Pre-launch draft. Operator details must be completed before contributions open.
The experiment
One Dollar MC operates an independent Minecraft Java Edition server. A legitimate copy of Minecraft and Microsoft authentication are required. Playing is free. Contributions are optional and fund one global progression shared equally by all players.
Why this project exists and how funds are used
This is a personal project created to help pay the creator’s cancer-treatment expenses and reduce the financial burden on their parents, who are covering treatment costs and taking on debt. Contributions support those medical expenses and the costs of operating this project, including hosting and payment processing. The full gross USD amount also counts toward shared world progression. The global fund is a progression ledger; it is not a separate reserve restricted to land or server expenses. Contributions are personal support, not a purchase of land or a claim to a share of project funds. We do not claim registered charity status or tax deductibility. Once the treatment has been paid in full, the server will remain open, its operating costs will continue to be paid, and the creator plans to return to their passion for game development.
What a contribution means
You do not purchase land, an exclusive block, game resources, ownership or preferential access. All amounts are in US dollars. The border begins at 16 × 16. The first expansion costs $1.00, and each next expansion costs $0.50 more. Every completed goal increases world width by one block. Surplus funding carries forward, and one contribution may complete multiple goals.
Confirmation and availability
A contribution is recorded only after Stripe confirms payment. Border synchronization may be delayed by maintenance, outages or backups. New checkouts are paused after five minutes without server contact. Existing confirmed contributions remain recorded and synchronize when service returns. We cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability or perpetual operation.
Recognition and receipts
Contributors are anonymous publicly by default. Optional recognition publishes only the name or pseudonym and amount you authorize. Payment and allocation history is available through your private receipt link; keep it private. Contact the operator with your Stripe receipt if you need help recovering records.
Age and permission
You must be able to authorize the payment or have permission from your parent or guardian. Do not use another person’s payment method without authorization.
Refunds and world persistence
The refund policy explains how to request a refund. Completed world expansions are not reversed after refunds or disputes. There are no planned world resets; backups and recovery protect progress, but technical failures may require restoration from a backup. Mandatory consumer rights under applicable law remain unaffected.
