RE: Half A Billion People About To Be Introduced To Crypto

It would be nice but we will see if they are on infringing on mojangs eula. They have strict rules about monetization, game assets and the internal economy and can easily pull support for any server that hosts that plugin.

Sort:  

That might be true although I am not sure Microsoft is asleep at the wheel. They see where things are going and this is going to be common for gaming.

Minecraft can be at the forefront or hold onto their old ways.

I thought of making something like EnjinCraft using HiveEngine (previously SteemEngine). But I don't like putting work into something that isn't allowed. Mojang is updating their EULA from time to time. There are over 2200 servers that have been banned and can't be accessed anymore using unmodified clients, since the client checks the list on each login. So they are banning bad actors out, which is actually a good thing, since pay to win isn't that nice at the end.

Therefore, if you comply with and follow the Brand and Asset Usage Guidelines and Naming Guidelines above, YOU MAY:
  • use and sell in-game virtual currencies IF (i) they have no real-world value and that cannot be cashed out, used, or transferred across free or paid servers, or into any other currency with real-world value; (ii) you don't give the impression that it comes from or is associated with Mojang, (iii) they don't look like or have similar names to Minecoins or any other official virtual currency, and (iv) anything you sell with the currency follows our monetization guidelines.

  • sell entitlements that affect gameplay provided that they do not adversely or negatively another player’s experience and provided they do not give a competitive gameplay advantage. A competitive gameplay advantage is something that, given identical skill levels, time investment, and circumstances, can cause one player or group to perform better than another.

...

If something isn't covered by these Guidelines, that probably means we don't want you to do it.


They don't allow what EnjinCraft is trying to achieve here and servers that are using it are at risk of getting banned. Big servers that earn hundreds of thousands of dollars would never risk that and use it if there is only a slight chance of getting banned.

Since players get virtual currency (NFTs), which has real-world value and can be cashed out into real currency and may be transferred between free and paid servers it doesn't comply with their terms. Sure, some may say that EnjinCraft bypasses these rules slightly, but once Mojang notices big servers and real-world value markets, they will probably pull the plug fast as their brand has a big value which could get damaged by it.

All just my opinion, I'm not a lawyer.
