- Is BotSteve a free Minecraft server?
- Yes, while we build it. Every account gets a private Minecraft world, a server for you and the friends you invite, with an AI teammate for each player. Free, and no card needed.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. Your usual Minecraft, Java or Bedrock, and the address of your world. No mods and no launcher.
- Can Java and Bedrock players play together?
- Yes. Java and Bedrock players join the same world at the same address, so crossplay works out of the box. How to play together
- Is BotSteve an alternative to Minecraft Realms?
- Yes. Like a Realm it is a private, invite-only world. Unlike a Realm, every player gets an AI teammate, and Java and Bedrock players share one world. Minecraft Realms Plus costs £6.69 a month; BotSteve is free during early access. BotSteve vs Realms
- Is the AI companion a mod?
- No, it is a player. It joins your world with its own name and inventory, and it talks only to you.
- What happens when nobody is playing?
- Your world is saved and sleeps. Open it here and it wakes in about a minute, just as you left it.
- Do you keep what I say to my bot?
- Your messages stay in your world so your bot can follow the conversation. A message our checks flag, such as an attempt to trick the AI, is also kept for 90 days so the BotSteve team can look at it, then deleted.
- How do I tell you what I think?
- Press Feedback on your bot’s page. The team reads every one.
