Limited work right now. Everything is still changing rapidly, so there isn't much for this role to do at the moment. More work opens up as we approach release.

What The Role Involves

Writing the campaign and any narrative content throughout the entire project - missions, side missions, backstory, and everything in between. You'll work from existing concept art and previously written narrative material, building outward from what's already established rather than starting from a blank page.

You'll work closely alongside the lead to keep everything aligned with the overall vision, but otherwise have a lot of creative freedom in how missions and story beats actually come together - this is one of the most creatively open roles on the team, and touches almost every other part of the project (missions the builders' locations will host, dialogue for the enemies the modeller creates, and so on).

General Requirements (All Roles)

  • Age 18+
  • Knowledge of the Destiny universe
  • Good communication and professionalism
  • Genuine dedication to the project
  • Not on another Destiny-in-Minecraft project
  • Portfolio of relevant previous work

Role-Specific Requirements

  • Portfolio of previous writing work (required) - scripts, short stories, quest/mission writing, or similar
  • Strong grasp of the Destiny universe, its tone, lore, and storytelling style
  • Able to write both large-scale campaign arcs and smaller mission/side-mission content
  • Comfortable writing collaboratively, taking direction, and revising work to fit the wider project
  • Consistent voice and attention to continuity across a large, evolving body of lore
  • Bonus: experience writing for games specifically (quest design, branching dialogue, environmental storytelling)
