Optional support

Help us keep building Bindspire.

Bindspire is built carefully, one system, story, railway, and improvement at a time. If this world has become somewhere you enjoy spending time, a little optional support helps us keep it healthy and gives us more room to build what comes next.

Playing is free. Supporting is optional. Everyone is treated the same.

Ways to support

Monthly support

$5 per month

Give Bindspire a steadier foundation for infrastructure, development tools, and ongoing improvements. It renews automatically, and you can cancel through Stripe whenever you like.

Support monthly

Secure checkout through Stripe. No in-game benefits.

One-time contribution

Choose your amount

Give whatever feels right. There's no suggested amount and no recurring commitment.

Choose an amount

$1 minimum. Secure checkout through Stripe.

Where support goes

Every net contribution stays with Bindspire.

Net contributions are reserved for operating and developing Bindspire, never for unrelated projects or personal spending.

Keep the world dependable

Server hardware, hosting, electricity, networking, backups, protection, monitoring, and the quiet reliability work nobody sees.

Build better systems

The website, the world map, the launcher and profile experience, Roger, community tools, modpack work, and server software.

Move good work forward

Testing infrastructure, development tools, commissioned assets, professional development work, and projects that directly improve Bindspire.

"Net" just means after transaction costs like processing fees, refunds, and disputes. Paying for legitimate development work (labor, commissioned assets, infrastructure, professional services) counts as operating and developing Bindspire.

Support does not put anyone above anyone else.

A contribution helps Bindspire keep building. It doesn't buy in-game items, ranks, perks, priority, recognition, or any say over the server. Everyone plays on the same footing, supporter or not.

If we ever add a separate supporter program down the road, we'll announce and explain it clearly. Contributions made here don't buy or reserve anything in it.

Already supporting monthly?

Use Stripe's secure billing portal to update your payment method, review billing history, or stop future renewals. Enter the same email address you used at checkout, and Stripe will send you a secure sign-in link.

Common questions

The short version: playing is free, support is optional, and nothing here changes anyone's standing.

Does supporting change how I am treated on the server?

Not at all. Support doesn't affect staff decisions, rules, moderation, suggestions, access, or anyone's standing in the community.

Can I cancel monthly support?

Yes, anytime. Monthly support is managed and canceled through Stripe, and canceling simply stops future renewals.

Can I change the monthly amount?

Monthly support comes in $5, $10, $25, and $50 options. To switch amounts, cancel your current one through Stripe and start a new one at the amount you like. The one-time contribution is always there too.

Is this tax-deductible?

No. This is voluntary support for Bindspire, not a tax-deductible charitable contribution.

Can completed contributions be refunded?

Completed contributions are generally final, but if something looks like a duplicate, unauthorized, or clearly mistaken payment, just reach out in the #help channel on the Bindspire Discord and we'll take a look.

Will I receive benefits later?

No benefits are promised. If we ever add a supporter program, it will be separate and clearly announced, and contributions made here won't buy or reserve anything in it.
