Shared worlds. Familiar faces. Room for more.

The best part? The people.

Kind, chill players who know what you’re going through.

Members of Second Haven understand what it's like to live with fluctuating energy levels, brain fog, pain, anxiety, and grief. Most of us have chronic illness. Many of us are neurodiverse, and many belong to the LGBTQIA+ community. We are a truly welcoming, kindhearted bunch and look forward to meeting you!

Watch the recap

Less pressure. More possibility.

You don’t have to
fake wellness to belong.

Chronic illness, pain, fatigue, anxiety, or feeling out of step with the world can make social life complicated. We’re making a little more room for real life.

Whether you have energy for an adventure or just a quiet visit, you’re welcome to find a way to take part that works for you.

How we care for our community

Quiet is okay.

Voice chat is optional. Type a little, listen in, or enjoy being nearby.

Follow your own timing.

Log out when you need to. Come back when you can. No explanation required.

Beginners belong here, too.

Never placed a block? Ask for help with setup and your first steps in the world.

For the curious & the creative

A world with room
for your imagination.

Follow a path just to see where it goes. Plant a garden. Build the home you’ve been daydreaming about. Our shared Minecraft worlds grow with the people who call them home.

Start small, dream big, or enjoy what someone else has made. You don’t need a masterpiece to make your mark.

Good company.
A little happy chaos.

Cheer on a boat race. Get lost in a corn maze. Build something gloriously weird. Our seasonal festivals and community events give us reasons to meet up and make memories.

Join a game, explore the builds, or find a spot to watch the fun unfold.

Friendships
start here.

Share a little of your day on Discord. Sit by the campfire. Get to know someone while you build side by side. Connection can begin with something simple.

You can talk, type, or just spend time in the same world. There’s no need to arrive with a story to tell.

Who is Second Haven for?

Our community is built for people experiencing chronic illness, disability, fatigue, neurodiverse gifts, stigmatized identities, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or a difficult period of life.

Friends, family members, and allies are also welcome and encouraged to share the world with us. We welcome all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels.

Do I need to know how to play Minecraft?

No experience needed. Our community includes brand-new and experienced players. Ask us for help with setup, moving around, and finding something you’d enjoy doing. You can start by meeting people on Discord.

Do I have to talk or join voice chat?

No. Voice chat is optional, and quiet participation is welcome. You can use text, build alongside someone, or just enjoy a little shared company. You don’t need to explain why you prefer a particular way to connect.

What do I need to join the Minecraft world?

You’ll need Minecraft, an internet connection, and approval for your Minecraft username to join our server. Join our Discord or use the whitelist form above to get started. For current device and connection instructions, follow the Minecraft joining guide or ask our team for help.

Can I join without Minecraft or Discord?

You can take part in our Discord community without playing Minecraft. If you want to play Minecraft without using Discord, use the Minecraft signup form instead. You don’t need to use both spaces to begin.

How do you look after the community?

We have community norms, moderators, and an approval step for Minecraft access. Kindness, privacy, and respect for boundaries guide how we share the space. See our community rules and approach to community care.

Is this a safe space?

Our Discord and Minecraft servers are moderated by a trained and dedicated team. We also have extensive server protections that monitor chat messages and player behavior, allowing admin to kick or ban players within minutes. Inappropriate chat messages are automatically muted by our server. Hate speech, harassment, bullying, or abuse will result in a permanent ban.

We fully support the LGBTQIA+ community. Please review our rules and community norms and contact us with any concerns.
