Autcraft is a specialized Minecraft server designed specifically for children and adults on the autism spectrum and their families. As a whitelisted server, it requires players to register and apply if they or a family member has autism, allowing them to join a safe and supportive community of peers. The application process typically takes about a week, during which the server administrators assess the applications to maintain a welcoming environment. The server was founded by Stuart Duncan, also known as AutismFather, who has autism himself and is a parent to a child with autism. The management of the server includes a team of adults, some of whom are autistics or parents of autistic children, alongside a dedicated group of "Helpers" who assist players in various ways.
Autcraft prioritizes safety and respect within its community by strictly prohibiting behaviors such as bullying, swearing, and griefing. Players can request help through an in-game support ticket system, ensuring that they receive assistance when needed. To enhance player experience and security, builds are protected using WorldGuard, and all in-game actions are tracked for accountability. The community also engages in fun activities with various mini-games like hide and seek, mob arena, and spleef, as well as organized events such as community Wither fights. Overall, Autcraft provides a unique and inclusive gaming atmosphere where individuals with autism can thrive and enjoy the Minecraft experience together.
