Our Story
From a small community to a company with original products.
Timeline
The Origins: NearDevs
It all started in 2024 with a small Discord community called NearDevs. We were a group of developers focused exclusively on creating Discord bots, building tools that solved real community management problems.
Rebranding: Citymoon Dynamics
In 2025 we updated our image, expanded the team and adopted the name Citymoon Dynamics. This transition marked our evolution toward a broader scope: Minecraft plugins, web development and professional technical infrastructure.
Vulcan + Grim Prime AC - First Premium
With excellent numbers in free downloads on BuiltByBit, we launched our first premium resource: an optimized configuration for Vulcan and Grim that was incredibly well received. However, a bad actor (skidder) published copies of our free resources as premium products, overshadowing our launch and hurting our reputation.
DisBan - First Commercial Plugin
The skidder incident led us to move away from configurations and focus on original software. DisBan was born as the answer: the most complete PaperMC plugin to synchronize bans, manage appeals, link Discord accounts, implement staff 2FA and sync ranks across platforms.
Synth Anticheat - Official Launch
On September 1st we launched Synth Anticheat (synth.citymoon.org), our first complete serverside anticheat. Built from scratch with PacketEvents, Synth offers +300 checks across versions 1.8 to 26.2.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths
- Founding team with deep technical expertise in Java, Kotlin and the Minecraft ecosystem
- Own products with real traction (downloads, reviews, active users)
- Proven track record: Synth AC, DisBan, Ulises Licenses
- Organic presence in the BuiltByBit community
Weaknesses
- Small team: high dependency on key individuals
- Limited marketing resources compared to established competitors
- Vulnerability to bad actors (skidding)
Opportunities
- Growing demand for quality serverside anticheat plugins
- Expansion into corporate web services for gaming communities
- SaaS/license model with Synth AC and DisBan still largely untapped
- Spanish-speaking community underserved in premium Minecraft infrastructure
Threats
- Competitors with greater resources (Polar, Vulcan, etc.)
- Piracy and skidding of resources (already experienced first-hand and improved our systems to fix them)
- Paper/Minecraft API changes requiring frequent rewrites
- Oversaturation of free anticheat configuration market
Our Values
Technical Innovation
We build solutions from scratch with our own technology, avoiding third-party libraries when we can do it better ourselves.
Community First
We were born on Discord. Every decision we make considers the real impact on server admins and players in our communities.
Uncompromising Quality
We'd rather ship late than ship broken. Every product is held to the standard of someone who runs it in real production.
