After witnessing his autistic son and other children face harassment on public Minecraft servers, web developer Stuart Duncan created Autcraft in 2013. The private server offers a safe, heavily moderated space built entirely on kindness, where autistic children can play freely without fear of bullying.
Every player must pass a screening process to join, ensuring a supportive environment. The platform quickly evolved into much more than just a game, helping families build confidence, make friends, and form genuine connections.
The community has grown to over 18,000 members. Driven by the server's profound impact, Duncan eventually quit his career and took a lower income to manage Autcraft full-time, dedicating his life to supporting thousands of families around the world.
