A parent signs up
It starts with a grown-up. A parent or guardian makes an account, and for kids that's the rule: a parent signs them up. We approve people we know, and you're in.
🚀 First time?
Three steps and you're in
No technical knowledge required. Honest.
2
Add your players
Once you're signed in, add your kids' Minecraft names in the portal (your own too, if you play). We check each name for you and get them onto the server.

Follow the steps
Each service has plain-English instructions for phones, TVs and computers. Stuck at any point? Just ask. That's what the host is for.
👀 For parents
Peek at the chat, anytime
Curious what goes on in there? Parents and guardians can quietly read along with the in-game chat, and see who's playing. It's the same account you signed up with, so there's nothing extra to set up.
- Every message, searchable
- Any device, no game needed
- Approved by hand, family only
🤝 The deal
A few house rules
Nothing scary, just what keeps this running smoothly for everyone.
-
Everyone here knows someone hereAnyone joining has to know a member of the family. Friends, and friends of friends, are welcome. Strangers off the internet aren't. If you bring someone in, they're your +1, so vouch for them.
-
Keep it family friendlyKids use these servers too. Build, share, and chat like grandma's in the room.
-
Worlds get backed upSaves and worlds here are backed up nightly, but nothing's ever a guarantee. Don't build anything you'd truly hate to lose.
-
Ask before you assumeIf something looks broken, say so. Half the time it's a five-minute fix nobody knew about.
-
It's free, enjoy itNo fees, no ads, no tracking. Just say thanks once in a while and we're square.

Want access to something? Can't get logged in? Server not letting you in? Send a message and it'll get sorted.
Does any of this cost me anything?
Nope. It's a hobby that got out of hand. If you want to chip in on hardware someday that's lovely, but it's never expected.
Can I use it on my phone, tablet or console?
Yes. Each service above lists the apps that work best on each device. Minecraft works on just about anything, though Switch and the other consoles need a bit of one-time setup, which the "How do I join?" section walks you through.
Is my stuff private?
Your account is yours, and nothing here is sold, shared, or fed to advertisers. That said, the host has admin access to the machines, same as any service you'd use.
Something's down. What do I do?
Give it ten minutes. It's often a reboot or an update. If it's still out, send a message. You're probably not the only one, but you might be the first to notice.
Can I bring my kids, partner or a friend along?
Yes, as long as they know you. Everyone here is family, or a friend of someone who is; we don't add strangers off the internet. Point them your way, or have them mention you when they ask, and they'll get set up with their own login and whitelist spot. Their own account, never a shared one. That keeps things tidy, and nobody's passing a password around.
