So, for those who follow Minecraft news pretty well, you probably already know about the changes made to the EULA of Minecraft. Mojang has made some huge changes to their EULA regarding donations/payed-for-perks, items, features, etc. The gist of it is, if what you gain from giving money to the server owner gives you a distinct advantage over other players who have not donated/bought from the owner, then it is therefore illegal. Quote from Mojang For years, servers have been selling these things that are now not allowed by Mojang. I'm not sure what all donators benefit from here, on the =F|A= server, so I can't say if the recent change even affects us. Besides, Mojang is most likely going to only keep their eyes on the bigger servers. Like Hypixel or the Overcast Network. The servers that have tens of thousands of players on their servers daily. For the above stated years, Mojang has let the sale of game-affecting items/features/perks/etc slide, as it kept servers alive. It's not cheap to host a server. However, the reason for Mojang stepping in and saying that this is no longer allowed, is servers have been selling packs of items/perks and whatnot for literally up to $10,000, and people have been buying them! Mojang decided that these owners have been taking advantage of Mojang's leniency, henceforth, they have now stepped in. In my opinion, this is not the right way to do it. Punishing the entire Minecraft community for something a select few popular servers have done is wrong. Unfortunately, the servers that choose to be honest, and comply to the new EULA have increased chances of not being able to pay the hosting costs. Leaving many Minecraft players without a home.
