Privacy Policy

1. General Information

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. This privacy policy informs you about how we handle your personal data when you use our website.

Our services address a general audience interested in Minecraft and do not collect any age-specific data. People under 16 should only give consent to optional external content (see points 3 and 6) with the approval of a parent or legal guardian.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data solely on the basis of the following legal grounds:

• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest): for automatically collected server log data (see point 4) and for technically necessary local storage, e.g. theme and sound settings (see point 5) – our legitimate interest lies in the secure and stable operation of the website.
• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest): for processing the values you enter (e.g. a player name, UUID, or server address) through our own MC-Craft API (see point 6) – our legitimate interest lies in providing the tools technically without requiring your browser to connect directly to third-party providers.
• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with § 25(1) TDDDG (consent): for the one non-technically-necessary external resource (optional font, see point 6), which is only loaded after your explicit consent in the cookie banner.
• § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG: for local storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service you explicitly requested (e.g. your favourites or your pins on the Biome Map) – no separate consent is required for this.

We do not pass your data on to third parties for advertising purposes. The direct connections to Mojang described in point 6 now only cover skin and cape image files as well as version details and patch notes on the Minecraft Versions page, and arise solely from your active use of a tool.

4. Hosting and Server Log Files

With each access to our website, connection data is automatically stored:

• IP address
• Date and time of access
• Browser and operating system used
• Name of the retrieved file

This website is provided via Cloudflare Pages, a service of Cloudflare, Inc. (USA). The connection data listed above – in particular the IP address and HTTP request data – is processed by Cloudflare in order to deliver the website securely and reliably (content delivery, DDoS protection, technical operation).

The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure and stable operation of the website). The recipient of the data is Cloudflare as our hosting and content delivery provider. Because Cloudflare operates a global network, this can involve a transfer to third countries outside the EU/EEA, including the USA; Cloudflare relies on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR) as an appropriate safeguard for this.

This data is collected purely for technical purposes – to ensure smooth operation, system security, and to optimize our offering – and is not combined with other data sources. The retention period follows the standard retention periods of our hosting provider Cloudflare for connection and log data; security-relevant incidents may require longer retention for evidentiary purposes.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

We do not use classic server-side cookies for tracking. Instead your browser stores a few settings purely locally on your own device (localStorage) – this data is never sent to us:

• mc-craft-theme – chosen color theme (Overworld/Nether/End)
• mc-craft-season-fx – chosen seasonal animation (automatic, a specific one or off); only when you change it yourself
• mc-craft-sound – whether sound effects are on or off
• mc-craft-color-edition – chosen edition (Java/Bedrock) in the color text converter
• mc-craft-terms-accepted, mc-craft-terms-accepted-date – whether and when you accepted the terms of use
• mc-craft-cookie-consent – your own cookie banner decision
• mc-craft-skin-poser (IndexedDB) – images you save under “My Renders” in the Skin Poser; only when you save them yourself, and you can delete them right in the gallery
• mc-craft-favorite-tools – tools you marked as favourite with the star; only when you mark them yourself, removable on the homepage
• mc-craft-recent-tools – the tools you used last, for the homepage and the search; nothing is stored with “Reject all”, “Clear history” deletes it
• mc-craft-biome-map-pins, mc-craft-biome-map-done, mc-craft-biome-map-seeds – your own pins, structures marked as done (per seed) and saved seeds on the Biome Map; only when you set them yourself

On your first visit we show a cookie banner. If you reject "external content", the content it affects (an optional font on the Advancement Generator page and the Discord widget, see point 6) really is not loaded – not just the banner hidden. You can also load the Discord widget once with a click instead. You can change your decision at any time via the cookie button in the bottom-left corner of every page. You can also disable storage entirely in your browser settings.

6. External Services, Fonts & APIs

Self-hosted: Fonts (Chakra Petch, Space Grotesk – Google Fonts, SIL Open Font License), the Font Awesome icon library, the three.js/SkinView3D 3D libraries, the libraries for the 3D mob models (Bridge Model Viewer, Wintersky, MoLang), gif.js for GIF exports, UPNG.js for APNG exports, deepslate for the Schematic Viewer and cubiomes (MIT license) for the Biome Map are served from our own server. Your browser does not load them directly from Google, Font Awesome, or their respective external CDNs, but via MC-Craft's hosting infrastructure. Information about the Cloudflare infrastructure used for this is available in point 4 (Hosting and Server Log Files).

No data transfer: Circle & Sphere Generator, Gamerule Generator, Chest Generator, Armor Stand Generator, Item Generator, Banner Generator (except the player head, see below), Bossbar Generator, Hologram Generator, Spawner Generator, Texture Editor, Mob Editor, HUD Editor, Inventory Editor, Resource Pack Updater (your pack stays in your browser), Display Generator, Painting Generator (the picture stays in your browser), 3D Print (except the skin figure by player name, see below), XP Calculator, Anvil Calculator, Mining Time Calculator, Stack Calculator, Biome Map, Biome Wiki, Potion Generator, Tellraw & Title Generator, Book Generator, Firework Generator, Armor Trim Generator, Schematic Viewer, Crafting Recipes, Sign Generator, Head Texture Generator, Nether Coordinate Calculator, Minecraft Command Generator, Map Art Generator, Structure Converter, Text Converter, Color Text Converter, QR Generator, Advancement Generator (except the optional font, see below), Day-Night Cycle, Beacon Color Mixer, Heads Database, Capes Database, Skin Library, End Poem and the search on every page run entirely in your browser. Textures, sounds, 3D models and recipe data – including those in the Items and Mobs Database – are served from our own server. What you enter and the files you use never leave your device.

YouTube links: the music disc details in the Items Database only contain a link to a YouTube search; nothing is embedded or loaded in advance. Only when you click the link does youtube.com open – Google's privacy policy applies there.

Optional external content: on the Advancement Generator page we optionally load a pixel font from fonts.cdnfonts.com for the preview image. On the Support, Bug Report and Emails pages we show the widget of our Discord server from discord.com; Discord may set its own cookies, and Discord's privacy policy applies. In both cases your IP address is transmitted to the respective provider. Both only happen if you choose "Accept all" in the cookie banner – alternatively you can load the Discord widget once with a click. If you reject it, the preview uses a fallback font and a notice is shown instead of the widget.

Our own MC-Craft API: the Server Status, Skin Lookup, Locator Bar Color (not for offline servers), Server MOTD & Icon (only when loading a player head), Statue Generator, Skin Editor, Skin Poser, Chibi Skin Maker, Minecraft Versions and Minecraft API Status tools, the Banner Generator (only when loading a player head) and 3D Print (only for the skin figure by player name) send the value you enter (e.g. a Minecraft username/UUID or a server address) to our own interface at api.mc-craft.com when actively used. Like our website itself, this runs on Cloudflare's infrastructure (Cloudflare Workers, see point 4) and queries the respective official Minecraft/Mojang services in the background, so your browser no longer has to connect to these third-party providers directly. In Skin Lookup, Skin Editor, and Skin Poser, our API also delivers the skin texture itself (source: textures.minecraft.net), so your browser no longer connects directly to Mojang for that either. Your input is processed only to answer the respective request and is not permanently stored or logged.

Still loaded directly by your browser: the default skins (Steve/Alex) and cape images in Skin Lookup, Skin Editor, and Skin Poser and the skins in the Statue Generator preview are fetched directly by your browser, since these are plain image resources. The Capes Database and the Skin Library only use images from our own server:

• Default skins and cape images (Skin Lookup, Skin Editor, Skin Poser, Statue Generator preview): textures.minecraft.net
• Download details and patch notes of a version (Minecraft Versions, only when you open a version): piston-meta.mojang.com, launchercontent.mojang.com

These image requests run directly between your browser and Mojang – our server never sees or stores this data. These are official/public Minecraft services, not advertising or tracking providers.

7. Data Security

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against loss, manipulation or unauthorized access.

We do not share your data with third parties for advertising or analytics purposes. The direct connections to Mojang/Microsoft services described in point 6 arise solely from your active use of a tool and are outside our control. Data transmission between your browser and our server is encrypted via HTTPS (TLS); unencrypted connections are not offered (HSTS).

8. Analysis Tools

Important: We do not use any tracking or analysis tools like Google Analytics. Your visit remains private.
