Only the players you name get through the gate.

Minesight runs two private Minecraft Java Edition servers: one for families, and one for teenagers aged 13 to 17. A parent names every player, and nobody else can join.

Compare the plans

Two servers, one price list

Each server is separate, with its own world and its own guest list. Everyone sees the same price list.

Family server

For children aged 12 and under, playing with brothers, sisters and cousins.

  • Checking prices…
  • Easy survival world, player versus player switched off
  • Only children whose parents have signed up
  • At 13 a player moves to the teen server

What keeps it safe

Minesight is built for parents who want their children to play together online without meeting strangers.

A closed guest list
Each server only accepts usernames a paying parent has added. Anyone else is turned away at the door.
Real accounts only
Every player needs a genuine Minecraft Java Edition account, checked when you sign up and again when they connect.
An adult runs it
Both servers are run by Oversight Labs Limited. Chat is logged, and the operator can remove anyone who breaks the house rules.
Teens and younger children kept apart
The teen server is only for ages 13 to 17. Younger children play on the family server.
Report anything, any time
Players and parents can report a concern. An adult reads every report.
Nothing sold in game
No loot boxes, no pay to win and no purchase prompts in the game. Optional cosmetic extras are bought by a parent on this website.
Worlds are backed up
Both worlds are backed up every day, so a griefed build or a bad day can be rolled back.
Cancel any time
Manage or cancel the membership yourself. When it ends, the players are removed from the guest list automatically.

How joining works

  1. Choose a server and a plan

    Pick the server for your children's ages and how many players, then enter each player's Java Edition username.

  2. Pay securely with Stripe

    You pay on Stripe's checkout page. We never see or store your card details.

  3. We open the gate

    Your players are added to their server's guest list within a minute or two of payment.

  4. Connect and play

    In Minecraft, choose Multiplayer, then Add Server, and enter the server address shown after payment.

Questions parents ask

Which server is right for us?

Children aged 12 and under play on the family server. From 13 to 17, players use the teen server, which is separate and bigger. If you have children on both, sign up once for each server.

What happens when my child turns 13?

Sign them up to the teen server and remove them from your family plan. Email us and we will move them across.

What are extras?

Optional cosmetic items, such as a coloured name, and entry to seasonal events. A parent buys them in the extras shop on this website and they appear in game for the chosen player. They never give a gameplay advantage, and nothing is sold inside the game.

Why does a parent have to pay for the teen server?

Memberships are agreements that only an adult can make, and a parent should know which server their teenager plays on.

Which devices can players use?

Minesight runs Minecraft Java Edition, which plays on Windows, Mac and Linux computers. Bedrock Edition on consoles, tablets and phones cannot connect.

Does each player need their own Minecraft account?

Yes. Each player needs their own paid Minecraft Java Edition account. That is a Minecraft rule and it is how the server checks who is connecting.

Can I change the usernames later?

Email us from the address you signed up with and we will update the guest list.

What happens if a payment fails?

Stripe retries the payment for a short while and your players keep access during that time. If the membership ends, they are removed from the guest list.

How do I report a problem?

Use the report a concern page. If a child is in immediate danger, call 999.

Is this an official Minecraft server?

No. Minesight is run independently by Oversight Labs Limited and is not approved by or associated with Mojang or Microsoft.
