What Gatebound is
Gatebound is a Minecraft server whose only content is a menu of servers you saved. Picking one asks your game client to disconnect and reconnect to that address. It is a launcher, not a host, not a proxy, and not a party to whatever happens after the handover.
Preview status
This is a preview release. Features may change, the service may restart without warning, and saved data - while treated carefully - is not guaranteed against loss. Keep a note of any address you would be upset to lose.
Using it
You may use Gatebound to save and reach servers you are entitled to join. You must not:
- use it to attack, flood, scan or otherwise disrupt any host, including this one;
- save entries that direct other players to servers designed to harm them;
- attempt to reach another player's list, forge an identity, or interfere with the link-code system;
- automate connections in a way that degrades the service for other players;
- use it in breach of the Minecraft End User Licence Agreement or the usage rules of Microsoft, Mojang, Xbox or your platform holder.
Access may be withdrawn from anyone doing these things, without notice, for as long as it takes to stop them.
Your saved servers
The entries in your list are yours to manage and yours to be responsible for. Gatebound does not check, endorse or moderate the destinations you save, does not know what runs on them, and has no relationship with their operators. Connecting to a third party's server is a matter between you and that operator, under their rules.
Availability
The service is offered free of charge and with no availability commitment. It may be interrupted for maintenance, changed, or discontinued. Nothing here creates a service level agreement.
No warranty
Gatebound is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for loss of data, arising from use of the service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited - including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
Where a mandatory consumer protection law in your country gives you rights that these terms cannot override, those rights stand.
Trademarks and independence
Gatebound is independent software. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or associated with Mojang Studios, Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo. Minecraft is a trademark of Mojang Synergies AB. All other marks belong to their owners and are used only to describe compatibility.
Privacy
How your data is handled is set out in the privacy policy and the cookie policy, which form part of these terms.
Changes
These terms may change. The date at the top of this page moves when they do, and continuing to use the service afterwards means the new version applies.
