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!

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!
Replying to @Minecraft
We've been sitting around on Autcraft for over 8 years now. Glad you all could join us. Pull up a seat.
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.
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.

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.
