New Minecraft EULA Exceptions Added To Clarify Monetization

The fact that Minecraft users can run their own servers has always been an edged sword. A blocky, low-res sword however, one that is sharp on both sides nonetheless. Chilling and killing let players do almost anything they like which is fantastic. However, sometimes, these players break the terms of the EULA and could put Mojang in serious trouble.

"Some privately-owned Minecraft servers do charge for in-game items like extra xp, or access to specific game modes. In a blog post, Markus "Notch", Minecraft creator, wrote that some of these servers may charge quite an amount. "I don't even know how many emails we've gotten from parents asking for their hundred dollars back that their child has spent on an item pack on a server we have no control over."

Mojang has introduced new rules for monetization in order to help prevent such accusations in the future. The rules have been explained on the Mojang website However, what they are essentially saying is that there will be fewer restrictions when it comes to making and selling in-game products and other goods that are monetized. Make sure to communicate with your customers that you aren't Mojang, don't sell items that affect gameplay and don't charge real money for in-game money.

Oh, and one more thing Persson's request "Herobrine Please stop asking." [Image: Mojang]
