This wouldn't kill Minecraft completely but it sure would make it feel like it did.

Thank you @Xipezy for setting this up. I started Autcraft in 2013 while still making websites but as demands grew, and as more and more very depressed children needed my attention, I had to make a decision... give up the server and focus on my work, or find a way to make Autcraft my full time "job". I turned to Patreon and asked for the support of my new community. They responded and supported me. It meant so much to me to know that people not only needed this so much but that they believed in me to provide for that need. Since then, I took a major income cut as most autism families don't have extra to spare, since autism diets, clothings, medications, therapies, etc can get expensive. For years, I survived but it's always been on the bare minimum. It's projects like this that give me new found hope. New avenues to explore. New options to be able to provide more. Even after 13 years of operation, there's still so much more we can do and this makes so much more possible for us. So I thank you for getting involved and wanting to not only do well for yourself but for wanting to help Autcraft as well. It means a lot to me because it means a lot to the children that find safety with us.

Players on Autcraft can create their own "showers" in their bases by renaming a shulker to "shower" and placing it above them. It'll detect the player and add water particles automatically.

Can confirm. This is me and my server. I appreciate the support of everyone involved. It means the world to me and to the players because it means we'll be able to do more going forward.

On behalf of everyone who has supported me (AutismFather) and my live streams, I am donating pretty much the entirety of my September stream income to the Canadian Cancer Society. I have lost my grandmother and my grandfather to cancer. My aunt is battling cancer right now. This is something that affects us all so I just want you to know that while I've always kept my stream income separate from my Autcraft income, reinvesting and trying to make my stream better, this month, I think it's only fitting that I take the kindness and generosity that you have shown me and put it towards something much larger. For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we, together, just pledged $500 towards Cancer research.

New Accessibility Feature on Autcraft! Recently a young player told us that their birthday is coming up soon but they're scared. They want to have a birthday party but the fireworks in Minecraft can sometimes trigger seizures due to Epilepsy. They asked us if we can have a party for them but not do fireworks. The problem with this is that we can't control what everyone else does. There's no way to reach every single player, especially since some players will be joining in on that very day, and some will just plain forget. This got me to thinking and on the same day he asked, I wrote a new plugin just for Autcraft that makes it so that each player can take control themselves. The new command on the server is: /togglefireworks Now, each Autcraft player can disable all fireworks from their point of view by running that command. Running it again turns them back on again. Players won't see them or hear them. This not only benefits players who may suffer from seizures but also those who have computers that might lag heavily under the weight of the particles, or players who are feeling overwhelmed at all of the lights and sounds. So if you or your little one is on Autcraft and you want to be able to turn off fireworks, now, you can do that.

We've been so busy over the last couple of months, with AutCon and more, that we didn't even realize that we blew passed 21,000 registered players. In fact, the list is now over 21,100! We can't thank you all enough for the continued support and we look forward to playing with more Minecrafters into the future! If you would like to join, or register your child, go to autcraft.com If you would like more information about the server, go to autcraft.info #autism #Minecraft

AutCon 2026! This year an in person AutCon is being held in England on the 23rd, while at the same time, players on the server can attend our AutCon area filled with lots to see, lots of mazes, games, and of course, collectables to find. Also, all players who sign onto the server on the 23rd (any time that day) will get an exclusive AutCon 2026 head that can't be obtained any other way or any other time. We try to find a bit of a balance since we know not everyone can make it to the live meet up in England, we give special items to those on the server that day. Those at the event may miss out on the collectables but they get to meet up for a day of fun together. Either which way, we can't wait to see you at AutCon!

While Autcraft runs on the kindness of donations, and we don't make much, we still believe that those who help us get where we are deserve to be paid/supported. That includes @WinRAR_RARLAB. We use WinRAR just about every day for our server logs and more. They deserve to be paid.

"Every person deserves to be treated with dignity" is a very harmful thing to say to someone when it's followed by a very clear lack of dignity towards you because of who you are. #autism #lgbtq #pride #neurodiversity

Feeling safe isn't just about being protected from bullies, it's knowing you can make mistakes, and not be punished or laughed at. It's knowing the people around you care. It's knowing you won't be judged for who you are. It's about finally being able to be yourself.

People ask what makes Autcraft different from other Minecraft servers. They expect rules, or plugins, or hardware to be the answer. That's not it at all. Autcraft is a server for autistic people, run by autistic people and their families. You must register to get access and we watch closely to ensure safety. We encourage families to play together, for safety reasons and unique bonding experiences. We make accommodations for unique autism needs. We build calm rooms, add line spaces, slow down the chat, build systems to encourage team work and friendships. We work with players, and in some cases, their parents, to help players do better, and to learn. We don't just ban people when they become a "problem". We see problem behaviors, not problem players. We encourage people to be their best selves and reward them for who they are and how they treat others, not for their abilities or skill levels. We cooperate, never compete. We don't automate, we're there, 24/7. We talk to players. We mute to prevent angry players from saying something they might regret, or to have others view them negatively, never to punish. If we do mute, we take the time to talk about it. We treat each other with respect and kindness. We absolutely do not tolerate bullying or toxicity. Autism makes us different. Autistic people are what makes Autcraft different. #autism #Minecraft #kindness #respect #differences #family #gaming #server

Cutting teens off from the Internet can prove to be more harmful than beneficial, imo. Bans and restrictions aren't the answer. Education and better moderation can help children blossom and find support in places that they never could otherwise. sciencepolitics.org/2026/07/…

This is what I hope for. I'm happy to reach people who can benefit from @AutCraft, but inspiring people to do more is my true goal. It doesn't have to be big, it just has to help. The more people who do that, the larger the impact it will have.

Some people still believe the outdated notion that bullying makes you stronger, or that it's a "right of passage." This is not true and has been proven false time and time again through research and science. The truth is that bullying causes an increase in suicides, emotionally stunted adults, abusive parents, and more. Bullying causes trauma, not testosterone. Forcing a child to endure bullying is torture, not parenting. Source: psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/…

It says a lot that some people see pride photos on a Minecraft server and assume that I, a straight man, built the server specifically to try to "turn children to gay". This not only shows a lot of ignorance, since you can't "turn someone gay", but it also makes a lot of wild assumptions about my intentions, who LGBTQ+ people even are, and the whole process of how things ever come to be to begin with. Autcraft has over 20,000 players, ages ranging from 6 to over 60. It stands to reason that some of those players would be among the LGBTQ+ population. Those players, as part of Pride month and Pride celebrations, requested to make an area that represents and celebrates who they are, in a safe way... much the same way that Autcraft itself represents and celebrates autistic people in a safe way. Of course, I said yes! It's a bunch of buildings, made by the community, in a separate area, much like our Halloween Town is, and just like our Christmas Village. These are places you can go to if you want to, or not if you don't want to. I will always support people for who they are, whether autistic or not, LGBTQ+ or not, and if you are a hateful person, I will even support you too, but in a separate area, that people don't have to go to if they don't want to. You don't want me to force Pride on people, then please don't force your hatred on us. Autcraft is a safe space for the autistic LGBTQ+ community and always will be.
