Libre Galaxy Games

Applying ethical technology principles to gaming.


🪐 Planets: Your Space to Build and Explore

Whether you’re a builder looking for a great starting point with a complete toolbox or a player seeking unique adventures, these are your automatically protected worlds to enjoy solo or with friends. You’re in control: manage who has access, how they can interact, and configure settings like game rules and warp locations.


Launch your next experience from our library of templates. You’ll find everything from beautiful seeds to interactive worlds; many are contributions from our community, alongside classic maps we’ve saved from being lost forever.


🛠️ Powerful Tools, Instantly

We provide a powerful suite of open-source and custom tools to bring your ideas to life.



🏆 Our Advantage

We’ve built what we believe is one of the best creative experiences available, centered on two core principles: trust and empowerment.


Trust

We trust you with the tools you need to be truly creative and have fun. There are no arbitrary restrictions holding you back.



Empowerment

Many servers place frustrating limits on players. We do things differently.



🤝 Play Together: Java & Bedrock

Connect with friends no matter what device they use. We support the latest versions of Minecraft for both Java and Bedrock, allowing everyone to play together in the same world.

Does Libre Galaxy Games support Axiom?

No, we do not support Axiom because it does not meet our open-source software requirements and requires a commercial license.
