Just spreading awareness about whatever the fuck Mojang thinks they’re doing. Given their enforcement of the EULA, or the lack thereof, this probably isn’t going to have as huge of an impact, but I think it’s still something worth talking about.

Here’s an article on dotesports.com if you don’t want to visit Twitter.

The Minecraft EULA itself as of 2nd August. I’ve got the attention span of a rat on cocaine, so if someone could check if Rock solid’s points are an accurate summary of the EULA, I’d appreciate that.

    Servers with ANY content not suitable for 10 year olds are now prohibited

    This is just ridiculous. What makes them think they get to decide what grown-ass adults do in their own private servers?

    They are about a decade too late to child-proof Minecraft. A lot of the children they might even claimed to want to protect are adults by now.

      I really can’t wrap my head around why. Doing this on public servers I think is annoying, but there’s at least some logic to not wanting kids to stumble into mature content. Private servers though? What could possibly be the reasoning?

    If you’re a steamer or youtuber, you have to make your videos free to watch as well.

    All videos (in their entirety) are free to view (for example there is no pay wall or other charge to view the videos)

        I don’t remember anyone specific of the top of my head, but as well as Patreon, YouTube subscriptions also can have exclusive content, afaik.

    Another one bites the dust. Sad to see Mojang digging their grave like every other company these past few weeks… I keep seeing MineTest poping up, might have to give it a try soon enough.

    Ah, I guess, that would be why I saw this random mainstream streamer today “just checking out Minetest”, while also having set up their own server for their friend group and everything…

    judging a quick read of that, it seems most if not all of the changes only apply to commercial use(thankfully), they even specify it under the personal use area,so that makes me feel a little better. That being said I made it to no name brands such as mods with branded automobiles before my ADHD brain lost interest as well

    Some time ago, I like making my own servers in localhost, for testing plugins, configurations and more, but this is not good. Where is the freedom to make servers at your own? Well, making not p2w and not breaking obvious things, for this part:

    Servers with ANY content not suitable for 10 year olds are now prohibited

    It just problem of the parents. Also.

    Any server, piece of online content such as video or other may be taken down due to any reason whatsoever

      1. This can be regulated with plugins for chat if it is post on the chat.
      1. It’s a problem of the owners who make these decisions, they can make the server better or not.

    All companies now are digging own grave for themselves. Reddit, Twitter X, Meta, Google and now Mojang. Interesting times we live in.
