Through THE UNBANNABLE PROTEST, you can show your support and solidarity for the rights of women in Afghanistan, who have been censored from all forms of expression including social media. How does it work? THE UNBANNABLE PROTEST is a VPN (Virtual Private Network) platform that allows you to geographically connect in Afghanistan. Once connected, you can post as many support messages as you want using a hashtag predetermined by the platform to join the same geolocated conversation, increasing it more and more.

MineChat

MineChat is a mobile client for Minecraft: Java Edition servers on iPhone and iPad. Connect directly from your device to read and send chat, run slash commands, check your inventory, walk around with touch controls, or keep your accounts online while AFK. MineChat speaks the Minecraft protocol directly from your device — there is no relay server, no proxy, and nowhere else your credentials ever go. MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS AT ONCE • Connect with more than one account at the same time — on the same server or on different servers — and switch between active sessions with a tap • Each connection keeps its own live chat, map, and inventory running while you view another • Active connections stay at the top of the home screen with unread message badges • Built-in memory monitor warns you before opening more connections than your device can handle CHAT, CONTROLS, MAP & INVENTORY • Full Minecraft chat with server colors, formatting, hover tooltips, clickable links, command autocomplete, and a one-tap hotkey bar • Player list (Tab) with live ping indicators, scoreboards, boss bars, and health/hunger/XP bars • Touch controls with on-screen joystick, camera look, jump, sneak, fly, block/entity interaction, and customizable HUD layout • Free live 2D top-down map around your character showing terrain, nearby players, and mobs • Full 36-slot inventory and container viewer (armor, off-hand, hotbar, chests, barrels, shulker boxes, furnaces, hoppers) rendered with item textures, durability bars, and enchantments • Sign in with a Microsoft account (official OAuth flow, tokens stored in the iOS Keychain) or join offline-mode / LAN servers with any username • Live server status (MOTD, player count, latency) on the home screen and via the iOS Home Screen Widget • Screen-off AFK mode and background session support (including extended background sessions on iOS 26+) FREE FEATURES Everything you need for daily server use is included for free: • Up to 2 simultaneous connections at the same time • Up to 2 saved accounts, 3 saved servers, and 2 chat hotkeys • 1 automatic command or message sent on connect per server • Full chat, player list, scoreboards, touch controls, live 2D map, inventory/chests, and screen-off AFK mode • Background notifications for disconnect/kick, death, and up to 3 chat trigger words • Optional rewarded video unlocks 15 minutes of Pro (up to 3 times a day) • Ad-supported MINECHAT PRO (MONTHLY OR ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION) Upgrade to MineChat Pro to remove all limits and ads: • Unlimited simultaneous connections (as many as your device's memory allows) • Unlimited saved accounts, servers, chat hotkeys, on-connect commands, and chat trigger words • 2.5D isometric block map (experimental): angled view rendered with the game's actual block models and textures • Automatic server login (/login password sent automatically when joining) • Anti-AFK movement to prevent idle kicks while the app is open • Extra background and AFK alerts for taking damage, low hunger, and character movement • No ads, and instant entry into screen-off AFK mode Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your App Store account settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Any extra accounts, servers, or hotkeys saved during Pro or a 15-minute video trial are never deleted when Pro ends — they are simply hidden until you unlock Pro again.
