Choosing the right donation plugin for your Minecraft server matters. Fees, payment methods, ease of setup, and chargeback protection all vary significantly between platforms.
The Options in 2025
The main platforms for Minecraft server monetization in 2025 are Tebex (formerly BuyCraft), Craftingstore, and ForgeStore. Each has different strengths.
Fee Comparison
| Platform | Free Plan Fee | Paid Plan Fee | Crypto |
|---|---|---|---|
| ForgeStore | 7% | 3% (€9/mo) | ✅ 50+ coins |
| Tebex | ~9% | ~5% (varies) | Limited |
| Craftingstore | 7% | 4% | ❌ |
Why Crypto Support Matters
A significant portion of Minecraft players are under 18 or live in countries where card payments are difficult. Crypto solves both problems — no age restriction, works globally, and eliminates chargebacks entirely.
