ENDORAH

What ENDORAH does

ENDORAH is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) that designs and delivers bespoke projects, events, and digital experiences built on the Minecraft platform. Founded in April 2015 by Rémy Dronneau and Anna Bristeau and formalized as an association in April 2019 under co-presidents Maxance Villame and Dronneau, the organization operates from Chadurie, France with a core team of five supported by volunteers across specialized poles (Construction, Development, Audiovisual, Techniques, 3D Modeling, Communication). Endorah serves educational institutions, government agencies, brands, nonprofits, and gaming communities, delivering custom Minecraft maps, adventure servers, datapacks, Java plugins, and full-service event animation for clients that include EDF, Total Energies/Industreet, OCAPIAT, MSA, ANFA, NRJ Global, Centre Pompidou, Région Centre-Val de Loire, Women in Games France, and United 24.

The technical stack combines manual Minecraft world-building expertise with proprietary tooling, most notably InstantPlay, an in-house browser-based Minecraft server platform that removes client installation friction for non-technical users. Endorah also develops custom datapacks (e.g., Carbon Fighters for EDF on low-carbon energy simulation), Java plugins for competition and event management, and reusable pedagogical frameworks such as Endorah Education. Operational delivery spans the full project lifecycle — concept, technical specification, buildout, audiovisual production, event moderation, and ongoing support — with measurable outputs including 800+ 3D models for Hall of Femmes, 2,000+ visitors at Gamers Assembly 2026, and 3,000+ unique players at the Minesalt charity event with United 24.

The business model is project-based professional services combined with sponsorship and event monetization, operating under French non-profit association rules. Revenue streams include negotiated project fees for custom deliverables (educational maps, brand activations, cultural reproductions, charitable events), sponsorship from media and gaming partners (NRJ Global, Orange, Trust Gaming), donations, and grants. Distribution occurs through direct B2B engagement, downloadable content on Planet Minecraft and Mediafire, convention presence (Gamers Assembly, Lagos Games Week), and the InstantPlay self-serve platform. The association has no disclosed external investors, parent company, or equity holders, and is governed as a founder-led volunteer entity with formalized GDPR compliance since September 2024.

Product overview

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Blockworks: Professional Minecraft builder and content studio offering custom maps, builds, and server experiences for brands and agencies. Closest analog: monetizes Minecraft builds for enterprise clients, same core product/customer as Endorah, but operates as a commercial studio rather than a non-profit.
• The Voxel Box: Long-running Minecraft project builder known for large-scale adventure and PvP maps and event servers. Directly comparable along product (custom Minecraft builds), customer (communications agencies and gaming communities), and delivery model (multi-disciplinary volunteer/professional team).

Broad incumbents

• Mojang Studios: Developer and owner of Minecraft. Indispensable platform counterparty for Endorah's entire business; broad incumbent whose commercial and EULA decisions directly shape Endorah's addressable market.
• Hypixel Studios: One of the largest public Minecraft server networks (Hypixel) and creator of Hytale. Comparable because it operates event-driven Minecraft experiences at scale and competes for the same pool of creators and players, though it sits at much larger scale.

Others

• Schell Games: Independent game studio with a dedicated educational and immersive experiences division. Adjacent rather than direct: comparable in creating game-based experiences for cultural and educational institutions, but operates across multiple platforms and at significantly larger scale.

Emerging players

• Filament Games: Educational game studio that builds game-based learning products for schools, museums, and nonprofits. Comparable along customer (institutional/educational) and value proposition (gamified pedagogy), though it uses proprietary engines rather than Minecraft.
• Wynncraft: Independent Minecraft MMO server with a dedicated content team and large player base. Comparable in producing large-scale, custom-built Minecraft content experiences, though focused on a persistent game rather than bespoke client work.
