Servers stay online
Hosting, backups, and protection for every world — paid for by donations, not ads.
Support the network
Free forever. Funded by you.
Sunlit and Exosphere have no store and no paid ranks. If you want to keep the worlds online — and bring the next one to life — a small donation does exactly that. Lakebound's optional QoL ranks live on that world's own shop.
Support Boundless
Free for everyone. Powered by donations.
If Boundless is your place, chip in for the server bill — a coffee on Ko-fi, monthly or one-off, or a few euros a month on Patreon. That's it. Donations unlock nothing in-game.

Questions
Good to know
Is this pay-to-win?
No. Every world is free to join, and donating unlocks zero gameplay advantage. Lakebound's Homesteader, Rancher, and Mayor ranks are quality-of-life only — they stay on that world and don't carry over.
Do I get anything for donating?
The Supporter role and a colored name on the Discord, plus our genuine thanks. That's deliberate — perks stay cosmetic so donations never become a paywall.
I bought a Lakebound rank — what happens to it?
Nothing changes. Those ranks stay on Lakebound and keep working exactly as before. Browse them on the Lakebound shop — they're separate from network donations and don't follow you to other worlds.
Where does the money actually go?
Hosting, backups, and infrastructure first; anything beyond that funds the next world. Boundless is a community project — nobody draws a salary from it.
How do I donate?
Ko-fi for monthly or a one-off, Patreon for a small monthly amount — both linked above.
