Having a Verified Account on Minehut is a great, completely free way to stand out from the crowd and get extra perks in our community. We introduced Verified Minehut Accounts as a way to give our players some great new features that could be abused by alts and bots.
This FAQ article explains a little bit more about Verified Minehut Accounts, how to get setup, and what perks you can check out as a Verified Member.
Why does Minehut need Verified Accounts?
Verified Minehut accounts get a few different perks (with more to come in the future), and they’re all related to features that we need to really make sure that players aren’t abusing with alts or bots.
For example, our Server Boosts feature (which you can read about here), allows players to boost a free server to increase the playtime. If we don’t verify accounts, then we would definitely have to deal with alt and bot abuse trying to break the system. An alternative would be to make Verified Accounts or their individual features paid, but we really wanted to give a free path forward.
Verified Accounts allows us to give some neat new features and bonuses totally for free with a similar process to many other games and social networks.
How do I verify my Minehut account?
You can verify right now on your profile on Minehut. If you don’t already have an account, read our quick article about Getting Started on Minehut. You will also want to link your Minehut and Minecraft accounts, which you can learn to do in our support article here.
Now that you have a Minehut account and it’s linked to a Minecraft account, you can get Verified!
Step 1. Go to your Account Settings page and look for the Verified card
Step 2. Click the “Verify Your Account” button
Step 3. Follow the steps to download the GamerSafer app, which you will use to verify your account. You can download the GamerSafer app for Android or iOS. There is not a way to verify your account on anything other than Android or iOS.
Step 4. Once you have installed the GamerSafer app and created an account, click the “I Have My GamerSafer Account” button. You will now see a new popup to confirm you are ready to scan a QR code.
Step 5. Scan the QR code with the GamerSafer app. You will NOT use your phone’s QR code scanner app to scan the QR code. You will use the GamerSafer app to scan the QR code. There is a big button in the GamerSafer app to scan the QR code.
You must scan this QR code and accept the invite within 15 minutes or the code will expire and you will need to refresh the page.
If you do not see a QR code or get an error at this step, refresh the page and try again.
Step 6. Once you scan the QR code with the GamerSafer app, a message will appear on your phone asking if you would like to join the Minehut Guild. Do this.
Step 7. Wait for your user profile page on our website to update and show your new Verified account status!
Why use GamerSafer to verify accounts?
Verified Members get a lot of perks that could be abused by malicious users attempting to use bots and alts to manipulate the system. GamerSafer is a fast and secure way to verify that a user is a real human, not a bot or alt-abuser. None of your personal data from GamerSafer is saved to your Minehut or Minecraft profile, only the one-time verification status.
GamerSafer creates community management tools with a focus on security, privacy, and safety tech for multiplayer games. Learn more here.

Does Minehut see my verified personal data from GamerSafer?
While Minehut is owned by GamerSafer, the Minehut team and environments are entirely separate from the GamerSafer app. Any personal data that you share with the GamerSafer app is not shared with Minehut or saved on your Minehut account, only the one-time verification status. Your personal data is also not shared with any other Minecraft server or Mojang/Microsoft.
Can I verify multiple Minehut accounts?
No. It is only possible to link one GamerSafer account with one Minehut account. This is the purpose of verifying an account – to confirm that there is only one person who has verified that they own that account.
How often do I have to verify my Minehut account?
Only once! As long as you do not unlink your GamerSafer profile from your Minehut profile, you do not need to verify again.
Can other players see that I am Verified?
We are working on new features for Verified Minehut Accounts that we will release in the future, including a Verified Checkmark that will show in the game on your account, as well as on your servers that you create and list in the GUI!
How can I make it so that only Verified players can join my server?
This is a new feature that we are working on releasing in early 2025. Stay tuned for an announcement!
