Minecraft's latest update includes enforcement of the UK's new Online Safety Act 2023... and it is a disaster.

Let us start out by saying to our players and their families: If you get into Minecraft and find that you can not use the chat, it is NOT because you did anything wrong.

On the surface, this new law and its implementation seems well intentioned, but it has been mishandled and enforced in the worst possible ways. This is supposed to only affect people in the UK, but we are seeing players in New Zealand, Japan, Germany, South Africa, and literally everywhere else affected by this. They are signing on and discovering that they are locked out of the server chat. And not just children! EVERYONE. Also, it's not just...

Minecraft itself has just updated but Autcraft has not, which means that if you load up the game, it may be telling you that you are on the wrong version. This is because the launcher automatically defaults to "Latest Release" when it loads and Autcraft is not on the latest version.

To fix this, you'll need to change the loaded version to 1.21.11 before clicking the big green Play button.

June is Pride Month! As we do each year, we've set up a whole new set of Pride Heads to collect, different from all of the previous years. This year we've added a new one so there are 21 to collect! Also, they're set on a 1 day timer meaning you can come back each day of the month to get another set.

In addition to the heads, there are map arts, books filled with relevant information, super cheap shops with lots of decoration items, and the admins will be sporting new skins which means Admin Pride 2026 heads to get!

On Autcraft, people are accepted for who they are. Everyone deserves to be their own true selves without question, without fe...

Sign onto the Autcraft server any time on May the Fourth and May the Fifth to receive a free Star Wars head in your inventory!

Make sure you have at least one empty spot in your inventory and make sure you are signing in at a location that has your regular inventory, so not RP world, or minigames.

On Autcraft, all mobs drop heads. Animals, monsters, all of them. The chance of a head dropping is low, but given enough time, you should be able to collect them all. But what's more, if a head does drop, there's a small chance that it could be a shiny head. These are extra rare versions of mob heads that drop very even less frequently.

Except for the month of May. You see, May is shiny month, which means that heads will drop more often, and so will shiny heads!

For the entire month of May, drop rates will be increased. Not only that, we'll be adding new shiny heads to discover! Some of these new shiny heads will be available starting on t...
