Year 2025
2025 – the repetitive year…and a bit depressing.
2025 was repetitive as all I did was manage SodiumNodes. This was for a good reason though: all the work I did in this year doesn’t have to be done today. I also had many arguments with my friends which I won’t explain in detail to not bring them back.
On the 11th of January, 2025, after a discussion with the headmaster, we came to the conclusion that doing homeschooling for a year would prevent weight loss. Am I sad? Not at all, because at 16 I am planning on dropping out and getting straight into internet business. I have a plan of my own. And I have more time to spend with you guys. UPDATE: this was written near that time, and SodiumNodes wasn’t released yet. My predictions were correct.
On the 14th of January, 2025, my channel got banned for no obvious reason. I tried my best to recover it, but YouTube rejected my appeal. I even tried asking them why it got banned, and they continuously avoided my question.
UPDATE (18/05/2026): Some of you, especially my fans, may be asking: will you ever go back to uploading consistently? The answer is, plainly said, no. YouTube has left me a massive scar that, although I have healed from, I will never forget. They deleted 180+ videos, week after week after week of uploads for 2 and a half years, all overnight. My community was precious for me, YouTube destroyed it. Read this post for better understanding.
I don’t upload as often anymore, I upload occasionally, but life became more depressing after this. I shouldn’t forget that Jesus is my saviour, He removed me from worse times than these. Join my Discord server and check out the old announcements (around March – June 2024), where my mental health was crap. I was depressed, but in this year Jesus lifted me out of it.
On the 8th of March 2025, we released a new business called SodiumNodes. On the 24th, we released it before this post as a place to host free Minecraft servers for you and your friends. I was so excited for what was to come. Later on, it became paid. Either way, SodiumNodes is a cheap, efficient and reliable hosting company specialized in Minecraft hosting services. If you’re in need of a Minecraft server to invite some friends, an SMP, or a BungeeCord network, then SodiumNodes might the cheapest option in the market.
Around the end of March 2025, I learned the basics of PHP and then released WebTools under the CC0-1.0 license, which, reviewed to this day, is insecure and has loads of room for improvement. I’m just too lazy to update and maintain it. Tell me in the comments if I should continue it and if it was a good brainstorm from my side!
In mid-April 2025, I started developing for Eupla. I made the website with HTML, CSS, PHP, and a bit of JavaScript involved, while Abo3leesh made the PocketMine server, since he understood the API better than I did. It was just perfect teamwork.
At the end of April 2025, by continuously developing in Eupla, I started properly understanding some PocketMine API basics: events, commands, configs, but not tasks. With this knowledge I could start coding some basic plugins, like a plugin to send the player to the hub.
In May 2025, I started developing in DarkWix for RedX_Gaming95 just as a hobby. I made quite a few plugins in it and I managed to expand my PHP knowledge. Thanks to this, I now know object-oriented programming and I can write neater code. Instead of including events, functions, and tasks into one file, Main.php, I now make different folders to contain different classes. I even made the authentication plugin for DarkWix, which even uses e-mail verification! This hasn’t been seen in PocketMine before and was my idea.
In June 2025, I code plugins without brainwashing myself on simple errors anymore. Developing is fun, especially when you have a hobby and free time to do it like me. I just can’t easily get over the fact that I lost my audience because of YouTube blindly pressing one button. 2.5 years of effort and a beautiful and supportive community, gone. I can’t wrap my head around it.
On the 14th of August, 2025, I started developing a plugin called AuthX which I released on Spigot one day later. Since then, I started learning Java development, of which I’m still a beginner. As of right now, I’m focusing on my walk with Jesus where I get highs and lows, basically moments in which I sin and moments in which I don’t. I’m not perfect, but I have loads of room for improvement.
On the 27th of August, 2025, I developed a discount page for SodiumNodes where you can find discount coupons you can apply to various products. Check it out!
Around September 2025 is where SodiumNodes started showing stability, reliability and it started being usable once and for all. It all happened in that month mainly because PayPal limited the account. However, we had a backup and my dad helped me to verify my identity on the PayPal backup and on Stripe. Now we have both services.
That same month, my friends had abandoned me as we did have many arguments, and I will not mention the topic because I don’t want to bring them back. Whoever knows, knows. However, I will not forget how Abo3leesh, despite having several fights with him as well, stood loyal towards me and SodiumNodes. Our company, SodiumNodes, would have never existed if he wasn’t there for me. He is truly a genuine and nice guy. I can confirm that the fights were due to my attitude as well, which hopefully is getting better.
I also had many debates and arguments with Abo3leesh, which did distance our friendship, but luckily forgiveness is an option and we choose it every time. I will admit, I’ve been wrong at times.
On the 25th of October, 2025, controversy sparked in SodiumNodes as haters who had beef with my friends started adding fake 1-star reviews on our Trustpilot. i have proof on the Discord server of I immediately took action and exposed them, as they are an unreliable company even today. All updates are on SodiumNodes’ blog.
They started gossiping behind my back in their server, and gave me a toxic, hostile reply when I left a genuine review on their company, stating that every project I make is fraudulent, calling me a “big scammer” and stating that everything I make is weak.
However, on the 27th of October, 2025, I resolved the problem of the fake reviews and I left a bad review on their services. Either way, that is not my character. Behind everything I do, there is a reason. Finally, the controversy ended on this same day.
It’s November 2025, and I honestly can’t wait until my birthday. It’ll actually be fire with this new hosting community I made. I can confirm that, after all the fights and debates I had with my friends (Rex, Suleiman, Abo3leesh, SevenZero, and RedX_Gaming95), it has only been turned around for the best. I never want to fight with anyone again, which doesn’t mean I don’t stand firm on my decisions.
It’s the 20th of December, 2025, and this year is coming to an end as well. I just want to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. The support you guys show never ends, and I’m truly grateful for it. 2025 has helped me recover from all the drama and bad moments that happened with the controversy of last summer, in 2024. I hope you guys had a great year as well. Tomorrow I’ll turn 15 and I’ll keep you updated if anything interesting happens.
Well, it happened. I turned 15. It’ll be hard to remember that I’m 15 and not 14 for a few days. Nothing special happened today. All I did was thank the SodiumNodes community for their support. Have a great day everyone!
On the 8th of December, 2025, I contributed to the CtrlPanel documentation, and my PR got approved. This was the first time I contributed to an open-source project, and I hope to contribute my own code in the future.
At the end of December 2025, I started working on a server called PortalWix 2.0 owned by Abo3leesh. Sounds familiar to all the Craftsman fanboys. They’ll probably never forget about the massive controversy I had with Tubunga. PortalWix 2.0 was created using the world and plugin pack from PortalWix and Abo3leesh maintained it. I told him to call this new server PortalWix 2.0 and…the result of his hard work? A server full of players! Reviews all around the Craftsman community talking about PortalWix’s revival, over 40 players in the server, and hundreds of members in the Discord! PortalWix has certainly been an interesting journey for me. So far, around the end of January 2026 when I’m writing this, I do not take any credits for PortalWix other than occasionally moderating the Minecraft and Discord server. Abo3leesh and Sleman did everything. I’ll explain why later.
