Glowstone is a small Minecraft game-mode studio. We collect the minimum information needed to run accounts, playtests, and our community.
What we collect
When you sign in with Discord, we receive and store:
- Your Discord user ID, display name, email address, and avatar URL
- Your Discord guild membership in our server (cached briefly to check roles)
- Session metadata: an opaque session token, the IP address you signed in from, and the browser user-agent string
When you link your Microsoft account (used to identify you in Minecraft), we additionally store:
- Your Minecraft Java Edition UUID and current username
- Your Xbox Live ID (XUID), if available
- A Microsoft OAuth refresh token, so we can revalidate your link without asking you to sign in again
When you register interest in an event, we store the event slug and the time you registered.
Moderation actions (warnings, kicks, and bans) recorded against your Minecraft account are stored against your UUID, not your web account.
We do not use third-party analytics or advertising trackers.
Why we collect it
- Account identity and sign-in
- Connecting your web account to your in-game presence
- Running allowlists for playtests
- Enforcing moderation across our projects
- Diagnosing abuse (active session list, IP, user-agent)
How long we keep it
- Account, profile, and registrations: until you delete your account
- Sessions: until they expire or you revoke them
- Moderation history: indefinitely, even if you delete your account. This is intentional. It ensures bans cannot be evaded by deleting and recreating an account.
Sharing
We do not sell your data. We share it only with the providers we use to operate the service:
- Discord (sign-in, guild membership)
- Microsoft / Mojang (Minecraft account verification)
- Our hosting and database providers (storage of the data described above)
Your controls
From your account page you can:
- Sign out of any active session, or every other session at once
- Unlink your Minecraft account
- Delete your account entirely (moderation history is preserved as described above)

Questions or requests about your data can go to us on Discord.
