Built to be yours

Freedom, by design

Every part of Axe'n'Stax is built so it stays under your control — your world, your identity, your rules. The freedom is the point; everything else is a bonus of owning what you make.

🌍

Worlds that are truly yours

Your saves back up to encrypted cloud only you can open — end to end. Export a world and carry it anywhere, browser to desktop. Nobody can lock you out of what you built.

🔑

Identity you hold

Sign in with Signet — one persona for every world and server. No passwords, no email harvesting: you hold the keys, we never do. Parents hold the account and control nested child accounts.

🔓

Open source, self-hostable

Run a single binary on your laptop or a Kubernetes fleet on bare metal — same engine, same world format. The whole thing is yours to run, and nobody can switch it off.

⚖️

Your server, your rules

Run a world your way. Set the economy, set the moderation, decide what's allowed — no terms handed down from above, no licence boxing in what you can build or how you run it.

🚀

Custom engine, no ceilings

Built from scratch in Rust on wgpu. WebGPU in the browser, native on desktop. Designed to scale from a solo world up to large multiplayer servers.

🎨

Make it your own

Open the Workshop to reskin and reshape any block or mob — blow one up into a giant editable cage, paint it, carve it, mirror it with symmetry, then pin your design across every copy in the world.

Real proof-of-work, built in

Every pickaxe swing runs real SHA-256 — the same maths that secures Bitcoin — so you can see how proof-of-work actually works, and it keeps mining honest (no X-ray cheats). A future, parent-controlled Bitcoin layer is an optional bonus some servers may switch on — off by default, never required to play, never the point.

More ways to play

Experiences

Beyond the open sandbox, an experience drops a goal or a challenge on top of the world — play it, and your own world is never touched. Soon you'll build and share your own.

⛏️ Timed sprint

Hash Dash

A three-minute mining sprint. Crosshair on the hardest rock you can find, never stop swinging — most work when the buzzer goes wins.

🟧 Survival climb

Satori Rush

Start with nothing and race to the bottom of the world for your first Satori — the single rarest block in the game. Lower time, better run.
