Hi everyone!

Running a Minecraft server network of our size takes a lot of time and in Australia it also takes a lot of money. To support the number of servers/worlds we have with minimal lag, it requires a lot of hardware. Unfortunately, hosting costs in Australia are considerably higher than in many other places in the world and we rely solely on donations to keep AddstarMC running.

In recent months, we've been struggling to meet our monthly donation goals in order to cover costs. We're getting close to the end of the June and so far (at the time of writing this post) we have only received 61% of our required donations this month. We know we have been very slow to release new content this year, and we apologise for that. We have been working on some really big projects and we also had a lot less time to work on things due to personal IRL committments.


AddstarMC is entirely run by volunteer staff and no one is paid (not even admins). The money we ask for is purely to pay for the costs in running all the services (server hosting, data usage, website, Ventrilo server, etc). All the money goes into keeping AddstarMC going.

We completely understand that many of you unable to donate and that's absolutely fine. But if you are fortunate enough to be able to donate and you enjoy playing AddstarMC, please consider helping us <3

So we'd like to hear from the community suggestions of things that might help encourage donations.
Please comment on this forum post or use the Contact Us form if you'd like to make a private suggestion.

Current suggestions so far:
* Increase maximum number of homes
* Portable enchant table, ender chest, anvil (via command)
* /disposal command

* Nether world that doesn't reset + Extra nether that resets (for resources)
* Additional Skyblock islands/land
* Survival world reset
* Player owned warps
* Mob disguises
* Survival /fly
* Access to /trails particle effects (cosmetic)
* Official AddstarMC merchandise
* Donation subscriptions with exclusive benefits

Something that people that can donate should consider....

If you play AddstarMC a lot, and that's how you would like to use your time; it's kind of like having a hobby that you respect. For example, IRL I do a lot of dance, and violin. I spend time practicing and going to lessons and taking classes which I looooooooooooove doing; I respect the two hobbies a lot. I show that by.. well... paying to do all of that stuff!

AddstarMC is kind of our lives, if you are a player, you know what I mean. Donate to this community because it's what you do practically every day. You spend YOUR time on this Minecraft server. YOU are being a leader and a role model when you donate because YOU are showing respect for something that YOU do so often. Just imagine if this community and server were taken away, because there were not enough donations. What would you do now? You have nothing else to do! This was your hobby, your happy place where you could interact with people and have fun!

Your hobby, your life was just taken away from you.*

Things will be free, but some things it is truly a good thing to donate for. If you enjoy something, you should show respect. On AddstarMC, I believe that along with being nice to everyone on the server (staff, donators, players) that donating is one of the most respectful things you can do. (Breaks into emotional speech of "Just Do It"!

Any donation is accepted, whether you're using your allowance money or your huge savings account. Help the penguins <3 Hope this helped people find their heart to donate!
